Did you sit down and think about the ten things you like about yourself? How far did you come?
To be really honest with you, I didn’t sit down to think about it. I thought about it, but it hurt that I couldn’t come up with 10 things. In my mind I had at least 6 but when I wanted to write them down I wasn’t so convinced that there was something that should be on that list. Things you like about yourself don’t have to be huge. It can be something very small. Maybe you like your sense of style. Or how good you are at doing your make up in the morning. Maybe you like the way you cook. Maybe you’re proud of how good you look in your selfies. Anything goes. I’m making this list right now and I am well aware that this isn’t my list. So, I decided to stop thinking and just make that list. No explaining, no excuses, just write down whatever comes to mind. Ten things I like about myself: - I am creative. - I’m a fast learner. - I have a big heart, I’m caring and selfless - I forgive easily - I’m strong. - I’m kind. - Helping others makes me happy. - I’m a good mother. - I’m a good amateur baker - I’m proud of how I pushed/I’m pushing myself to grow to become a better person. I stopped thinking. I stopped over thinking. I had to stop thinking before I could write these things down. Finding those 10 things will make you feel better. Do this for YOU. You will benefit from this. But no one else can do this for you. So, if you haven’t already. Stop thinking and write down those 10 things you like about yourself. If you can come up with 15, good, keep going. But don’t stop before you reach ten. I noticed last night that it’s easier to make a list in your head. It’s a little harder to say them out loud to yourself. But the hardest part is sharing them with someone. But it’s so much more satisfying after you shared it. If something doesn’t make you at least a little bit uncomfortable, you’re staying in your comfort zone. No matter how cozy your comfort zone is, it’s not a place where you want to be. At least, not for ever. I am rolled up in my blanket like a burrito in my comfort zone. I’m enjoying the coziness but it doesn’t make me happy. A comfort zone isn’t a place where people find happiness. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you can start making changes. Making this list will make you uncomfortable. Now you have two options: 1. Stop thinking about it and go back to your comfort zone. 2. Keep going until it becomes comfortable. Believe me, you want to choose option 2. Haven’t you ever picked option one and you couldn’t stop thinking about what it would be like to choose 2? I know I have, many times. So this time I chose 2. It feels great. Choose to leave that comfort zone, even if it’s just for a few minutes at a time. Write that list. You are a great person, you just need to start believing in yourself. You need to like yourself and love yourself. Find reasons to be proud of yourself. Pat yourself on the back when you did something you’re proud of. You are your closest friend. Act like it! Have you come up with a list of your own? Would you like to share them? If you haven’t thought of a list yet, take your time to make one. We’re all a work in progress, don’t ever forget that. We’ll be alright. ;)
