10 Things I love about myself!

8/16/2011

I'm literally taking a page from Jillian Michaels book. Because we seem to focus on all of the things we don't like about ourselves (I'm the Queen of this....), we need to connect with the things we love about ourselves. We need to quit focussing on the negative, as that's what we'll believe about ourselves, and realize what we have to offer and love about ourselves. I'd love you to comment below w/ 10 things you love about yourself. C'mon! You can do it. I challenge you! Come back frequently to your list to remind yourself of who you are.
These are in no particular order
*I love the courage it took for me to put myself out there and start this website
*I love that I'm a responsible and caring pet owner
*I love that I'm pretty damn funny
*I love my taste and knowledge of music
*I love that I'm a wonderful friend to many
*I love the color of my eyes
*I love that I'm environmentally concious
*I love that I'm a loving mother
*I love my hair
*I love that I had the courage to go to therapy

Now, your turn!

6. I love that I have a new job

7. I love that I can listen to others

8. I love that I can make others laugh

Okay Jen... TEN?! I agree with Asha, this is going to take some time. I can think of five now and will attempt to finish the rest of my homework assignment later. So.

1. I love that I am flexible. I like to go with the flow of daily crazy life.
2. I love that I taught my kids a love for vegetables even though I still dislike most myself.
3. I love that I won't do 'anything' for my kids. Yes there is a line.
4. I really love that I am learning to fail with grace and love teaching my students strategies to deal with life's challenges and failure without embarrassment or blame.
5. I love that I am strong. I've been carrying a 20 pound weight around for the last 10 years, so that helps!

The next 5 are going to be hard. I'll keep thinking and come back. Thanks for sharing all. Hugs!

1. I love that I keep in touch with family and friends.
2. I love that i have a sense of humor
3. I love that I am a good wife & mom
4. I love that often times I can take the high road and not stoop to the idiots level.
5. I love that I am thoughtful and caring
