100 Things You Like About Yourself

Not open for further replies.
It's totally okay if you need a lot of time for your list, and it's okay if you start with just one item. I know this topic is extremely hard to work on for some, and I myself find it's a huge stressor at times to even think about liking myself. But I found that starting a list has helped me to embrace the items on it more and be more conscious about them. Sometimes, writing something down can make it feel more true.

I have another for my list, inspired by angel2write:

12. I can work extremely hard physically. (I worked at a car wash, at a band conveyor; my tasks were either to clean all the windows - inside and out - or clean the cock pit+front window in 3mins flat; boss thought I'd pass out within 1hr because I'm so thin, but I worked 6hrs without a break, no problem, and I loved it. Had bruises everywhere after this *gg*)
 
What an awesome thread!!!Might take me awhile to compile my list, but I'll make a start.

1. I have never given up on myself. Countless others have, but I just keep getting back on my horse when I fall.

10. I like to pick out and give people presents.
11. I can make crafts, like dolls and afghans and prayer shawls that people treasure.
12. I have a smile that lights up my face. Even though I'm kind of plain, I've had people tell me that my smile makes me beautiful.

16. The fact that I can think logically about things.
