100 Things You Like About Yourself

Status
Not open for further replies.
I think I'll start. I've been avoiding this thread because, at times, it's hard for me to find anything to compliment (about myself).

1. I LIKE that I am DIFFERENT (despite the ridicule & criticism from my family). I'm not like my parents and I do not want to be.
2. I am STRONG.

3. I can cook (pretty well, I think- others think so too) and I just made homemade bread!
 
8. I love completely without reservation.
.

OK... so I might be theiving here, but sometimes you don't realize things about yourself until you read what someone else wrote, but hen you add a bit to make it yours....soooo...

74.I love completely without reservation, or fear. Don't they say....'it's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all??' Id'e rather take a chance and b hurt than sit on the sidelines. You may never know what you could have missed.

:)
 
57. That I can learn to except each day as it is, not how I want it to be.
58. That I too can learn how to control my emotions better. (The volcano is almost completely dormant ;))
59. Learning to plant more seed ideas to grow in hubby's mind instead of the full grown plant.
60. That I dont change my own plans anymore, unless hubby is in melt down. Not just because he is scared of being alone anymore.

60 done only 40 to go. :D
 
I still haven't managed to draw the pictures for Curiouser and bittersweet, but hey, good things need time, and sometimes a lot. Like, quite a lot, indeed.

44. I like about myself that, although I'm still far behind on the plans I had for this year, I have been keeping my head above the water - although my T kind of dumped me, although I still can't work, although my psyche's still as brittle as some tiny little flower in a vat of liquid nitrogen.

45. I like about myself that, although I woke up today and just wanted to die, I didn't even scratch myself and managed to pull myself back up onto the 'might as well live' level by thinking about nice things instead of all my mistakes.

46. I like about myself that, although I'm really really really really in the mood for a guilt trip, I resisted posting in the 'I'm sorry'-thread and chose to force some positive, life-affirming stuff out of my brain instead.

47. I like about myself a certain x-rated thing that I did yesterday. No, I won't tell *any* details. But it was great, he liked it :D
 
The idea of doing this makes me want to cry, and I'm having a really bad day, but I'm gonna try, cuz I think this might be what I need right now.

1. I always have affection for a good dog.
2. After years of struggling with eating disorders (bulimia/compulsive eating) I finally have a healthy relationship with food. I lost almost 100lbs and I somehow managed to do this on my own. It makes me feel good, that I got to a point where I liked myself enough to do that for myself.
3. I am kind hearted and try to see the good in people in spite of being hurt many, many times.
4. I am a very good cook.
5. I am genuine.
6. I try to always be self-aware in my actions and how they affect others.
7. I don't take my stuff out on others, if I can help it, but I'm also learning to open up and share who I am a bit. (This doesn't always go well.)
8. I tackle my ptsd and triggers face on because I own my own life, and nothing and/or no one is going to take that away from me.
9. because of that, I constantly challenge myself by pushing my boundaries. It doesn't always go well, but it always proves I'm stronger than I think I am.
10. I've got pipes like nobody else, and I still get on stage in spite of being scared s$%less.
