I was talking with my trainer today and she mentioned another client she has who at age 50 is still struggling with feeling good about herself. We talked about how all of us can list a million things that we hate about ourselves, but can you list things you like?
One thing I have learnt is that you can't expect other people to fill your bucket with good feelings, you need to do it yourself. I do have to admit that it has taken me some years to come to this point!!
Compliments from others are lovely, but they are fleeting. You need to have your own set of internal compliments that stay with you, even on those crappy days.
So, here are five things I like about me;
1. My smile - I smile with my whole face cause when I am happy, I feel it completely. I think that is why people seem to be comfortable approaching me.
2. My laugh - yes it is loud but it is honest and real.
3. The fact I take pride in my appearance - I try to make the most of what I have.
4. My singing voice - I reckon I sound quite good.
5. My wit - I think I am pretty quick witted and sometimes I even make people laugh. I like that.
So there you go. Hope you don't mind me getting all zen on you, but I think we all need to take time every now and then to celebrate what is awesome about us.
Love to you all.
