I have been giving myself mini monthly goals and ‘Write down 10 things you love about yourself’ has been one of those mini goals to do. I’ve been putting it off for a while and honestly it’s because I felt like it would be hard for me to come up with 10 different things without having to look up some ideas. If I couldn’t list those off the top if my head, then what would that mean? Would it mean that I don’t love myself enough? Would it mean that I need help? I didn’t want to fall into that way of thinking, so procrastination. I finally tried it and I was able to list my 10 things one right after the other. I love myself a lot more than I gave myself credit for. Here’s to this silly little journal prompt, you should try it too ♡
10 Things I Love About Myself (in no order):
·𖥸· ─ I am a hard worker. I work the hours that I’m scheduled plus more. I don’t call off my shifts unless it’s really needed. Sometimes when work should be covered, I still work it. Even when I’m not at work, I am working.
·𖥸· ─ I’m pretty cute, as in i’m a cute person. I’m not referring to my looks, but it’s more of my personality or aesthetic. I basically am Hello Kitty in a human form.
·𖥸· ─ I am a good friend. I pride myself in those who I keep around and in my circle. I do what I can for my friends whether it’s physical or emotional. I support my friends in what they do in all forms. I have a crazy work schedule, but I do try to make it to events and my friends’ life moments. I’m here to support their endeavors and will spread the word around or share what they post. I try to be a safe space for them to come to with no judgement unless they ask.
·𖥸· ─ I’m an independent person. It’s true, I am just a girl, but I’m an independent one. If something goes wrong, I am the one fixing it or finding solutions the best I can without asking for help. I do love that about myself, but it can also be my weakness. I’ve been an independent person for what feels like my entire life, so it also is hard for me to ask for help. I do know that I can depend on myself though. I provide for myself in my daily life and can afford the luxuries in my life. I’m not rich by any means, so don’t get any ideas there LOL.
·𖥸· ─ My ability to do solo adventures. I’m not sure if it’s been noticeable, but I’ve been doing a lot of solo adventures. If this was 4 years ago, I would have just stayed home and not even go to events by myself. I wouldn’t even go to a restaurant by myself back then. I do all of that on my own now. I don’t miss out on events just because I have to be by myself. I actually really do enjoy my own company, I enjoy it so much that I’ve been doing solo trips out of the state and still having a great time.
·𖥸· ─ I’m passionate. I’m passionate my hobbies, I’m passionate about certain things like topics and views. I’m passionate about love, my friends and family.
·𖥸· ─ I am strong enough. I am strong enough to keep moving on and moving forward on things I choose to do or from events in my life. I’m strong enough to not let bad or negative things stop me from being myself. I’m strong enough to know I needed help and seek out therapy on my own. I’m strong enough to accept that I am broken in certain areas of my life and tend to them.
·𖥸· ─ Drive. I didn’t realize this until a friend pointed it out (thank very much). I also love the drive that I have. I’m looking to be better, do better, feel better always and I try my best to always be better. I’m constantly working on myself in many different ways, i’m also always looking into new things to do or trying new things. My drive is strong.
·𖥸· ─ Emotionally intelligent. Not everyone can be emotionally intelligent and sometimes being emotionally intelligent can also be bad. I can feel small and big feelings. I can feel simple and complex feelings. I can let myself feel, then express it in words. I can be open to understand the emotions or feelings of others. I make space and hold that space for others and myself.
·𖥸· ─ Last one on the list, but I am me. I love me, I am Sally. I know who I am and have not changed my authenticity to try to compete or to be better than anyone else. I don’t change who I am to try to impress others or to fit into peoples lives. I understand that I’m not everyones favorite and people will dislike me, hate me, think i’m annoying, think whatever of me and I’m completely fine with that. I myself don’t like every person I meet either, that’s just life. Everyone gets the same me, 100% authentic Sally.
I wrote everything in a journal first, then typed it in the blog. I won’t lie, I feel a little self centered sharing my list out there, but you know what? Why should I be scared to be self centered? What will a list of what I like about myself do? I’m wish more people shared what they loved about themselves. I want people to be happy about themselves and I want more people to celebrate themselves. It’s absolutely fine to be about you. Show yourself some love too. ♡
