What do you love about yourself? (don't ignore this because you feel like the answer is "nothing"!)
This can be an incredibly hard question to answer, especially when you feel like there's nothing to love about yourself. One time I was feeling really down and someone told me to think of 5 good things that happened that week and I struggled for a long time trying to list 5, but I felt better after I had done so.
So, list 5 things you love about yourself. Take as much time as you need.
Here's my 5 for inspiration:
1. My hair (the curls are great!)
2. I'm "unapologetically myself" (this is something a friend told me a few months ago and it really stuck)
3. My eyes (sure, they're a plain brown, but they're beautiful)
4. My growth mindset (I'm not perfect, and I know I can't be, but I'm always looking to grow and improve who I am)
5. My aesthetic (it doesn't take people long to know skulls and roses are my thing)
Hmmmm, I'm not really sure...
1. My imagination. I think that I have a very vivid imagination.
2. I have broad interests.
3. I'm good at art and music
4. I have good music tastes
5. My hair is naturally straight
Thanks for this post!

Hi, thanks for reminding us to think positive things about ourselves.
1. My 'never quit' fighting spirit
2. My creativity
3. My oddball sense of humor
4. My ability to identify songs I know and what band it is from when I hear only secnds or less of the song
5. And yeah my hair because it is thick, wild and cool like a lions mane
That I'm caring

This is not an easy question lately. Thanks for suggesting we not shy away from this question even when it feels hard. Our brains can be little tricksters and we need to learn how to work through and see through this.
1. I love my stubborn persistence. I love that I don't give up on something I want because the going gets tough (sometimes really tough and sometimes when I have felt a lot of shame about it).
2. I really love my hands and collarbones. I think they are my favorite and most beautiful parts of my body.
3. I love that I stand up for what is right (sometimes when it might not be the most advisable and it gets me into trouble or makes my life more difficult) I can't keep my mouth shut even when I know nobody is watching I will speak up when I hear something racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, etc.
4. I love that I care deeply and that I am deeply moved.
5. I love that I have put work into allowing myself to enjoy the things I enjoy and not feel embarrased - I sing and dance if I feel moved to at appropriate times and I don't care if other people think it is beautiful because it brings me tremendous joy.
Well 5 things ..
1)I love my brain ..i am always innovative looking to solve problems and helpful
2) I do work on myself and change
3)I like to explore, and can force myself to new things i guess
4) I am easy talking to type of person
5) I am not judgmental person and try to be fair

i mostly just star gaze
My freinds and how they think I'm creative and funny
1. I'm inquisitive.
2. I'm emphatic.
3. I like reading books and learning things that I don't know of.
My strength, even when I don't feel/see it all the time.
I love that at the end of the day I try to do as much as my mental state let's me handle.
