Weekly Prompt #36: Can you list five things you love about yourself?
Hello all!
Last week we discussed: What healthy coping mechanisms do you use to manage difficult emotions? If you haven't checked yet, please click here to add your thoughts.
This week's prompt- Can you list five things you love about yourself?
We often find it easier to criticize ourselves rather than celebrate our strengths. But it is okay to practice self-love and acknowledge the positive qualities that make us unique individuals. So, let's reflect and list five things we love about ourselves.

@ASilentObserver hi there.
I love that I am:
1. Charismatic
2. Compassionate
3. Empathetic
4. Responsible
5. Rational
I feel like these characteristics describe me very well because i have identify with others easily and care about the impact I may have on people as well. I am unique and respectful, as well as intuitive and personable.

@sincerePlane4053 Awesome Ethan, Those are great qualities to have. How do these traits help you navigate challenging situations?
@ASilentObserver they allow me to see things from other people's perspective, which ultimately allows myself to interact with them differently, with details of understanding and respect.
Ethan
@sincerePlane4053 You seem to have a good awareness of how your strengths can help you navigate challenging situations.
@sincerePlane4053 I love the fact you're compassionate and charismatic as well.
1. my ability to empathize
2. my gentility
3. willingness to relate to others to solve problems
4. my resilience, baby!!!
5. not necessarily love but appreciate: the pain i've been through because it's made me the loving person i am today
@Heather225 nah! Your special, you were always destined to be a loving, kind person. You should never have gone through pain😟
6. Makes great posts
7. Pretty as a butterfly
@Heather225 Thank you H. You have so many great qualities. I'm glad you have such a positive view of yourself.
@Heather225 H I love that you're a gentle soul. That is a great quality to have, my friend. Please, do not lose that quality.
@Heather225 What a beautiful quote, my friend. Thanks for sharing this.
@ASilentObserver
Hello everyone!
A very pleasant good day/evening/night to you. 😊
It’s always a pleasure to interact with you all. Five things that I love about myself:
1. My optimism
2. Strength to overcome adversity
3. Patience
4. Respect for others and myself
5. My commitment to personal growth
I really do appreciate this discussion. It gently nudged me to start back my self-appreciation reflection reminders again. I didn’t realize that I stopped and how much I needed this again. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to post. 💓
@GentleHealingInitiative goooooood morning from sunny UK😁 they are great qualities to be proud of ❤ gives you a giant tiny hug ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Good Morning!!! 😊
Do have a blessed and lovely day ahead. 💖
@GentleHealingInitiative Thank you Gentle. It is great to see such a nice list. You have a lot of wonderful qualities. What do you think are some areas you could improve on?
@ASilentObserver Hello! Hope you’re doing well. 💓
When I first read this question, I thought of some of my weaknesses and how I could improve on them each. I then realized that although I’m aiming to improve myself, I could focus not only on the things I’m not good at, but also the things that I am- that is my strengths. Building on my strengths can help me become more masterful in that ability. Hence, one area that I would like to improve in is my reappraisal skills.
Many times in life we find ourselves in stressful situations that may produce stagnant negative emotions. By continually improving my reappraisal skills I can reduce these negative feelings and increase positive emotions from said stressful situations. I do think that I try to have an optimistic outlook from situations before, but I also do believe that there's always room for improvement.
@GentleHealingInitiative I love the fact, that you respect others. It is a great quality to have. We need more people like you, we truly do.
