Appreciate Your Forever #1 ❤

Hey hey lovelies, I hope y'all are doing great. ❤

As a proud team member of the Peer Appreciation Program, I'm immensely excited to share this wonderful update with everyone.

Our project has received lots of love from the community and has surely spread it hundredfold around lol, initially we came up with the idea of appreciating our peers, considering the fact, our community is huuuuge and filled with kind, compassionate, supportive, *inserts a million other adjectives to describe awesome people here* folks- it makes sense that when we see something good in others, we likely feel inspired by them and might even hope and try to imbibe their good qualities.


Okay so appreciating people around is super cool, no doubts about that. Buttttt, what is equally cool? Brownie points if you guessed it lol, it is, *drum rolls* –--- Appreciating Ourselves. Yes, you heard that right, you humble being. :P


Here's some food for thought- Not many people find it comfortable to appreciate themselves, for xyz reasons- no worries at all and definitely no judgment whatsoever, I understand how difficult it can be and I know it firsthand because I am one of you xD but but but, we try out so many different things, for once (or once again), we can certainly try being more kind to ourselves, expressing self love and as someone once said- saying good things about yourself with meaning is the best way to express self love and encourage thyself to continually work on becoming a better version. Something that I've experienced to create some positive impact is looking at oneself through an outside- non biased, non judgmental, accepting and kind perspective.

Often we might not see ourselves as how someone else does, and chances are, we miss out on seeing and valuing the good in us.


Now now, how sad would it be, to be awesome but unaware about your awesomeness— Let's Change That ~ One awesome quality to become aware of, at a time.


How about we consider ourselves a peer too, and appreciate ourselves?

This could be literally anything under the sun (the one that shines in the sky, yes 😛)


Here's some examples of things you can submit the form for:


♡ Any and every good quality in yourself

♡ Any achievement you're proud of (and hey, getting outta bed when you don't feel like it *is* an achievement)

♡ Anything you like and appreciate in yourself physically (You got good hair? Tell us, also tell us the healthy hair secrets)

♡ Anything else about you, that makes you feel good and happy

♡ A letter to past "you" from current "you"- sharing how far you've come, Or

♡ A letter to future "you" from current "you"- sharing how you envision your future self

♡ A letter to current "you"- sharing something you'd really like to hear from someone

♡ Anything else I may have missed, but you'd like to appreciate yourself for


Are we feeling pumped enough to appreciate ourselves and get that self love kick in? Yes or Yes (?)

No further wait, appreciate your forever #1 aka *you* here (clickable). ❤

Hi, You,

I am sober, mostly. (I use the harm reduction method.) And I have had more than 10 years of therapy. I'm on psychiatric medication. I'm reinventing myself, and pushing hard to go through school to actually work in a career...to actually support myself...to live without the influence of my abusive (and worse) birth family. It isn't an easy path, but I am finding my rhythm in life again. I've got a long way to go, but I'm working on it, and I won't quit.

@purpleTree4652

Words to swear by- "I've got a long way to go, but I'm working on it, and I won't quit." ❤

It certainly isn't an easy path, or that it ever has been easy, but yesss, you've been fighting through it all, and trying your best always, and that definitely counts. I'm so proud of you, Tree, for continuing to push through with determination, resilience, and a growing self-compassion (clearly reflected in your post here also). All the love and good wishes always. You got this! ❤

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou I've written you "I've got a long way to go, but I'm working on it, and I won't quit." ❤ on a sticky note and put it on my computer. Love it. Needed it. Definitely going to use it. As always THANKS!

@purpleTree4652 I understand! I have a lousy family of origin. I live 12 miles away from them and we've had no contact since 2006. While yes, it hurts, it is the biggest self-care thing that I've done for myself. I know it is hard but it seems that you have the insight of whatever you need to do for yourself.

I love this thread. I pick a word each year and my word for 2022 is Grateful. I'm thinking of my word for 2023 and I haven't come up with one yet.

Following up to @purpleTree4652's post, I love affirmations. One of my favorites that I use is "Let Your Light Shine." For years, I tried to please my family of origin and dimmed my light because I wanted them to love me. Now, my light is on and it is shining big-time.
