Three Things You Love About Yourself
Get an index card, or a post-it, and write down three things you love about yourself. I recommend that you go within and consider what you love about who you are, about your being, about your personality, and/or about your talents and gifts. If you would like to keep going after you write the top three, go for it! This is a great self-love exercise, enjoy it.
Keep in mind that this is your list, and it is not about what others love about you; it is about what you love about yourself. If it is hard to distinguish between the two, take some time to close your eyes, breathe, be quiet and then ask yourself what you want to include on your list.
When I did this exercise, the first thing that came to mind to go on the list was my smile. But then I realized my smile is something that others have told me they love, or they told me it’s beautiful, it brightens their day, and etc. While I do love it too, I have some reservations about it, so I thought I didn’t want it to go on my list at this time.
Once you take a moment to clear your mind, don’t think too much about it, and write down the first things that come to you. If you can’t think of anything right now, I suggest spending a minute with day 1’s suggestion, and give yourself a hug and breathe. Then open your eyes and write that you love your commitment to self-love, as a starting point.
When you are done, carry the index card with you and read it often. If you feel comfortable about it, feel free to post the top three things you love about yourself below or on Facebook.
Cheers,
