How many times have you sat back and thought about how much you love YOURSELF? I mean really sat down and wrote down all the good qualities of YOU! While filling out an application to volunteer to be a child advocate I was asked several questions about myself that had me stumped. For example: What are your best qualities? I couldn't think of them. As I began to write I began to cross things off the list before they made the paper...
WAIT A SECOND!!!!
That doesn't make sense right? I thought the same thing, especially when I got to the questions asking for my three major weaknesses and I only had a hard time getting the top three although I had a list a mile long. That is what seems to be the issue with most. We are our biggest critics, which sometimes stands in our way of self love and in turn loving someone else.
So What Can We Do?
How about every morning we tell ourselves something good about ourselves. If you have nothing that you can possibly think of (which there is probably a million you refuse to accept), then make one up that you want to have. 'Fake it til you make it!' Some say that if you tell yourself enough you begin to believe it and eventually it become a reality. So if you tell yourself you are amazing, you will soon begin to feel that way which will make you AMAZING! Pretty easy huh? We'll see!
