What do you like about yourself challenge?
It is very rare to come across women whom have positive things to say about themselves.
There are the following:
1. Women who only see the negative
2. Those who are a little confident but still a little shy.
3. Those are super confident, love everything about themselves and lets everyone know about it.
For much of my youth the word “beautiful” eluded me, I was the dumpy, talkative, opinionated one. My two sisters on the other hand are totally different, my younger sister is internally and visually beautiful and will always receive a compliment on how attractive she is, and my older sister is beautiful whether you agree with her or not and would look in the mirror and state this fact.
And then there was me, I grew up disliking myself for numerous reasons too long to mention and it was a process to finally love the person I am now, and i do with a passion, flaws and all.
I believe as a rule that we should regularly focus on what is great about ourselves and we don't do this enough. We are so busy supporting everyone else in our circle that we tend forget about ourselves.
So I thought it would be fun if we could come up with at least five things we like about ourselves. Once you have done this, , write them down and refer to them when you are feeling less than yourself.
Like medicine, we all need a healthy dose of "I remember Why i am so great " so I would like you to join me in this #whatilikeaboutmyself challenge.
I’ll go first…
I like me… I like who I am and whom I have become, flaws and all. I like the the way my brain works, it's inquisitive, intuitive, and constantly searching for the truth. I get it wrong sometimes and that’s ok, it's part of my learning curve and I try not to be too hard on myself.
I am empathetic and compassionate but it doesn't mean I'm a pushover, I also have a bullshit radar which is on at all times.
I love that I am self aware and also aware of my super power and I'm not afraid to use it.
I am beautiful which is sometimes hard to admit or even speak out loud but I now believe it, I exude it – I believe that being beautiful is what you become, the internal you which manifests externally.
I like the fact that I'm of mixed heritage – Caribbean and African, I love my chocolate skin, my big booty, big brown eyes and lips on which I use red - for my signature look. .
I love the fact that I am a good person at heart, my intention is not to hurt, maim or kill, I instinctively want to help and encourage but don't mess with me because will come for you.
Over to you ladies...
