What do you love about yourself?

October 1, 2009

Happy October! This month, I want everyone to forget the idea that you’re arrogant, self-centered or just plain narcissistic if there are certain qualities you love and like to celebrate about yourself. So, I want to ask you, what do you love about yourself?

Please do share! If you’re a blogger and want to do a post on your own blog about this, do leave a link in the comments too so we can all check it out! I also think keeping a list like this somewhere special will be a great pick-me-up on days when you’re not feeling too good and things are getting you down. Write as much as you can, and they can be as serious or silly as you want! I’ll start things off …

What I Love About Myself

  • I love that I’m an only child.
  • I love that I have more than a handful of friends that are the ‘fly-half-way-across-the-world-to-bail-you-out-of-jail’ type friends. Not that I’ve ever been in jail, though.
  • I love that I have survived some very challenging times in my life and I am still smiling today.
  • I love my height. Thanks, Dad.
  • I love that I have standards and morals I live up to, and I’m even more happy that everyone around me seems to respect it.
  • I love my handwriting! (All 8 of them.)

I look forward to reading your list, let’s celebrate ourselves! :)

Im 1.87 :) And you? You’re not allowed to be taller than me when you’re wearing heels! :)

175cm! In heels I have no idea. But it doesn’t matter as I can’t wear heels, I have major knee/foot issues :( I mean, I can wear them but I’ll have muscle spasms, my knees will go crazy; and it’s just the worse pain :(

Hello Renee,

Wish I could say that I love my height, but I’m so short!!! How tall are you? What I do love about myself is that nothing anyone says about me can get me down! I’m pretty thick skinned!!!!

Ruth, that’s so great you’re so thick skinned! I am too, although I am human and have my moments :( KEEP IT UP!

And I’m 5’9″ :D

I love that I can rely on myself as a person and that I will always stick up for what I believe in.
I love that I’m participating in Thrill the World (thrilltheworld.com) and that I’m going to be zombie Lady Gaga for it/Halloween.
I love how I look, despite any days that I have low self-esteem/feel fat.
I love that I have a great and supportive family and for the good friends that I have.
I love that I can accomplish whatever I put my mind to do, no matter how off the wall it might seem to others.
I love that I don’t really care about what others think and that I can make my own decisions in life!
I love posts like this because everyone needs to have a “I love ME!” moment! Too often we’re told not to love ourselves, and what’s wrong with a little self-lovin?

What a great list, Danielle. You have some very amazing qualities and I am glad you could share it with me (us?). And YES to “I LOVE ME” moments! I especially chuckled at your Lady Gaga costume plan for Halloween – can’t be too hard, huh? That woman’s style is mad! :-P

I plan on wearing some sort of sparkly tube top dress thing with a blonde wig and hair bow and zombie makeup – with glitter! I’m surprised you haven’t been a part of Thrill the World. Maybe start a chapter in Singapore and come join us!

That sounds awesome! We do have it here, I think. It sounds familiar that’s for sure. I was thinking of dressing up as Avril Lavigne, to shut everyone up. (Everyone has been saying for years I look like her). But my plan might backfire :-P

P.S. I want to see pictures of you on Halloween then! :)

I love that I am pursuing yoga because it makes me feel great.
I love that I have a really silly sense of humor.
I love that I don’t need to wear foundation for people to think I have flawless skin.
I love that my list of books to read is longer than movies to see.
I love that my sister’s ask me to do their makeup.

I’m in such a state of mind these days, that I could better answer to the question “What I hate about myself” but I can give a try to this one too.
I love that an ambitious person and I accomplish everything I put my mind to
I love that I’m here now though I’m facing some hard times
I love that I can have the power to fight, survive and come back to the light
I love that I can still have the hope although everyone around me tells me that is too late
I love that when I decide on something no one can stop me
I love that I’m adventurous, I like to live the moment and I’m not afraid to go alone in this life
