Do you find that you can be your own worst critic?
Yep, I know…I do it too.
Today I invite you to take a few minutes to jot down 20 positive things about yourself. Twenty may sound like a lot, but I’d love for you to keep digging deeper when you feel you can’t think of any more. Because I KNOW you’ve got WAY more than 20 positive things about you!
They can be small things and big things. Things like:
- I’m kind
- I’m funny
- I make a great guacamole!
- People feel comfortable confiding in me
- I can keep a family and a business running pretty darn smoothly!
- I’m creative
- I’m good with animals
- I can still remember the words to a song from high school days
- I shine my Light
- I have a strong connection to Spirit
- I’m a good friend
- I smile at strangers
- I encourage people
- I love to learn new things
- I’m resourceful
- I play the piano
- I remember to fit in ME time
- I know a lot about _______
Get the drift? And if you want to keep going after you reach 20, that would be wonderful! I encourage it!
Then take a moment to read through your list again and acknowledge yourself for all the wonderful ways you show up in this world. I bet you’ll agree that we’re all pretty lucky to have you along with us on this journey called Life!
So simple yet so profound, Maryellen!! We ARE our own worst critics and it is amazingly healing to remember our gifts and what we are bringing to the party!! Lighten up on ourselves, already!!! xoxoxoxoxo
Excellent, thank you so much for this post!
I’ve passed it along~
Unbellievable simple. We women are our worst enemy. Thank you for reminding me how wonderful I am.
