How to Love Yourself
photo source
Go get a notebook and fill a page with reasons you are an amazing person. I'm not kidding, when you finish, you'll be thrilled to be you. I did this recently when I was feeling down and felt a million times better when I was done. If you get stuck, write down something silly. Just keep writing until that page is full! I don't care if your list is silly or serious, just do it.
My list has a little bit of everything. Here are some examples:
I learn romance languages easily.
I'm dedicated to things I care about.
I like my handwriting.
My freckles are cute.
I have strong morals and live by them.
If you finish one page and still aren't very happy with yourself, keep writing! Go until you're happy. Also, if you finish a page and are still coming up with reasons you love yourself, by all means write those down too.
Now whenever you're feeling blue about yourself, open your notebook, read your list and get back to being your own number one fan!
I'd love to know what sort of things are on your list. Please comment and inspire us all with your favorite things about yourself.

lovin the blog !!! check mine out u mite as well follow lol
aw what a great idea! doing stuff like that really does wonders for a down in the dumps kind of day.
Amazing post dear!! i would love to try .. so i think i will do this soon and post about it!! thanks a lot !!
I love this idea! One of mine would be: I have an infectious laugh ;)
Oops! I forgot to mention I tagged you today!
Cheers,
Tara
love the positive entry! all too often I find myself focusing on what I do not like about myself. I think many need a reminder (like myself) to take time to focus on the positives. I think I will do this soon.
that is a GREAT idea! :)
WOW!! this is a fantastic idea Michelle.. i'll definitely try it and let you know the result :)
When I read this post I thought "great idea". And the second thing I thought about was "I love myself for loving writing". And in the last couple of weeks I have forgotten how it feels when my new poem is done...
*btw I am new here and would love to read and comment your blog from now on*
Tina <3
This is a fabulous idea. What a great way to help bring yourself up when you are feeling down. I'd probably get hung up on the thought that I might be bragging about myself. But if it is only for myself, then who cares...right?
I LOVE THIS IDEA! I need to get a notebook and start working on my list immediately. :) Thank you for posting.
You are an inspiration, my dear.
great idea! I carry a notebook everywhere with me!
What a wonderful lesson. I think they should use this idea in Preschool and revisit it at the beginning of each school year thereafter.
What a refreshing blog! I love all of it! Not a follower yet; waiting til you get to 999, then I'll be the 1000th.
Inside my book, I'd write that "I like to laugh." I like that about moi.
What a great antidote for those "feeling blue" days.
I'm glad you all liked this idea! I'm a little jealous that a couple of you mentioned that your laugh would be on the list. I think mine is goofy. :)
That is awesome. Thanks for that idea.
Aw, what a fantastic way to brighten up your day! I might have to give this one a try :-)
A lovely idea, just like you!
beautiful advice
michelle - i have a goofy laugh too, but it would be near the top of the list... own it, girl!
you mind-reader!
i was just having a down day today.
wishing to change soo much about myself.
now i know what to do to keep myself from doing that!
i might even post/decorate my list and put it on my mirror.
=]
thanks a tonnnn!

The title in itself seized my attention the instant I saw it. This is the kind of stuff I've been doing sporadically for who knows how long. Just for this one post, you've got my follow.
Inspiration? I might try that. It'd be a welcome change from my usual stuff...

that's good idea. Ill do it :) and ill write at my blog too :)
what a great idea!!
Great idea. Really helpful :)
I know I'm a little behind but I love this idea!
It is fully true. We feel disappointeed for the simple reason that we do not know ( or, recall) what all we can do, and how many alternatives we have.This blog tries to give an insight to that forgotten aspect
deeply grateful, enjoyed the cool blog. great work !!
This is such wonderful advise! Thanks for reminding us how to remember how important and special we are.
i love that thought of yours. its often hard to love myself. my own father will tell me you know dont eat lunch or dinner because you know your the biggest one in the house. i just turned 16 and i weigh 126 pounds i work out and im more muscle then fat but im 5foot2 and being short doesnt help you know. well...ill get to the point that was a great idea.
I definitely did this at one of my lowest points. And it felt good. And if I need reminding I just read it again. Check out my blog if you get a chance!
congrats on blog of note, super fun blog!! I like your journal idea...think I might need to go feel better about myself now haha. I cant wait to catch up on some of your posts!
Wow good advice! We also like to play the "think of five good things which have happened today" game, which always cheers us up. I'm off sick so I need cheering up...
1. I got breakfast in bed;
2. I got sunflowers in the post;
3. Lots of lovely people visited my blog;
4. My friend turned up for a chat with cream cakes;
5. I feel a little better
Love it! This is one of my favorite strategies - and it works! Tops on my list = my friends and family can always count on me. Have a great day.

Well you are living a very healthy life, with your thoughts and the things you do to yourself. Its really sounds marvellous to be your own, and relive yourself day after day, till you come to the end of a conclusion that you are the number one fan of yourself..
