I'm always encouraging people to make lists of things they love about themselves.
When we add to our list a little each day, this task forces our brain to focus on the positive things about ourself.
The longer we participate in this activity/game, the deeper we have to dig to come up with something meaningful.
I also encourage my clients (an myself, of course!!) to pay attention to what others say around them, change the statement to an "I" statement and add it to your list if you believe it
Example:
When I opened the door recently after just stumbling out of bed, the person on the other side said, "You have beautiful skin"
You know what-SHE RIGHT!! and I added that to my list "I have beautiful skin"
Tips:
- Your list should be added to regularly (like daily!)
- Your list should be easily accessible (preferably in a note in your phone)
- When self doubt creeps in, access that list and read it until you have a new thought to cling to!
Try it!! I promise this simple exercise give your brain a positive purpose each day and is life changing.
With that intro, I'll share the list Shelley made for me!!
