Well, I know that title may sound a little conceited, but I've been attending a Self Esteem class for the past few weeks and I thought I'd give this a try - to see if I could come up with 25 positive things that I either like about me, am proud about, or are just positive.
In the past few weeks, due to many events in life, I have really learned to try my very best to focus on the positive things in life. There have been too many years, of mine, spent being negative and focusing on the sad or depressing things in life...like, 'I wish I had's' or 'If only...". So, this is me putting my work in my Self Esteem class to practice! Now, let's see what I come up with and how long it takes! I'll let you know at the end!
1. I love my curly hair. I have my Daddy's curls and have no idea what I would do without them! I mean, I might actually have to style my hair if it was straight, so, I'll keep the curls!
2. I think I'm a pretty humorous person! I think I have a good sense of humor!
3. I have learned to be thankful for my disability...some days are definitely harder than others, but it has made me who I am today.
4. I love that I can get people to laugh and have a good time! One of my goals in life is to hear laughter and see people smile!
5. I'm really good with kids! I love spending time with them...I seem to just click with them all!
6. I love it that I'm so good at keeping in touch with people, even when they're not, sometimes! Would you believe me if I told you that I still talk to my favorite 8th grade teacher about once a week?!
7. I'm proud of myself for walking! Especially since there were a few that thought I never would!
8. I have such determination! When I put my mind to something, I do it!
9. I'm the best Mommy to Juno, my baby (kitten!). I show her all the love and affection a Mommy could ever muster!
10. I have a great singing voice when I actually try...I just don't tell everyone!
11. I love that I am really learning from my past mistakes and from those around me, and putting a lot of necessary actions into my daily life!
12. I can type pretty fast for someone who can't put her fingers on the right keys!
13. I like that I'm so outgoing and can strike up a conversation with, pretty much, anyone and everyone!
14. I have good picture taking capabilities!
15. I am a superb writer! I love writing fiction, nonfiction, poems, etc.
16. My English is very proper, when I want I to be! - Thanks Mom!!!
17. I'm proud of myself for being able to be independent! I have my own apartment, make my own meals, and pay my bills!
18. I make a very yummy home-made pasta sauce! Thanks, again, Mom! - it's a spin-off of her recipe!
19. I make the best chicken, EVER!!! I know that's 2 foods in a row, but, really, I make a mean chicken dinner! Thanks to Wendy, that is!
20. I like it that I can see the positive in people!
21. I'm proud of myself for making this list - all on my own! I wouldn't have been able to do this a few months ago!
22. I'm an excellent reader...either aloud or to myself!
23. I'm creative...especially when it comes to making scrapbooks!
24. I'm proud of all the progress I've made, especially within the past few months.
25. I'm an excellent dancer! I have great rhythm and know a good beat when I hear one!
WOW! I really did it! That was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be! I guess all those Self Esteem classes are really working! HOORAY!!!
