Woohoo, I lost 0.2 of a pound! Yay, that means I'm slowly but surely getting out of this plateau and losing the weight I gained from my binge session the other day. :)
Today, I thought I'd do things a bit different. What are five strengths you have that you love about yourself? This can be tricky because I know how hard it is to think of yourself positively.
My Five Strengths1. I genuinely care about people. I don't put on a fake smile or pretend to like someone. However, sometimes this is a double-edged sword especially when I overextend myself.
2. I try hard to see things from other people's perspective even if it's completely different from my own. I realize we all may not agree 100% all the time and I try to keep an open mind about this.
3. I'm a fairly positive person, or at least try to be. After losing my brother, god mother, step mother, and having a long-time boyfriend of 5+ years cheat on me with my best friend; trust me, I have plenty to be negative about. But I've been down that road of depression and never again will I find myself feeling so hopeless that life isn't worth living. I chose to be positive because I know what it's like to be the recipient of good joy from someone else when I'm having a rough time.
4. I'm a go-getter. When I set my mind on something, I generally have a plan and try hard to stick to the plan to reach my goals. This applies in both my work and personal life. Obstacles are just hiccups but they aren't the end of everything.
5. I love to laugh often. My boyfriend has a knack for making me giggle so hard I have to run to the bathroom fast or else risk having an accident! Those are the laughs I remember the most and keep me going. As a child, I was nicknamed "Giggle box" for this reason. I would just randomly giggle at nothing at all and would have the entire class (including my teacher) laughing! The power of a smile/laughter is contagious!
Phew, this was hard but now it's YOUR turn! What are your five strengths?
