Learning to Love Yourself: Part 2

Finding the Good:

Take a few minutes and list ten things that you like about yourself.  This list will be difficult but give it a shot.  Here is my list to give you a few ideas:

1.  I am intelligent.
2.  I am cheerful.
3.  I am compassionate.
4.  I am loving.
5.  I am a great listener.
6.  I am proud of my all-natural hair color.
7.  I am mostly in shape.
8.  I am energetic.
9.  I am attentive.
10.  I am hopeful.

Take a look at your list, even it took you awhile.  These are things to be proud of. 

What if I can't find ten things? 
That's okay.  Even one thing is a start. 

Isn't it sinful to boast?
Yes.  However, God did create you and saw good.  This is an exercise in seeing the good that God sees and learning to love who you are and who you can be.

I've made the list.  Now what?
When you are feeling down or being too hard on yourself, look at this list and remind yourself of the good you have.  Learn to see and love the good in you.
