We all have moments when we are our own worst critics. We focus on the things that we don’t like about ourselves and forget all of the things that we should be proud of.
This can lead to a lot of negative thoughts and feelings. But it doesn’t have to be this way! In this blog post, we will discuss 50 things that you should love about yourself. When those negative thoughts start to creep in, remember these things and admire yourself for them!
What a humbling activity to be able to sit down and brainstorm things we love about ourselves. Changing the narrative from things we dislike about ourselves to highlighting the things we admire takes time, practice, and patience. But it is so worth it to remind ourselves of things we should love about ourselves!
