What do I like about myself?

View More Posts Ignore
I've started a list, every day I think of something I like about myself, and those feelings grow. It's something I learned in a book, "Learning to love yourself". I've been doing it faithfully for over a year (I already do a daily journal so it's easy for me). It's funny how I could think of a hundred things I don't like about myself, but one I do? Every day? It gets easier and builds me up and I NEED that. I need to feel good about myself in order to be out there participating in life and seeking out other people who can be a good influence on me and me on them.
I put them all in a list w/ the date on 3x5 cards after I entered them in my journal. And when I reached one year I read the one from the cards from the same date last year, to be reminded of something I like about myself. Something different each day. And I continue my list because I need that. I'm too hard on myself and it is up to me to change that.
