I am in a mental health group for self-esteem right now. As part of homework, we were supposed to write ten positive things about ourselves. This is not actually a challenge for me. In fact, it has become so not a challenge for me that I wonder if I'm not almost avoiding it by saying it has become easy. I thought I should sit down and write an actual list, and not make it trivial things, but put some work into it. These are ten things I like about myself, in this moment (when I'm writing, obviously, not when you are reading, the only moment you have access to, pbltttt).
- I am willing to say, "fuck it," and get on with things.
- I see a world beneath the world, that I don't know how to describe, but that brings depth and value to my observations.
- I have strong access to intuitive tools of understanding.
- I empower growth in others.
- I am deeply empathic.
- I am open to any exercise or activity.
- I am agile and dexterous.
- I get stronger fast.
- I am honest and open that I need help with my depression.
- I love unconditionally.
This list is in no particular order, and is not comprehensive. It is a good list for this moment.
