Self love is important.  You see quotes all over Pinterest land that look like the one below.  Even though I spend most of my blog energy writing about myself, it’s not always easy to come up with a list of things I like about myself.  When one of my new favorite bloggers posted this list for herself and then announced it would be a link up, I felt inspired to join along.  Go read her original post and then make your own list.

1.  I’m really good at directions.  Well, I’m good at knowing where I am and how to get where I’m going… I’m not always the best at giving other people directions when they are lost – that’s what Google Maps is for.  I’m a weirdo that studies maps.

2.  I’m a fighter when it comes to things I believe in, but I do in ways that I feel will make the most impact.  Getting into debates on social media or in bars doesn’t really benefit anyone.

3.  I understand the importance of gratitude.  I’m not perfect, but focusing on that for an entire year was so impactful.

4.  I am the best sleeper.  I’m out like a light every time I hit the pillow and can sleep through everything.  I’m learning that it is a great blessing.

5.  I’ve got a pretty good memory, especially when it comes to people.  I’m pretty good at remembering people and things that they like/dislike, their birthdays and the details.  It makes it fun to shop for people.  It makes it a little awkward when I remember people and every conversation we’ve had and they don’t remember my name. It’s super cool.

6.  I love that my hair and nails grow super fast… I can’t even imagine what would happen if I took those prenatal vitamins ever.  Most days, I even like my hair color which makes my wallet love me.

7.  I think I’m a good judge of character.  I have amazing friends and the best husband in the entire world.  So I’m a big fan of that.

8.  I am healthy.  I may not be in the best of shape, but my body allows me to get out and be active.

9.  I’m a total nerd and get excited about the littlest things.  My dogs amaze me every single day even though they lay around the same way they did yesterday.  A postcard in the mail can make my week.

10.  I’m open to try new things.  I love trying new food, listening new music, visiting new places.  I like to do a little research before getting too crazy, but it’s rare that I will say no.

Go write your list and make sure to share it.  Brag on yourself a little bit.  And if someone pays you a compliment today, own it.
