Positive words about me

The way I share my view of myself has two sides.

I have quite self-depreciating humor sometimes. I have learnt that this can have two main negative affects. Firstly, if you say it often enough you will start to believe it yourself. Secondly, if you say it often enough, other people will start to believe it.


The other side of me talks myself up in a joking way that would have you believe that I might not really think that about myself. Sometimes I do but sometimes I don't.

While researching a little project I had going today where I would honestly complement anyone who desired it (just by liking my post on Facebook) I came across an article at The Hub that lead me to think...

What's good about me?

Using the list provided on the link to help me start (okay, I didn't really need that much help) I tried came up with a list of 10 positive words that describe me most of the time. As you can see by my list, once I started I was having so much fun I found it difficult to stop, but I think I covered most of the things I like about myself. They are:

Loving
Intelligent
Creative
Outgoing
Sincere
Ordered *
Emotional
Honest
Assertive
Cheerful
Understanding
Accepting
Communicative
Strong
Intuitive
Adaptable

I'm fighting the desire I have to justify my choice in words just in case you think you know me and don't agree. I don't know if that's a good thing. Either way, this is what I truly believe I am.

So here's my wish... that each of you that read this post will choose at least 5 positive words to share with us about yourselves. If you aren't in a place where you can share that in this forum, please, feel free to do it anonymously... but for your own sake and as an example to others
- DO IT-
and love yourself.

*as in I like to have things in order(?)

  2. I'm totally on this band wagon! Spiritual, generous, compassionate, sensitive, thoughtful, open, emotional, passionate, creative, and loving. So hard to narrow it to just ten that describe all that is you.
