Showing yourself love is the best step toward developing self-love. A good way to do that is by developing your self-appreciation. So I have an exercise to help you begin to do that.

How do you see yourself? Happy? Attractive? Pensive? Inquisitive? Tall? Smart? Write 10 nice adjectives that describe something about you. Mine are:

Happy
Intelligent
Beautiful
Sexy
Dynamic
Caring
Cheerful
Creative
Sparkling
Resourceful

Those are the first 10 that came to mind. There are many more I can think of. In my DoorMat days I would have had a hard time getting to 10. Now I could go on and on. Make your list. Then add another 10. And another so you can really begin to appreciate your good qualities. Get a few friends together and write 10 adjectives down for each other. Then share your answers. Make sure you write down all the adjectives given for you. You might be surprised by how terrific you really are!

Keep your list visible so you can read it often as a reminder. Please share your top 10 adjectives about you in the comments section!
