100 positive things

I ran into an interesting challenge the other day, that I decided to take on.

The idea was: write a list of 100 positive things about myself. 

Took me about 2 weeks to finish the 100 items. It was quite interesting to see that #1 took a while. I was staring at the paper, not knowing what to write. I wrote down #1 (I smile a lot). I stared at it for a while, laughed a little, and kept going. Number 7, 8 , 9.... the list was growing and the positive things were flying in my head and into the paper. But, as I approached #30.... Things started getting harder. The higher the number, the more I wanted to write some random BS that wasn't really positive. But I am proud to say that I didn't.

I have just finished my list. 

What did I learn? Well, It felt really good to write 100 positive things about myself. I started to appreciate myself more and more, instead of being ashamed of saying "yes, I am good at this". There is a big difference between being conceded and appreciating what I am good at. 

I am very happy that I completed this list, and I would definitely encourage everyone to try it as well.

Beijos!
