I suggested this exercise in another forum, and thought I'd give you all an example.
The idea I came up with after dealing with an abusive relationship. When learning to like yourself.. you need to know what your positive traits are. First list talents and skills, things others compliment you on, and your moments of selfless givings and proud moments.
I have posted my list below as an example. Feel free to pinch some if they apply to YOU.
Once this list is completed, hang it where you can look at it when you're upset or lack confidence. You may not be able to find 90 things at first, as it takes time, but try for at least 20
My love,
