Name Three Good Things About Yourself
I was listening to public radio yesterday and the host was talking about how people have been conditioned not to think well of themselves. Most will readily name all the faults they have, but have to be coerced into naming any good qualities they have. So, the exercise was; Name three things good about yourself.
Please do. I think it would be a worthy exercise in acknowledging positive things about ourselves without feeling like we are bragging.
Just name them with no justification or explanation. I think it would be interesting to read and very cathartic.
I am:
Brave
Strong
Compassionate

I was a mathematician and computer software contractor for years and had to present myself in the best light. My only concern was that I might begin to believe half the personal good things that I claimed. :-)

I'd like to offer this, if I may, maybe from a slightly different viewpoint. :)
- I rescue all living things if I can, whether large or extremely tiny.
- I drive extremely carefully. (In Ecuador, I have to!)
- I take very good care of myself physically. I feel I owe that to a lot of people out there.

Re: Name Three Good Things About Yourself
I think I'm okay. I'm beginning to like myself a little more as I get older..
- I'm very patient (might be my best quality)
- I do actually listen to people now. I'm pretty good at it. It's a skill I'm proud of. I wasn't always like that.
- I'm pretty good while under pressure.
Good thread, Val!

I don't cuss unless cussed at first.
I'm potty trained. (I always put the toilet seat down).
I'm a good example to children. (I always hear parents tell their kids: "Please, don't grow up and be like him").
