Have you been celebrating yourself today?
What do you love about yourself?
What do you appreciate yourself for?
Seriously, ask yourself that question.
And name the things you love about yourself.
Your laughter.
The way you solved that problem.
How you had that difficult conversation – even though your voice cracked and you felt super nervous.
Your sharp mind.
Your cooking skills + that improvised oh-my-I-need-to-do-my-grocery-shopping-but-I’ll-make-most-of-what’s-in-the-fridge-right-now yummy meal you cooked up with the left-overs you found in your fridge.
How you went to the gym today – even though you’ve been skipping gym the past week.
Your skills for organizing, for telling a story, for making complex things simple and easy-to-understand.
How you waved hi to your neighbor this morning.
Your persistence.
Your resourcefulness.
The idea you pitched in the meeting today – even though not everyone was convinced.
Your creativity.
How you sent out that really well-crafted email – even though it wasn’t perfect.
Take a minute and name 3 things.
Today.
Every day.
Say them out loud. Point them out to yourself. Name them.
So that your mind really gets to notice and see the qualities that you might so quickly be glossing over.
Or jot them down.
And before you know it, you’ll have a book full of things to love about yourself.
How cool is that?!
I want to invite you to really apply this.
Naming 3 things literally takes just 1 minute a day.
But the compounded impact on your confidence + “return on investment” are huge.
