Ever hear of the sandwich method, where you acknowledge an issue but wrap it with positivity?
So often it's easy to dislike or complain about stuff we don't like about ourselves, but forget to remember the good.
What is something you like about yourself?
What is something you dislike or want to change?
What is one more thing you like about yourself?

Dislike- how my curls only start from mid shaft to ends- because of that I get no volume at the roots
Like- my arch...ah Idk how to describe it4 -

And if you're creative, then you find unique and efficient ways to be lazy and voila! Happiness.2 -
Like: I give everyone a chance. Clowns, racists, mailmen. Every gets a chance with me. Open your heart and listen, people!
Dislike: I'm way too utopic. I can spend hours wondering why I need to buy health insurance. It doesn't make any sense to me.
Like: I can squeeze through really tight spaces. I often fantasize of a robber with a machine gun barging into my home just so I can crawl out of the bathroom window and escape in silk pajamas.

This 🙌 Basically describing me.2 -
Like: I am empathetic. Crazy so, and as a result often give everyone the benefit of the doubt.
Don't like: I am very hard on myself. It's like all the empathy I give to others leaves no room for me.
Like: I am driven to push forward.5 -

They often do, although I do see my tendency to be lazy and procrastinate as negative character traits. Like, putting off getting in shape doesn't really lend itself to creative avenues to be efficient. At some point, for me now...I just have to deal with it head on.
It's helped me before with technical pursuits, though. Like, if something is so routine and laborious I will feel lazy and want to see if I can figure out how to create a tool to help.
I have plenty of other negative character traits as well, but I do feel happy about my creativity with visual arts and music to a degree. I find myself working on those areas when I'm feeling anxious or down, too...at least there's an area or two where I can feel competent when other things are in disarray.2 -

Being empathetic is a wonderful trait, imo. As the way I see things, we are basically one another just in different shoes and on a different path. It may lead to your being taken advantage of from time to time, but it's better for being connected which is just a better way to live I think. People get burned in life and it often burns off their empathy.
Happy New Year!2 -
I like my lips
I dislike my self doubt
I like my sense of wonder3 -
Like : That I have a heart that can be kind at times , believes in sharing at times
Hate : My body and the that I am not always focused, procrastinating about things I know deep down I should but I don't always
One more thing I like: can't think more unfortunately3 -
Like my kind heart
Would like to change how I rush and stress myself out and just slow down and relax while getting stuff done (to the same end but better.)
Like how Im getting fitter and stronger and very slowly making good changes

I work in IT. My laziness has resulted in some pretty awesome automation scripts. Lol
I do get anxiety about the things I feel I SHOULD do, but just... Don't.3 -

I feel this way too. I often say that empathy is my super power. But it's also my kryptonite. I wouldn't change it though. It makes me who I am. ❤️2 -

@FatToFitChaser This makes me sad. I'd like you to try to come up with one more like. Maybe it's the fact that you're here and showing up. That you're trying. That you haven't quit.
Sometimes it's hard to see the good in our lives, but it means you need to look harder. It's there. I'm sure of it. *hugs*2 -
Like: I like that I feel strong. That I can lift stuff that is heavy and do things that I never thought I could.
Don't like: I don't like that I often minimize my own personal successes because someone out there can do more than I can.
Like: that I am setting an example for my kids and that they are proud of me for the things I CAN do in my gym. (I've even overheard them tell friends about how strong they think I am and that makes me feel... Special somehow)4 -

Like: The ability to be creative in multiple things.
Dislike: Depression (plaguing me more recently than it has in a couple of years)
Like: The ability to give people a chance, regardless of how different we might be.4
