Positive Patty

in Motivation and Support
Since I was about 11, that age when you really understand the whole "fat vs thin" thing, I have had self esteem issues. I have gotten in the habit of constantly thinking negative thoughts, and really putting myself down. I never thought anything of this habit, it was just how I interacted with myself, but recently I heard my 15 year old sister (who is simply stunning) talk about herself in a negative light, and this bothered me immensely. Then I realized that she has witnessed this type of mentality from myself and my mom all her life. That's when I decided: I need to change how I treat myself. Whether I am where I want to be with my fitness or not, there are some wonderful things about me.

So I decided I wanted to start a thread on here. No matter if you are a work in progress, someone who reached their goal, or anything, I am hoping that everyone will write something positive bout THEMSELVES. This is not a post to complement the person above you, I want you to say something you feel positive about, COMPLEMENT YOURSELF. Today we start being out own cheerleaders and strive to see ourselves how others do.

I'll go first:

I have a great personality: I am bubbly, mostly positive, supportive, and genuine.

    I think this is a great idea! Here goes!

    I am a very accomplished musician - teacher, singer, oboe player, voice lesson instructor, youth worship choir leader and the list goes on. I love music and when I am using my gifts as a musician I feel whole. Music is my passion and glue that holds my life together.

    I flourish when other people are frayed and stressed and panicking. When people start to freak out, I turn into Ultra Cool Christine and talk everyone down.

    I am and always will be stoic, for without this trait I am just a sheep among wolves.

    I always search for the best in people
    I have a rare intelligence which connects things that at first seem totally unconnected
    I am amazing with metaphors

    When I see my daughter or wife happy I am happy and that is all I need.

    I am able to see the beauty and simplicity of nature and art

    I have a 14 year old sister who taught me to think positively because of her negativity. I see it in my mom, which explains where it creeps in. She is beautiful, a very talented artist, and athletic.

    I am strong, dependable and a great friend.

    I'm bumping this again…I think everyone needs to say something nice about themselves.

    Here's another one: I have very unique eyes.

    LOVE this thread. it is in line with my new "diet" and trying to cut out negative thinking more than on my behavior.

    Physically, I like my smile, personally, I am thoughtful, witty, and down to earth.

    feel free to add me as a friend : )

    oh yeah, I was also my mom's favorite, ha ha :wink:
