positive personality traits
Focusing on negative traits and enhancing these is
something which we people tend to do very easily. Often without noticing we
downgrade ourselves to make others feel better. For example,' you look way
prettier in that dress like I would' or 'I wish my hair was not so thin and had
a nicer colour.' This causes our own self esteem to diminish and makes you feel
less worthy. This process is totally not the best way to proceed it you want to
learn to accept yourself and love yourself. Instead of highlighting your flaws
you should focus in all your positive character traits. This might seem very
'selfish' and not natural in the beginning but it is an exercise you need to
get used to. After all we are all equals but we all have our strong and weak
points. This exercise is not hard at all and takes and minutes every morning
but will make a huge difference if you are persistent.
Grab a sticky note and take some time to think of
5 good character traits you identify yourself with. This can be many things
like sportive, creative, a good listener, a talented singer, honest, caring,
intelligent, etc.
Once you have written down these abilities stick
the note somewhere you walk across every morning during your sadly
routine, preferably a mirror. While getting ready during the mornings allow
yourself 5 minutes to pause and name these traits to yourself and why they suit
you. Don't be hasty and quit after a few days. It takes time and effort.
Once you have trained these particular strong
points to your liking you can switch them up for 5 new ones or simple keep your
routine and add some extra.
