So, since I’ve actually been trying to respond to emails instead of being a shy-away-from-comments-blogger (which I do tend to be- I’m much more of a post-and-hopefully-people-like-it-then-run-away type), and I was asked if I would participate in Self-Esteem Awareness Month. It’s basically a project (here’s the very short and simple guidelines page) that spans a whole month which purpose is to boost self esteem- every day for the month of August there’s a little goal/activity to do. Instead of me blathering on about it everyone really just go check it out. (I was going to post about this yesterday, but I slept over at a friends and got home only to go to work soon afterwords so I didn’t really get a chance.) I looked through all of the activities and they seem really good, so I’d definitely encourage anyone to participate as well (on their blog or just at home)… Even though I feel like sometimes I don’t need to do go through these type of exercises again, I’ll make a post like I did a few days ago and realize that I need to keep reminding myself.

Soooo, without further ado:

August 1st – Lets start this all of with a simple exercise that has been suggested on this blog before; write a list of at least five things about yourself that you love and tuck that list away somewhere for the next time you’re feeling down. I tend to make a new list/add to an old one every week or so – its a really quick & easy self-esteem boost.

Okay, five things that I love about myself:

1.) My eyes, my wild curly hair, my lips
2.) How I love to laugh at everything
3.) My thighs
4.) My smile
5.) My love of drawing and creating

This list was actually hard to make… I wasn’t sure if I should write down physical things about myself that I love, or anything about myself. So I tried to go for both. Maybe I’m just really bad at making lists lol.

So anyway, I feel like this will be a fun project- I’ll try to keep up with it the best that I can. (At least now I’ll have something to blog about every day )
