An exercise for myself

[zoehlln]

I can think of a thousand things I dislike about myself - I'm not pretty, talented or clever enough to make up for the lack of the previous two. So I thought, one week on from my meltdown last week, I would try and make a list of things that are - if not 'good' - ok about me, especially trying to focus on things I have been complimented on.

- I have been told that I come across as clever (even if I don'y believe it, and personally, I feel I sound like an idiot)
- I have been complimented for my weightloss
- my time management
- my fashion sense
- my nails
- my calves which are nicely toned
- when I used to write fiction, I've had nice comments about it. I just don't do it anymore, though I hope too on these Wednesday posts. At least I am actually writing again.
- I try my hardest to be nice to people, even when I feel really bad about myself and like I can't help anyone. Least of all myself.
- I am a diligent student
- I've started to take myself out more often, but I need to expand it
- I enjoy arts and crafts, when I do it, and in the past people have enjoyed the things I make for them, even if they're not perfect.

I wonder if I should start setting myself challenges for the week? Or month? Like to go to a social or something. There's a social for a society I'm in that is running Friday evening, maybe I should go? But I don't know anyone and my friend won't be around. I don't know.

I just wish I was good at something, I never feel like I'm good at anything.
