This weekend I attended a Hearts at Home conference with some friends. I had an amazing time. If I think about it and find time I will post more about it. But for now I will say, if you have the chance to attend any of the conferences you should definitely do so.
One of the workshops I attended was called "One Size Does Not Fit All" (loved it!) The woman doing the workshop said everyone should have an affirmation file. In the file you should have a list of your good qualities, a list of what you're blessed with, compliments you may receive from others, and notes/poems/verses/writings that inspire you. You should file these things away and when needed take them out and read them.
Here is the narcissistic part; As most people know I don't have very high self-esteem or self-confidence. I need to make my list of my good qualities, but I'm not sure what they are. So, if anyone can help me with this list I would appreciate it. However, I don't want anything for the list left as a comment, I get embarrassed easily and then I feel even more self-conscience. If you would like to help me with this you can email more or send me a Facebook message.
I would not be asking for help with this, except I know I need to change the way I view myself. I feel I really need to have this "affirmation file" and I'm not sure how to begin.
So there you have it, I'm putting myself out there. I'm making myself vulnerable (sort of).
I totally agree. When I worked at the elementary school we each got positive comments from the other staff members and I remember reading them many times. It always gave me a lift. I'll help you later with your file.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that you felt this way about yourself! I think you are awesome. Besides being one of the very best moms that I know, you have a huge heart and so many other admirable qualities! I am so glad to be able to call you "Sister"! -Hugs!-
