Finish this sentence: What I love most about myself is …
Fill in the blank, but don’t stop at just one answer. Complete the sentence above with at least three thoughtful responses, each time digging a little deeper to get at the heart of what makes you … you.
Do you love your strong sense of commitment to family, friends and community? How about your passion for excellence and extraordinary work ethic? Do you have a beautiful voice? A curious mind? A smile that lights up the room?
Don’t worry if this exercise feels a little uncomfortable. Most of us aren’t accustomed to focusing attention on ourselves. (We’re so busy thinking about others!) But this is an eye-opening way to remind ourselves of our value, build on our strengths and face each day with confidence. And it goes without saying that loving yourself is the only way to truly have loving relationships with others.
With Valentine’s Day on the calendar this month, we thought it fitting to focus on the subject of love. Joining our discussion is leading plus size blogger and publisher, Jessica Kane, who uses the platform of fashion and the power of positivity to empower women to love their bodies. See Jessica’s video message below, and be sure to check out the Links We Love for more inspiration.
