whats your problem?

ok.... a little alanon in practice people...

everyone who wishes to play gets to state one quality about themself that they absolutely hate...

the trick is.... you then have to state ten things about yourself that you like....

take the challenge...

and then... take time to realize how far we are coming.

"hugs to all"

my ten: i love my patience, my brain, my ability to grow trees, my empathy, my nose, my sense of humor, my ability to listen, my ability to enjoy simple things.... ugh.. struggling here.... ok... two more... my 4.0 GPA... and... that i taught my dog to sit. lol

Now quietsins, you know that I'm a sucker for a challenge!!!!! LOL

I hate that I hold onto old wounds.

I love...
1) that I can still feel loved from those that care about me
2) that I'm the one that keeps things lightened up with my humor at work when it's needed as a stress buster
3) that I have a touch that many claim to be comforting/healing
4) that I can raise one eyebrow in such a way that it grabs people's attention! lol
5) that I can finally bring myself to ask people for help when I need it
6) that I'm more in touch with my own feelings than I've ever been
7) that I seek understanding of things
8) that I'm getting better about not having so many angry outbursts
9) that my hair (which is thick & curly) and always so hard to manage is now one of my favorite things about myself as far as appearance goes
10) that I'm finally doing things for myself that make me happy (work in progress but doing so much better)

I hate that I can't make any major decisions that concern my personal life.

I love...
1) that I have great friends that bring out the best in me
2) that I don't take everything so seriously anymore
3) that I don't hate people
4) that I'm still seeking a Higher Power
5) that I feel better today than I did a few years ago and hope to continue on that path
6) that I've come to be more sharing with my feelings than I was - learning to express myself in a much better way
7) that I'm more positive than I used to be
8) that I am able to enjoy the beautiful things around me (such as nature)
9) that I am getting to know myself better and hope to continue doing so
10) that I like myself better than I used too.

Ya know - I have a lot of things that I dislike about myself. Definately need to keep working on this list if I want to post all the negatives.
I like this idea though quietsins. It's interesting. To want to name the bad things just makes us look further within to find the good. Too often times we forget the good or just overlook it.
It's a great practice in being more positive.
Thanks for posting this.
