I received the above picture in a e-newsletter about journaling. The question, journal prompt, was "What is the best thing about me?" I picked up my journal for the first time in a long time and wrote. The idea is to focus on the positive traits and how we can work more on those positive traits to make us the best possible "me" we can be. I did look at both physical traits as well as character traits because we tend to look negatively at our physical body. My top 3 physical traits are my smile, my eyes and my hair. My best character traits are my sense of humour, my empathy, and creativity. I did come up with some more positive traits but I think starting with 3 is good. If I can improve on them I can make myself a better me. What are your top 3 physical and top 3 character traits that help make you the best you you can be?

Physical my eyes, my body my smile. Character, my creativity, my way to receive and entertainment my guests and my tolerance.

It's nice to see someone who is happy with their entire body. There aren't a lot of people who are.

@patgalca I know, I only have to thanks my Mom, the only thing I did was to keep it thin and healthy.

Physically I am tall, 5' 7", I am healthy....and while my hair is grey....it's the shades of grey everyone wants. Character, I am loyal, I am quick to help others and I am resilient.

You know, when I was writing this in my journal it took me everything in me not to write down things about me I don't like. Some people I shared with this said they had to think long and hard about it. I think it is an important exercise. Glad you're happy about your gray hair. I'm not sure I will be if and when mine turns gray. LOL!

@patgalca it would been much easier to write about all the things I don't like about myself and my negative character traits.

The last job I had I had to do a self-evaluation every year. I hated it. I know that a bit different than this, but I really don't want to self-evaluate myself again. At least not at this time.
