\nYesterday, as a part of Secret Santa celebrations, my colleague was asked to boast about himself. All he said was what he liked about himself. We live in a society where talking what we like about ourselves comes under boasting.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nI agree that it is not a good practise to talk about yourself all the time but it is a good thing to know what you like about yourself.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Why should you know what you like about yourself?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/em>
\n1.Builds self-confidence<\/b>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nThe more the things you like about yourself, the more confident you become. The same has been suggested in a course on building self-confidence.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\n2.Improves self-awareness<\/b>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nWhen you know what are your best qualities, you have a lead in the game of life. You know how to play the game to your strengths while staying away from your dislikes.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\n3.Helps in becoming a better person<\/b>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nWhile trying to find what you like about yourself, you will encounter 100 things you will want to love about yourself. You can make a list of that and slowly turn that list into what you like about yourself.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\n4.Helps to come out of self-loathing<\/b>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nWhen you are drowning in negativity, just open this list. It shows you why you are not bad. It will give you reasons for why you should love yourself.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\n5.Exercises your brain<\/b>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nWhen you create this list, you will think about yourself from various angles. This gives a good exercise to your brain. <\/span>
\n 
\n <\/p>\n

How to figure out what you like about yourself?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/em>
\n1.Daily list<\/b>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nIn the month of November<\/a>, I did an exercise to write one thing good about me daily. This was a kind of self-gratitude<\/a> and also gave me a list to bank on. But the downside of this exercise is that not all things you make a note in it are the good things about you. May be once a quarter you can pick up the things which really define you and save it as a master list. For the remaining things, you can work on them to make them a part of who you are.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\n2.One time list<\/b>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nToday, in my 10 things a day<\/a> exercise, I wrote down 10 things which I like about myself. This exercise made me feel good about myself. It gave me an identity of who I am.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

What can you like about yourself?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/em>
\n1.Physical aspects<\/b>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nWhat do you like about your body? What are some of the best material things you possess?<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\n2.Interpersonal aspects<\/b>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nWhat do you like about how you deal with people?<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\n3.Intrapersonal aspects<\/b>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nWhat qualities of you help you?<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\n4.Skill set<\/b>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nWhat skills of you are you proud of?<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\n5.Compliments<\/b>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nWhat others like about you, might not be the same you like about yourself. But if they are same, you can include them also in this list.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nIf you keep pondering, I am sure you will come with an amazing list.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nShare with us what you like about yourself in the comments section.<\/span>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nHappy loving yourself!<\/span>
