So just tonight I had this idea.

I don't know about anyone else, but I have a major problem with accepting aspects of myself at face value. That's not to say that I feel like every aspect of myself should be considered ok by default—I'm Christian. I believe in sin. But even the sinful parts of myself, and the things in me that aren't necessarily sin, but still things I consider flaws, need to be acknowledged. I can't fix it if I refuse to accept that it is there.

So I've decided to write down one random fact about myself daily. Not whether I think it's good or bad. Just the fact—whether it's an emotion I have, or an action I do instinctively, or something else entirely. Just write it down and accept that it exists.

If anyone else wants to do this, they're welcome to share here, or to write these things down privately as I plan to. It's just an idea I had that I thought maybe could benefit other people too.
