This challenge was posted on another site I belong to, and I've decided I'm going to try it, even though it makes me very uncomfortable.

The idea is, when you first wake up in the morning, and look at yourself in the mirror for the first time, to look yourself in the eyes, and say "I love you." out loud. The idea is to do it every day for a year.

The thought of doing it, right now, makes me want to cry, which tells me I probably really need to do it.

Anyone want to join me? We could post updates on how it's going.

i have heard this so many times over the years and first thought, "this wont be a problem for me to do anymore" then i imagined myself doing it and it felt sort of uncomfortable, so maybe not so easy......i will have to try it.....good luck

Great idea! I'm in. I really want to work on my self esteem. Maybe we can come up with a list of things we love about ourselves too. Like for me one thing I really love is the color of my eyes.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
