Thursday Thought: Something I Like About Me Is...

Before we say family prayers each night, everyone goes around the circle and says something they like or appreciate about the person who is going to say the prayer. The person saying the prayer also says something they like or appreciate about themselves. It’s so nice at the end of a day that you feel like was full of mistakes to say to yourself, “Something I like about me is… ” Remember, there are no thought police, so you can say whatever you want at the end of that sentence. What do you want to be true? Can you find any evidence for it? If you just yelled at your spouse, can you still say, “Something I like about me is I’m kind to my spouse,“? Totally. Find evidence of the times that you are kind to your spouse. Have you ever been kind to him/her? Think about it. Ponder on that. How much easier is it to apologize when you realize that you’re not a monster, you just behaved in a way that you didn’t like, but you don’t always behave that way? When you love yourself, you can love others so much more! So love yourself on purpose.
