30 Day Self-Esteem Challenge
Sorry for the delay. I had a bit of a family-holiday hangover. Anyway back to it then!
Day 9: Something you yourself do that make you smile. Why?
I make myself laugh. That’s sounds really lonely, huh? But really, I’ve learned to enjoy my own company. It’s nice to go eat by myself or go to a movie or just to sit and enjoy readying/knitting/painting/etc.

Day 1: A facial feature you like on yourself.
I like my nose. It’s a nice shape and size. I like how expressive my nose it, how my nostrils flare when I make faces.
30 Day Self-Esteem Challenge Day 30 - Are you happy with yourself?
Overall, yes. I have a great family, fantastic friends, I’m healthy, I have a job that pays my bills and spend a little frivolously...Things are good. ^_^ Are there some things I would change? Definitely. But the positives in my life outweigh the negatives and I know that the changes I would make take time. I’ll keep working at it, but I’m happy as I am. What more could I ask for?? :)
30 Day Self-Esteem Challenge Day 28 - Do you feel good about yourself today? Why or why not?
I do! I’m having a pretty good day! :D Tuesday and yesterday were a bit stressful, but today’s going great. I decided to sleep in a bit before getting ready for work, listened to some upbeat music that put me in a great mood (dancing in my car with absolutely no shame), and am just overall feeling cool and confident. ^_^

Day 27 - Do you often accept compliments? If not, why?
Yes I do! When someone compliments me, it tells me that I made a small impression on someone - maybe my cute outfit or nice hair clip or whatever gave them something to smile about. I definitely accept compliments!
I feel like I should add that I haven’t been on the receiving end of - for lack of a better term - shady compliments, at least that I can recall. I know some people, especially women, get harassed under the guise of a “compliment” and that’s wrong. As the eternal optimist that I am, I hope there comes a day where everyone can give and receive compliments with no ulterior motives behind them. Support others: We’re just trying to make our own way through life. :)
30 Day Self-Esteem Challenge Day 26 - What is your favorite compliment to give and receive, and why?
How does one have a favorite compliment they give?? xD I’m gonna cheap out here and say I love giving all kinds of compliments - I don’t have a favorite.
My favorite compliments towards me have been about my work. I’m still in that stage of “this is my first “big girl” job” so I feel the pressure (mostly from myself, I’m sure) to constantly prove I’m...worth it. Like, I don’t want my boss/co-workers to think I’m not pulling my weight around here. I’m going on three years with the company, but as the only female in my department I have the strong desire to continually prove myself. Hopefully, when I’m ready to move on (maybe soon-ish, actually), there will be a lot of people in my corner saying, “Hey! Ya’ll would be stupid not to hire this gal right here!” :)
30 Day Self-Esteem Challenge Day 25 - Do you often compliment other people?
YES! So much yes! I stop strangers in the store or whatever to tell them I love their hair, outfit, tattoos, perfume/cologne, purse/bag, etc! Even if it’s something small I try to tell them. I usually preface it with, “Sorry, don’t mean to be creepy or anything, but I love your ___.” ya know, just in case.
Compliments are free to give and I think everyone can use a bit of positivity. :)
30 Day Self-Esteem Challenge Day 24 - What is your definition of “beautiful?”
Okay, this is gonna be cliche as hell. xD
Beauty is such a multi-dimensional idea. There’s physical beauty, obviously; getting lost in someone’s eyes, someone’s amazing smile, etc. There’s intangible beauty; traits like kindness, caring, passionate, etc. There’s visual beauty; something/someone just pleasing to the eye. There’s beauty in art; music, poetry, paintings/drawings, etc. And everyone sees beauty differently. :)
Does this even answer the prompt, I don’t know. xD
