It can be easy to focus on the things you don’t like about yourself. Especially if you’re feeling sad or insecure. You may dwell on them and think there’s nothing good about you.

But that’s definitely not true!

Need some help discovering the good stuff about you?

Ask yourself these questions:

• How might my friends/boyfriend/girlfriend/parents describe me?
• What are some of my achievements?
• What are some challenges I have overcome?
• What do others say they like about me?
• What are some skills or talents that I have?
• What negative qualities do I not have?

Still struggling?

Take a look at these words and pick the ones that feel the most like you:

considerate, good listener, diligent, good cook, reliable, funny, fun, helpful, healthy, proud, resourceful, loved, a good friend, smart, animal lover, kind, active, creative, talented, strong, responsible, determined, organised, friendly, gentle, a leader, financially responsible.

You’re with you for life. So treat yourself like you would your best friends. Keep your list of your answers and chosen words close for whenever you’re feeling bad.
