Day Two: Thirty-one Days of Positive Thinking

A self-love note a day helps keep
the mental health at bay.

You would be surprised what a
little note can do. For example, think back to when you (or someone you know) had
a packed lunch from your mum or dad and there was a lovely little note from
them that had some way of expressing “I love you” on it. Think to how that made
you or your friend feel. I’m sure it was embarrassing getting a mushy note, but
it also made you smile because you knew that they cared and loved you.

Just imagine of how that would
make you feel if it was you leaving yourself little love notes. You would
probably feel really good about yourself. Well that’s exactly what I’m doing
this month. Everyday this month, in addition to my several goals for the month.
I am putting a sticky note on my wall with a little note from me to me.

You are probably thinking “Well
that easy enough. Thirty-one notes with something nice written on them is no
problem!” but stop for a second and list ten things you love about yourself.

Now list of ten things you would
gladly change if you had the chance. Which list was easier for you to make?

Just like most people, I struggle
with thinking positively about all sorts of things, especially body image. With
the way society is, we all try to look and act a certain way. It messes with
our thoughts so we think we are never good enough. We start to think that we
aren’t skinny enough to wear that dress, we aren’t fit enough to catch that
person’s eye, we aren’t smart enough to pass that class. It can be so hard to
overcome such a mindset but little by little and a whole lot of effort,
switching our thoughts to be positive can make a huge impact on our outlook on
everything.

So if you, too, are up for the
self-love note challenge. Go for it! I will save mine throughout the month as a
reminder that no matter what society says, I know that I am always going to be pretty
damn great.

Today’s sticky note: “You are a
sunflower in a field of roses!” inspired by Sierra
Burgess is a Loser.

Go on and love yourself!
