For Self Love Month with The Thrive Collective, we were tasked by Elle and Ella to write a list of 100 things that we love about ourselves. My first thought was, “Dang!!! 100?! That’s going to take forever!!” I didn’t think I’d be able to come up with that many. But I did it!! I did it!!! ◡̈

Have you even written a list like this?
The exercise was an interesting one for me… I would go through spurts of having heaps of things and then get stuck for a while, but then think of more. It definitely wasn’t me writing non-stop for the whole list. I had to pause (sometimes for quite a long time) to come up with more reasons. I highly suggest writing a list of your own!!
