Exercise #2: your Favorite Things
write an essay detailing the things you love about yourself
When you love yourself, you walk with so much more authority and confidence. Authority and confidence are necessary for this joy journey that you’re on. When you like things about yourself, you’ll begin to confidently show yourself off more. Others around you will consequently fall in love with you as well, and your confidence will draw people in and lift people up. Everyone wins!
Your essay will consist of 3 parts:
- An opening paragraph that simply lists three things you like about yourself
- Three paragraphs describing why you like each of those things about yourself, and when you had a chance to show off those traits
- A closing paragraph to recap your main points and give some reflection
Send your essay to joykwondo@gmail.com, or simply post a summary in the comments section below. If that’s too far out of your comfort zone, then at least keep the essay for yourself in your JOYkwondo portfolio, and read it often. It’ll do wonders for your self-esteem and your general attitude towards yourself. Someday in the future, you’ll look back at the work you put into this program, and you’ll say “I did that! I actually wrote that!”. What a celebration!
