Mindfulness Daily Check-In August 10, 2018
Happy Friday beautiful people 
, it's time to give ourselves some compliments!
The Three Compliments Journal
For quite some time the picture I had about myself was not a helpful picture. My good qualities never showed up when I was thinking about my person, instead I was a succuessful collector of flaws. 
After time of self-inflicted suffering I started to tell myself look, you did that well and my self-esteem slowly started to increase.
Below is an exercise called "The three compliments journal"
When you wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and then grab a pen and a journal and give yourself 3 compliments, then go and write them down in a journal.
It can be anything, maybe a compliment for having left the bed, maybe your body or the shape of your mouth or nose, anything that makes you feel good about yourself.
After having written them down, read the 3 compliments aloud in front of the mirror and congratulate yourself.
How did it feel complimenting yourself?
Do you give yourself compliments?

@amiablePeace77
How did it feel complimenting yourself? It feels wonderful. I feel better about myself.
What areas do you compliment (appearance, performance, what you say to people, your ideas?)? I usually go big on performance because I am a very persistent person that keeps moving toward goals and maintaining routines.
Anything to add? Great idea. And while complimenting ourselves how about complimenting people that are not on our fan clubs. Complimenting them can help us go beyond our limited thoughts of them.
@soulsings
I do like in particular your idea about complimenting those "who are not in our fan club". I made it a routine for me that whenever I go out I will compliment people I do not know (people I interact with), by that they might be encouraged to do the same.
Thanks for bringing this helpful idea up.
@amiablePeace77 yes that seems to help make me more open minded even if I am just saying it to myself.
@amiablePeace77
HI Peace thank you so much for this great check in
It got me to really slow down reading and go hmmmmm-
How did it feel complimenting yourself?
I just do it-without meaning
Guess Im not being mindfull
It is hard at times to do 3, but well I think just doing it eventually the feelings will come
Do you give yourself compliments?
I am starting to

@RumpleSteeleSkin
Hey Rumple, nice to see you . True, at times it's kind of hard to find a reason to compliment ourselves, but I find there is always one thing, namely we started the day and that can be an accomplishment already.
Good information
I have never complimented myself and struggle when I get one from someone else.
Going to give this a shot
@scarletPear1945
Scarlet, thanks for checking in. When I was younger I felt uncomfortable when getting compliments too because I thought I was not worth it. When my self-esteem increased I started to appreciate them. I hope you will appreciate them too soon, the ones coming from yourself and from others - YOU DESERVE THEM
@amiablePeace77
Thanks so much
How did it feel complimenting yourself?
It always feels great giving oneself a compliment. Self-appreciation is desperately needed
Do you give yourself compliments?
Yes, I do. Every day
Anything to add?
I really need to focus more on self-compassion and finding the positive about my behavior
@AborealGiggle13
Hi Giggle, a compliment every day - you are doing an awesome job! Showing compassion to yourself is not necessarily what we all learn from young age but it's never too late to start.
@amiablePeace77 Hi Peace! How are you doing today? I hope you had a wonderful Friday! I really loved this as I struggle to be nice with myself and tend to have a poor perception of myself, and so this was quite uplifting. Thank you!
How did it feel complimenting yourself?
It felt so uplifting. I felt joy as I usually do not shower myself with such love.
Do you give yourself compliments?
Sadly, I do not give compliments to myself at all.
Anything to add?
I loved this exercise, so thank you so much for this, Peace!
@SaimaK
SaimaK, hi
It's much easier to see the good qualities in other people than in ourselves, most of us are used to compliment others but some of us never self-complimented. Glad you did the exercise and hope it will encourage you to compliment yourself much more.
@amiablePeace77 You are so right, Peace! Thank you so much for this! I will continue to use this exercise, and I hope it will help me immensely as time progresses (I believe that it will!).
