#AskSwell | What Do You Love About You?

And it saddened me, in a sense, because I'm like, wow, I'm sitting here myself struggling to try to find five things I love about myself, because every day I look in the mirror, I focus on everything about myself that I don't like. Whether it's my weight, whether it's my thighs, whether it's at the time my teeth, whether it is my hair not doing right today, gosh, the size of my nose. Why are my feet so big?

And this exercise here in Israel helps me to get out of myself a little bit. So I never seen myself, like, as someone who and this is another thing, I don't like mirrors. I don't like to look at myself at the mirror until now. So it's a lot of criticism about many things that I don't want to name here. And I raised five children for 16 years as a single father. Now they are grown, they are living independently

I love my smile. I love my hair. I I love yeah, I'll just say those right now. I love my laughter and I love my smile and I love my hair. Yeah

And I'll even put dabs of fragrance before I go to bed because nothing worse to me than like a Fanky bedroom. You go knock on somebody's door, wake up the kids and they'd be like, your room stink. I don't ever want that to be me. So I like that I am conscientious of cleanliness and smelling good and being a carrier, glory carrier, and bringing that fragrance with me wherever I go. So thanks for this question

You. So I love this question that gives me a lot to think about and I can only pick one thing. So I have been in retreats and perhaps talks about loving ourselves and things that we should point out about ourselves that we like in order to promote self love, self healing. So in the past it has been very difficult for me to figure out what it is that I like about myself

I'll be overly critical, and I will nitpick at everything and leave the playback feeling worse than I did before I went in there. I just went to look. But now I'm seeing all these things I did wrong or should have did different or shouldn't have done it all, and I'll start to feel some kind of way about myself and the things that I loved about myself, I'll start to criticize. And so, yeah, I have to be very mindful of that

And it's not because what I'm talking about is funny, it's just a nervous laughter sometimes, I think. But yeah, I do love the fact that I have a good sense of humor and that I don't take everything so seriously, because life isn't that serious. There's a time when we need to be serious, and then there's a time when we can cut up

I need to sweep. But yeah, I totally get that. I'm very particular about that kind of stuff too. Very particular about how I smell. I get self conscious. I always make sure I have deodorant. I keep deodorant with me because I don't ever want to leave the house. Sometimes I'm rushing. I don't want to ever leave the house without deodorant. So I'm very particular about that. Very particular about deodorant

And I think that's great when you get to a place where you love yourself enough to be able to eat easily, list things about yourself that you love without any hesitation. So thank you so much, SIS. I really appreciate that

Maybe I got it wrong because it seems like I love my laugh, but other people don't. I love my loud voice, but other people don't. I love the fact that I'm talkative and chatty, but other people don't. And so when you have other people that seem to not like the things that you thought were great about you, it can change the way you see yourself. And so I'm glad you are making up for lost time by being extra
