What’s Your Favorite Thing About Yourself?

What’s your favorite thing about yourself? Take a look in the mirror! Sometimes I look and I don’t like what I see because I’m having a bad hair day! At other times, I’m impressed with how I’ve been keeping myself. Do you sometimes this way too?

Perhaps you should pause and take a moment to celebrate yourself, unapologetically. Because there is something—many things, actually—that make you special, strong, and wonderfully you.

Maybe it’s your body shape—exactly as it is right now. Not the version you had five years ago or the one someone else told you to chase. Your body holds stories, and every curve, every line, every scar is part of that story.

Maybe you’re proud of a hidden talent. You can curl your tongue, balance on one leg like a flamingo, or touch your toes without bending your knees. You’re flexible in ways that surprise people—or maybe just yourself. That’s joy. That’s skill. That’s yours.

And let’s not forget the quiet triumphs, the kind that don’t show up in headlines or social media posts. You recovered from that awful cold. You got through that migraine. You made it out of bed on a day when it felt impossible. You did that.

You and your body—you’re a team. So thank your arms for holding the people you love. Thank your hands for every meal you’ve prepared, every word you’ve written, every button you’ve fastened. Thank your lungs for the breath you just took. Thank your feet for carrying you to where you need to go—even when it’s uphill, even when you’re tired. Especially then.

You are not a before-and-after. You are a masterpiece in motion. And you, exactly as you are right now, are worth celebrating. That’s got to be your favorite thing about yourself.

  1. It is a gentle but powerful reminder that we don’t have to wait for achievement, transformation or external validation to celebrate ourselves. Celebration begins here, now, with who we are, with what we have overcome, with what we carry within.

    A text that is not only read, but also embraced.

  2. It really takes courage to truly appreciate ourselves, especially when we’re so quick to judge and compare. Loving something about ourselves can be one of the hardest things to do, but once we start, it changes everything. Some days I absolutely hate what I see, and other days I fall in love with every part of me. This journey of self-acceptance is real and ongoing, and celebrating those small, quiet victories is what keeps us going. ❤

  3. Oooh, I love this question—it’s the kind of self-check we don’t do enough. I’d say my favorite thing is my sharp tongue and sharper intuition. I call it like I see it, whether I’m dodging tourist traps or navigating real-life drama. Keeps things real and surprisingly entertaining. 😉 Thanks for the reminder to hype ourselves up every once in a while!
