So trendy!!!

So there was a trendy little thing going around on YouTube a couple of weeks ago that I thought I'd try my hand out now.

Because I'm a thief and unoriginal and a good idea is a good idea whether or not it's mine... #shameless

Anywhoo, here's the idea. We (and when I say we I'm using the GODLY 'we'. As in you-me-everyone) don't tend celebrate the things we're good at. We mostly just focus on where we fall short.

Well, screw that!! It's time we give some due to the things that we can do really well and that we're proud we can do too.

Thing 1). I'm a BOSS at checking things off of a to-do list. I'm kinda really super proud of my ability to get-shit-done. Give me a bunch of tasks you can rest assured that stuff’s going to get done. Not to mention, I’m really good at fighting off the procrastination monster. I know that’s a thing a lot of people struggle with and it causes them TONS of necessary stress. But thankfully it’s something outgrew once I hit college.

Thing 2). I am like, really really good at doing a Google search. I can track all KINDS of shit down. Comes in super handy, let me tell you. Need to know something insanely obscure or off the wall??? Then I’m your girl!!!

Thing 3). I like to think I’m pretty damn patient. I mean, I’m no saint. I won’t claim to have unlimited amounts of patience. But I don’t get too bothered waiting on others or just having to wait for things in general. I’ve always kinda loved the anticipation process anyway. That’s a big part of the fun!!!

Thing 4). Guess who’s amazing at NOT spending money???  THIS GIRL!!! Cheep is such a dirty word but there should be nothing wrong with thrifty! And I think of myself as a very thrifty person. I mean, why spend money when you don’t have to?? It’s just stupid. Plus, the more you save, the more you can spend on things you really love.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to do this list because I know it sounds a kind of boastful talking about the things you think you're really good at.

But then I thought HELL WITH THAT!!! That's what this list is for. Boosting you're self esteem and remembering that after applying yourself, you can get to the good stuff. You can feel proud of the things (simple or large) that you're good at.

And maybe you can think about the things you're good at too. It's important to reflect on that on occasion.
