Sometimes we get so bogged down by our own habituated lenses that we start forgetting how great we are.

This week, I challenge you -- Be more objective AND radically accepting AND unconditionally loving to yourself by thinking more through the lens of people who support you.

Put yourself in your friend's shoes. Your future daughter's shoes (or current daughter's). Your dog's shoes.

"Why is <your first name> a catch?" If someone asked me why my friend is a catch, I'd have a hundred reasons with the most convincing tone and wouldn't shut up until she started believing me. ENDORSE YOURSELF THAT WAY. Remember how your allies see you as -- aka the only people's whose opinions matter.

How would you want your future daughter to see you as? Act this way. Be the kind of woman you'd like your daughter to like.

For me, my friends would say -- "she's smart, witty, beautiful inside and out, generous, loving, and pragmatic. She's the funny one among the friend group, and the most creative/artistic. She has a great career, an impressive education, a warm smile, a womanly figure and always has style despite dressing modestly and comfortably!"

When my daughter is in her mid-to-late twenties (aka my age now), I'd like her to describe me as someone strong, principled, warm, but always forthright, with quiet confidence, fortitude and grace. That I taught her through example how to say no, and not to settle because there is always a way to get what you want and to expect the best.

TLDR How would your friends describe you? How do you want your daughter to see you as?
