The Power Of A Woman

It’s not selfish; it’s self-respect. When you’re grateful for yourself, you stop measuring your worth only by what others say or by what you achieve, and you start valuing who you are right now.

Here’s a gentle path to practicing it:

1. Recognize your own wins — even small ones

Did you show up today despite feeling tired? That counts. Did you keep your cool in a tough conversation? That counts. Gratitude grows when you acknowledge these moments.

2. Thank your body and mind

Every day, silently thank your body for carrying you and your mind for learning, solving, and adapting.

3. Celebrate your progress, not perfection

Instead of “I’m not there yet,” try “Look how far I’ve come.”

4. Speak to yourself like a friend

Ask, “If my best friend were in my shoes, what would I thank them for?” Then say it to yourself.

5. Create a “self-gratitude” list

Write 5 things you’re thankful for about yourself — personality traits, skills, habits, or even quirks you love.

Here’s a simple self-gratitude affirmation:

“I honor who I am. I am thankful for my growth, my strength, and my unique light.”
