luv thyself series - prompt #1

first prompt of the "luv thyself" series! there are 25 journal prompts in total that i wanted to try & will be posting daily for you to read here and on the "luv thyself" page.

you can find the prompts here: https://selflovecircle.co.uk/self-love-journal-prompts/

so, prompt #1: what are 10 things you are good at?

hmmm. this is supposed to make me feel more confident about myself, but now all of a sudden i'm insecure of my skills haha. just kidding. i have to at least try.

1. writing. i've always had a knack for writing creatively and making my thoughts flow even in research papers and speeches.

2. i would like to think i'm a good singer. i've sang since i was merely a toddler and have been in choir for the past 6 years or so. not to sound boastful, but they were top choirs of my schools at that. shout out to select women's ensemble at hillgrove high school & my girl amaya, if she sees this (alto 2's of the year woo!) shout out to gsu university singers if you're here too 😉

3. i'm relatively good at drawing. i've never been able to draw things without a reference sadly, but with practice i could. if i have a reference, i can draw a pretty close replica of what's in front of me.

4. i'm good at organizing. i NEED organization in my life. without agendas, different colors for different colored tasks, my color coded calendar, and multiple alerts/reminders, i don't know if i would have ever made it through school. planning out what i have to do for the rest of the semester and when i had to work was key, and i've been able to keep that up for a while now.

5. visions. sounds weird, but i think i am good with envisioning what i want pictures, videos, designs, etc. to look like. i usually can come up with clear design ideas with what i want my projects to look/sound/feel like. that's basically how i designed this blog. i sat down and just sketched out how i wanted each page to look.

6. fashion? hm. subjective of course, but i think i'm good at putting outfits together. i've never had a set style. one day i'm your beverly hills mom that looks loaded, and other days i look like your skater boyfriend :) i like versatility & i'm good at finding stylish things that fit my personality.

7. OH! how could i forget? expert typer here. my friends were constantly annoyed with my rapid clicks and clacks when i typed up my essays, even through phone calls. i type a solid 80-90 words per minute. very proud of it.

8. this is getting hard now 😅 i'm not really good at too many things. hm. i think i'm good at editing. i can edit photos and videos pretty well in terms of filters, different graphic designs, transitions, removing/blending backgrounds. proudest moment is still my bts esquire recreation (let me know if you would like to see that).

9. i'm good at sympathizing. i'm an empath. infp-t speaking here. i can understand almost all emotions, even if i haven't felt them. i'm the comfort friend or the friend that you can always talk to.

10. lol should this be a back-handed one? like i'm good at procrastinating? 😂 no that's counter-productive. hmm. i am good with languages. i pick up languages relatively quickly. growing up speaking vietnamese at home and english at school helped a lot.

that was so much harder than i already thought it would be. i'm not good at much, but i do appreciate the stuff i'm good at. it's helped me one way or another in life. hope you try this exercise for yourself! comment below things that you're good at :) see you next time! 💓
