They say to be copied is the highest form of flattery. So Lily I’m totally copying you! (go visit her blog and say hi, she is FABULOUS)
Lily had this great post about being worth it and how we take ourselves for granted.
L’Oreal had it right when they coined the slogan because I’m worth it, but why is that so hard to grasp?
Why am I holding onto the things that aren’t worth it and thus missing out on the things that actually are? In an effort to nix bad behavior and negative thought processes, I made a bunch of little promises to myself this afternoon because the amount of time I’m absolutely wasting worrying about things beyond my control is no longer acceptable.

So I think it’s in order today to pay myself some much needed respect. I promise:
I…
…will travel more
…will seriously consider the 20sb meet-up in June and won’t let C talk me out of it if I can afford it
…will confront my friends who share my secrets behind my back, it would have been much better if you just asked me yourself
…will stop worrying about the past and future and live in the now (cuz you know tomorrow is not promised)
…will not compare myself to other girls
…will stop fantasizing about what-if
…will love those around me fully and remind myself of the reasons why I love them
…will embrace being 5’3 instead of 5’9 and how I hate wearing heels
…will stop obessing over things I can’t control (again copying Lily hehe)
Because I’m worth it!

those are all good ones! I like it
Good for you!! I think everyone needs to remind themselves of this every once in a while!
I KNOW I’m worth it, but sometimes it’s easy to forget that…. Once I start reminding myself more and more, I always feel better =)
That sounds like a great list of things to promise yourself! This list made me smile!!! You go girlie!
eeeeeeeeee I just want to SQUEEEEEEEEZE you! first of all, thank you sooooo much for all the love!
you are so fantastic and I absolutely LOVE tweeting, blogging, emailing, and chatting with you!!! 
Second, I HOPE YOU CAN MAKE THE MEETUP!!! I’m trying to talk EP into it and then at least the three of us can room together because I don’t have that figured out / set up yet! And I think I am going to print my list and your list out and tape them to my mirror or something, because these are all so very true and powerful statements and I can’t wait to see them finally really resonate as we take control of our lives and become what we were truly meant to. I <3 YOU!!! 
You ARE worth it! I’m loving this and need to do one of these for myself, as well.
It’s so easy to get lost in the things that we can’t control isn’t it? This is a great way to remind us of it Ria. (And Lily Speak)
I should do this. Even if I just carry it around in my handbag.
I’m a major proponent of making new resolutions every month or week, as opposed to once a year. I like all of these, since they all sound feasible and don’t include phrases like “lose twenty pounds” and “read War & Peace“. Not that I have any beef with Tolstoy…
agreed! this is such a fantastic saying!!!
i think i’ll make it my new motivational quote to get my bum in gear for working out
You are sooooooo worth it! Good for you. It’s just being positive! Great idea!
