Whilst scrolling through social media, I came across a post questioning: 'what do you love about yourself' and it led me to really delve deep into my thoughts and emotions and begin to compile a list of things I really do love about myself.
Loving yourself is just as, if not more important than giving/receiving love, and it can really help to stimulate brain function, which is why I've dedicated time to love myself and my attributes which make me the person I am.
Firstly, I love that I'm confident, both on the rugby pitch and in life situations. I never fear to make my call and determine the play on the field, and similarly if I see something I don't agree with, I'm confident enough to make a stand and speak my thoughts. That's something I know so many people don't have the courage to do, and so I truly treasure it in all scenarios. Sure, it might get me in trouble sometimes because I'm fighting for something I really believe in, but it works out in the end.
I love that I have passion for rugby, my advocacy for women's sports and the passion that I have for anything I believe in is outstanding, which is something else I love about myself. I never realised I had such a positive impact on other people's lives until a week or so ago where I had a conversation suggesting that I'd helped someone become confident enough to try rugby for the first time, and this really showed me that what I'm doing for women's sports is working and this is why I love my passion for the things I have faith in.
Finally, I love my determination to succeed in what I want to do in life, with my main focus being a professional rugby player. The amount of hours I spend in the gym, practicing my kicks and passing, reading about rugby and watching the game to develop such knowledge that sometimes can't be matched by my teammates, but that isn't to be spiteful, but rather develop my own game and just be the person I've always wanted to be.
Obviously, I love so many things about myself, but I can't list them all in this short blog post (you'd probably get bored by the end of it). Instead, I listed three of my favourite things about myself which I love.
So many people don't like to open up about the things they love about themselves (including myself sometimes) and so I'm challenging you to question what you love about yourself.
What do you love most about who you are?
