Writing prompt--- What makes you YOU?

Today I'm going to try something a little bit different. Instead of me sharing with you my take upon the world, I want you to take some time to think for yourself and practice all those lovely skills your high school English teacher taught you only a few years ago( 'cause you're only 22 right now, correct?). You'll need a few things before you begin, though:

Supplies: a cup of chamomile tea or decaf coffee, a pair of your coziest pajamas, a soft blanket, a pen or pencil, and a notepad. (Sadly, the warm attire is required due to the extreme weather conditions outside my window right now. If you happen to be one of the lucky few that gets to live in California or Florida, make adjustments accordingly.)

Directions:
Step 1:  Write today's lovely question (What makes you YOU?) at the top of your page. If you are of the female gender and wish to decorate your paper with glitter, stickers, and the like, please do so. If you are a man, feel free to do the same, but perhaps it would be advisable to do so privately.

Step 2: Ask yourself, how would the ones I love best describe me? And why is it that they would describe me as such? (Keep in mind that the purpose of this exercise is to look at the positive impact you have made in other people's lives. Do not allow yourself to even entertain negativity.)

Step 3: Make a list of your accomplishments and gifts, things you can be proud of. Then, give yourself a pat on the back for being such an awesome person.

Step 4: Free write! Answer today's question in your own words. Do not be intimidated by blank space on your page! Take a deep breath and write as much or as little as you want to.

Step 5: If you so desire, write a comment on this post sharing your experince with this exercise. We'd love to hear how it went for you! To leave a comment simply click # Comments and type what you wish to say in the text box provided. If you do not have a Google account, select that you will be commenting anonymously, but please sign your name at the end of your comment!

Best of luck! Remember to be positive and praiseful of yourself!
