5 qualities I'm proud of; 5 I'm not proud of

1. Clean and organized. Not everywhere all the time, but I'm proud of my ability to keep the house, my desk, my notes, books, stuff - clean and tidy.

2. TIL. I like to learn and I've learned a lot! I'm proud of this too, that I've put effort into continuous learning in reading, skills, arts. 

3. Puzzles. I really enjoy puzzles, and I'm proud of the patience and perseverance I'll put into it. It can be on a phone app, or a project at work, or the ACT review stuff I've been doing. 

4. Athleticism. Amelia, the athlete part of me. Activity and motion, multiple talents and drives. This part of me has changed a lot lately, but it's still there. I'm proud of my desire to continue returning to healthy choices and activities. 

5. Phoenix. I picked myself up, and I flew away. So much has happened and yet I'm still here and I'm still going. I'm proud of this ability - I see now that I can adapt to change!


Qualities I'm not so proud of. 

1. I can get stuck in a rut, a habit track. But don't we all? But I'd really like to change some of the habits and I've been trying for years. Literally, years. 

2. I have a denial streak, and often refuse to see my mistakes. I'll eat something for dinner, then act like I didn't and not log it, for example. 

3. I have a blind streak and often fail to see my own errors. Much like the biblical quote, I can see it in others but not me. 

4. I have a tendency to focus on others' problems and issues, while mine are screaming at me. The exact same issues, denied and blinded. But on top of that, I redirect to others. 

5. I often know exactly what to do, yet I don't do it. This relates to #1, I deal with it by #2, #3, and #4. Full circle.
