It's not always easy to see ourselves as others do. Put all of your best qualities into words by writing a personal ad for yourself. Don't be modest! Now is your chance to brag about all you have to offer. Use these prompts to get started: 

1. Three positives to describe your personality

2. Your best features 

3. Your greatest talents/gifts

**BONUS JOURNALING TIP**

 "The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another." - William James
