Welcome to this week’s mini-episode and curiosity challenge is about reflecting on what you love and appreciate about yourself? As humans, we are truly amazing and complex. We have many wonderful qualities and gifts that we bring to the world – so this week’s reflective question is simply a way to help us realise just how amazing we truly are. We’re all really good at being our own self critics and identifying all the things don’t love about ourselves – so let’s take time instead to identify the things that we do love and appreciate about ourselves.
