I love myself for that

It is often easier for us to admire others for something than to find something we like about ourselves. 10 women took on the self-love challenge!

When it comes to admiring others for something, most of us are at the forefront. It becomes more difficult when you have to list things that you like about yourself. Ten women took on the self-love challenge.

PETRA, 35, SELF-EMPLOYED

"I can be enthusiastic about topics that interest me. That's what I like about myself. Also the fact that I go my way as a mom, woman and entrepreneur despite major and minor hurdles full of power."

BEATRICE, 47, PERSONAL TRAINER

"I have a very social streak, and I think that's great. I am happy to be there for other people when they need me and I can help. Once a month I volunteer to offer exercise counseling for cancer patients. That makes me happy."

DIANA, 41, EDITOR

"At ten I came to Austria as a refugee without speaking German. It wasn't always easy, but my belief in myself and my iron will helped me to persevere. Today I am happy to be able to feel at home here."

SABINE, 56, SINGLE COACH

"I am an absolute optimist. The fact that I always look through life with a positive outlook is the quality I love most about myself. And it is precisely this attitude that I like to pass on to other women in my job."

IRIS, 39, SPORTS SCIENTIST

"It wasn't always easy for me to admire myself. Today I can do it and I particularly appreciate my discipline, my strength, enthusiasm, authenticity and my direct manner."

KERSTIN, 35, EMPLOYEE

"I had a five percent chance of survival to 100 percent. I had an operation on the second cervical vertebra almost 20 years ago and then had to learn to walk again. I am very grateful for my indomitable fighting spirit."

RUTH, 35, KINESIOLOGIST

"What I'm proud of: That I never give up when I set myself a goal! Regardless of whether it's about winning 15,000 euros in the millionaire show, starting my own business or celebrating our dream wedding after 14 years together."

DORIS, 46, SEXUAL COUNSELOR

"As a fat child I was an outsider. Adding atopic dermatitis didn't make it any better. Later, I was light years away from feeling attractive. Now that's different: I've made peace with my body and even help others to learn to accept theirs."

JULIA, 28, ENTREPRENEUR

"I love every single scar on my body, because it is experiences that have shaped me into this special person. After a serious accident, my thinking changed a lot: I doubt, nag and no longer compare myself."

BARBARA, 39, ENTREPRENEUR

"I love my honesty, even if it often offends people. I love that I always manage to stay true to myself, privately, professionally and in my heart. I especially love my empathy and my empathy."
