I've had this exercise suggested to me before and read of others doing it. Somehow I've always brushed it off as not being likely to be helpful. I feel I do know my positive attributes I just don't give them any weight or believe in them. I really should give it a try though. Thanks.

And yes self esteem is another thing I lack in spades.
