i KNOW what i LIKE

During one class session, my yoga instructor, Donah, encouraged us to think about the things we LIKE. She explained that oftentimes, people are able to pinpoint what they don’t like at the drop of a dime. For instance, if person A says to person B, “What do you want to do today?” Person B will respond and say, “I don’t know, I know I DON’T want to go to the mall” OR if person B says to person A, “Where do you want to go eat?” Person A will say, “I DON’T want seafood.” So, it’s important to recognize what we like and acknowledge those things. To be sure of ourselves and try to eliminate words like DON'T, from our vocabulary, as much as possible.

So, last year sometime, I created a photo album on facebook called I SIMPLY REMEMBER MY FAVORITE THINGS… It was an album to identify a few things I like. I’ll share some of the photos throughout this post. I took Donah’s advice and compiled a list of 50 things I LIKE:
