In my book, one thing that constitutes an emotionally healthy person is expecting that you're an imperfect being and always leaving room for improvement. The ways to better yourself as a person are endless: you can work on accepting yourself more, forgiving others more easily, or becoming more assertive. This, of course, doesn't mean that you shouldn't love who you are as is, it just means that you're a work in progress, which is a good thing.
Obviously these kind of changes don't happen over night; in fact, they can take years and a lot of determination, which is what makes the change that much more significant. But let's face it, wouldn't it be wonderful to just flip a switch and have a complete change take place? If you could change one thing about yourself instantaneously, do tell, what would it be?

I wish I wasn't shy. It's something I'm always working on, but it's hard because it's so ingrained in my personality.
1i realllllly reallllly wished i had the gift of knowing how to cook! i just dont have that kinda skill... =(
and the things that i do know how to make i stick to cuz i dont have creativity =(
2low self esteem, which also comes with my shyness, and obsessing over things to much.
3Personally, I'm content with who I am. I'm not perfect, but overall, I think I'm a good person, and I like myself.
Now physically, that's another story. I'm desperately trying to grow out my hair. My hair is chin length, and I want hair down to my hip. My hair grows DARN SLOW. At this rate, I would achieve hip-length hair in several years. That is a looooong wait. So if there's one thing I could change about myself instantly, it would be to have hip-length hair.
4Uh... bigger boobs.
5My body image. Or just my body. I could live with so many of my other insecurities if I didn't look at this mess in the mirror, or at least if I didn't hate it.
6Oh patience, hands down. It gets the best of me every time.
7I wish I wasn't so shy too. I'm really insecure and I feel so inferior to everyone all the time. I have very, very few relationships as a result.
8My patience level ........
9I'd fix my mood. I'd love to be naturally happy more of the time.
10I'm in the patience group. I wish I had more.
11I wish I could be more secure with my body. I'm working on it...
12I wish I was more outgoing and had much higher self esteem.
13Patience. I get irritated way too easily.
14Patience.
15I'm too shy and I'm too compassionate
16I think i would change the fact that I am really hard on myself.
17I truly wish I could change my shady past...but I cant do that, so I wish I could be more forgiving. not just to myself, but to anyone.
18confidence. more of it.
19I wish I was more outgoing, and patient.
20Body wise, I wish I was taller.
Longer attention span would be nice.
Also, I have a very Jekyll/Hyde type personality where I can be incredibly self conscious and shy, or extremely social and bold. No middle ground. I trying to keep myself in the middle and be more composed and calmer. Hm.
21Jumping to conclusions all the time
22I think that overall, I'm content with myself, but the past few months has brought a change on me. That's what I want to change.
Oh my goodness...one thing that I would LOVE the change bout myself is my worry bout perfection! I care too much bout what others would think. I try not to mind it, but I fail at that.
23I would love to be more confident and have a higher self esteem. Also it would be great to be more spontaneous and be comfortable with decision-making.
24My self-esteem. I have none. It's sad really and I've been trying to improve it for years. That would be what I would change...
25i would like to be less anxious, especially about my children. there's a saying that is something like "once bad luck finds you it remembers where you live" and i sort of always have that in the back of my mind (and not too far back). we've had more than our share of misfortune with our kids and i worry, worry, worry that there will be more.
26Hmm. I'll just say the first thing that came to mind.
I wish I could be one of those blessed women where the fat just goes right to their breasts and NOWHERE else.
27They exist, and I'm astounded every time.
I have the worst anger problem. I become irrational, uncontrollable and LOUD when I get upset, which is fairly often. I usually get annoyed and stressed easily, and it really hurts the people around me.
28my cognitive patterns... I hate the way my mind works, after having suffered from an ED there's like a permanent brain damage or something, it feels like you never really return to normal.
29i would love it if i wasn't such a procrastinater. i stress myself out alot cuz i procrastinate all the time. that is one thing i am really trying to work on but it is hard!
30I wish I was thinner, more patient, and overall a little more "happy" or "positive."
And xsofiex you are correct!
31I like myself as a person. Im happy with my looks and the way my body looks. One thing that I want to change asap is my health. Im suffering from Endometriosis. Im going the alternative route- homeopathy and some other things so I know that I will be cured. But i just cant wait anymore. I know it will resolve all my problems. I had to even leave my job so Im hoping to get back to work in few months.
32One more thing that I would like to change is my confidence level. I hate speaking in front of a crowd...thats important for me coz Im doing an MBA...I just feel so vulnerable. I was very shy initially so I think I've come a long way from that. And the fact that I over-analyze things...I just think too much. This was an awfully long post. Maybe I should also aim for shorter posts in the future ...lol
