Monday chip-using talents.disinterested in self

[Lin]

The chip I pulled for today is USING TALENTS /or DISINTERESTED IN SELF.

Bfore recovery I had talents but they were hidden deeply inside. I had to dig and see what I might be talented in. I developed my talents and I use them for myself, for others as well as to improve my self esteem. I discovered I was good at painting shirts. I took some painting lessons on wood in 1983 and was good. But then I decided to teach myself the shirt painting techniques. I also branched out to applique on shirts. That was how I got out of me and how I learned to like ME. I found that i DO have something worthwhile to give to others.

When I was searching for what I may be talented in I thought of...writing, sewing, cooking, gardening, singing, playing an instrument and crafts. Once I figured out what I liked to do and what I was good at, I developed it.

Are you using your talents ? or are you disinterested in self?

Haven't been utilizing much the last two days as I have been sick. You know I am sick when I don't touch my computer for two days.

I know I am a creative person and try to bring that creativity into all areas of my life. It was also a great gift to learn to know that there are things that I am not good at and accepting that fact and not beating myself up over my inability to do ALL things.

When I was younger, I had tons of talents, I had all kinds of hobbies. But the ole saying is when it got to be to hard to keep up with the hobbies, you put it away thinking you might take on it again at a later date. For me its been years. I have been kinda disinterested in my self which is not a good thing. I think I can safely blame it on my fibro..
Overall, I know what I need to do, its getting "into" it is the game.

Had many talents when
I was younger. I've let them go by the wayside
because I didn't think I was much good. Also the
cost involved became too much too handle at this
point in my life.
