- I’m proud of how hard I worked in biology this year. (pride in effort/achievement)
- I like my hair even though it takes me a while to style. (self‑acceptance)
- I did my best during the soccer game. (focus on effort, not just outcome)
- I feel good about the healthy way I eat and exercise. (positive self‑regard)

Not chosen: the others express global negative self‑judgments or appearance comparisons (low satisfaction) or are neutral complaints rather than positive self‑views.
