Self-acceptance
Too many of us postpone
happiness and living life to the fullest because of a lack of
self-acceptance. We keep waiting for the magic number on the scale,
or the right person to enter our life, or the right outfit, or the
right makeup, the list goes on and on.
Self-acceptance is an
agreement with yourself to appreciate, validate, accept and support who you
are at this very moment, even those parts you’d like to eventually change.
Many people have the misconception or belief that if they accepted
themselves as they are, they wouldn’t change or that they wouldn’t work on
becoming more of who they want to be. We tend to think that if we
don't accept ourselves then that will be a motivation to change what we
don't like about ourselves.
The ironic thing about that
type of thinking is that if you will go for self-acceptance right here,
right now, then all of those things that you felt will make you happier will
come to you once you let go of the need to have them to live your life to
the fullest.
Look honestly at your
beliefs about yourself and about others. Let go of the need to be
someone else, or to be a different size, or to look a certain way.
Accept yourself as you are right now, today, and then look with wonder at
the miracles that will happen once self-acceptance is firmly rooted in your
being. Practice the
following ACCEPTING advice
A - acknowledge and accept the fact
that you are a unique individual that is worthy of self love.
C - Clearly define your beliefs about
yourself and then work on changing any negative beliefs
C - Change only those things that are
worthy of change.
E - Examine the facts. Don't allow others to define who you are.
P - Practice patience with yourself.

T - Train yourself with positive
affirmations - For example repeat this affirmation every day especially when
you look into a mirror. "I love and accept myself today."
I - Integrate some of the things you
admire in
others into your practices. If you
are seeing it in others then you have it within yourself so bring it forward
and show it to yourself. N -
Never give up on yourself.
G - Give
yourself permission to love and accept yourself for now and then you can
decide what you want to improve on in the future. Go for it! You can
be happy with yourself today.
