Self-acceptance means accepting your whole self without judgment. That includes your weaknesses, your flaws, and difficult parts, the ones that you probably try to deny or suppress. Accepting yourself as you are is also letting go of what you think you are and who you think you “should” be.
In this blog post, I want to talk about why it’s so hard to accept yourself, and the key to start accepting yourself as you are.
You can’t fully accept yourself because, number one, you have expectations. We expect ourselves to be someone we know we’re not.
See yourself for who you are rather than seeing yourself based on how you think others see you.
So many of us spend our entire lives being someone that we are not just to seek love, approval, and validation from other people. And the more we try to appear a certain way, the more likely we are to fall out of alignment with our true selves.
You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.
Getting to know yourself will help you decrease your expectations of yourself.
Start seeing the positive side of your flaws. Many times, the things society tells us are “unworthy” or “unacceptable” are actually the coolest, most interesting parts of us.
Don’t focus on what you think the world wants from you. Focus on doing what you love to do. Set goals for yourself and follow your dreams and your own path. As soon as you focus on loving, accepting, and understanding yourself, your life will change.
Self-compassion is also the key to start accepting yourself as you are. It is giving yourself understanding and unconditional love especially when you don’t feel like it. It’s about being kind to yourself. The truth is you are unique and worthy. Kindness and overall self-compassion will make you understand that everything about you is okay and that’s when acceptance comes in.
Self-acceptance is so important for your self-confidence. Accept your acne, height, weight, weirdness, flaws, shyness, emotions, and other physical and personal traits you have that are normal and human. Accept yourself as a whole. Don’t hesitate to face the real you.
Your mission is to accept yourself. To find peace with exactly who and what you are. To take pride in your thoughts, appearance, talents, and flaws and to stop the incessant worrying that you cannot be loved as you are. Because you definitely are ❤
I don’t know because I don’t feel like I can have it.i just got dumped today
Même si c’est douloureux, c’est peut être une bonne chose pour vous, vous pourrez vous concentrer sur votre épanouissement personnel et découvrir que si vous vous aimez et aimez la vie inconditionnellement alors la vie vous le rendra au centuple ! Belle vie à vous
-it is kinda hard for me to accept that I gotta live with acne. It is not easy but I try everyday to be like you know what this is me and I gotta live with this. But the moment I look myself in the mirror and see all the acne on my face I kinda lose that confidence and be like oh man why me?..
-thank you though for the blog, I will work hard in accepting myself the way I am and live a normal and free life without having to worry about the acne. Thanks again❤️
Take one day at a time ! I know it may be hard but eventually it’ll get better and easier ! Hold your head up high and if you need to cry let it out it’s apart of your healing journey! I’m sorry this happened to you ! I pray you find peace and take time to heal ! God bless you ! This storm too shall pass , the storm will not last forever 🙏🫶♥️

You can do everything you set your mind on. And for you being damped its their loss not your my dear. Remember YOU’RE WORTHY OF LOVE
I woke up today and was constantly self critical about my height and appearance । This is the post needed today Thank you very much 💜
the person that damped you didn’t do it because of they way you are but because of the way they are. They might tell you something different but this is the truth. They couldn’t see you for you and maybe started the relationship from the wrong foot. You are not the only onn they will dump. They’ll keep on dumping people until they’ll understand what is that they truely care and feev cared about. Sometimes we get in the wrong relationship exactly because we don’t have enough self-love and we delude ourselves on whether this other person loves us more than how much we love ourselves. I repeated to myself for so long that I wasn’t enough that I convinced everyone around me that that was true. Don’t make the same mistake, challenge people’s idea of you, you are worth it.
Thanks a lot this really helped.
