Are there parts of yourself you have a hard time loving?
Does your inner critic insist that you need to be better, smarter, thinner, kinder or more attractive?
Do you tell yourself once you lose the weight or find your mate or get your dream job – that THEN you will be able to love yourself?
Self acceptance is an act of love.
Acceptance doesn’t mean giving up. It is not resignation or forfeiture.
You can want to change or shift or grow and still love and accept yourself.
You can strive for more and also accept yourself. You can love yourself and want more. You can love yourself and want to change.
In fact, you are more likely to grow and shift and change and expand when you are operating from a base of love.
Self acceptance doesn’t mean pretending to love yourself or pretending you are excited about something that you want to be different.
Acceptance is an acknowledgement.
Acceptance is unconditional love.
It is surrender.
It’s a full exhale.
It’s an honoring of who you are and what is true.
Self acceptance is an act of love.
I’m going live in my Sensuous Woman Facebook group to talk more about acceptance. Join us here.
