Overcoming the Challenges of Self-Acceptance to Embrace Who You Are

Do you want to know the secret to manifesting your heart’s desires? Then get a copy of my latest book Manifesting From the Soul – How to Raise Your Vibration & Unleash the Power Within 

Do you like yourself?! It’s a question many of us don’t even want to go near. You could say, well I’m in a loving relationship, why do I need to like myself? I must be OK!

The thing is, your actions and the events in your life are determined by whether or not you accept yourself, not somebody else, but you. Everything is energy, and how you subconsciously feel about yourself determines what manifests in your life. 

For example, do you focus on the negative aspects about yourself wishing you were slimmer, that you were in better shape and so on. Do you find yourself always saying yes to people even when you’re too busy to fit in their requests?  

These are the things that can happen when we don’t accept ourselves. We put ourselves down or try to be a people pleaser. 

Most of us are looking to find that someone special who will love and accept us as we are. But how about working on self-acceptance, even self-love? You have just as much right to accept, love and appreciate yourself as someone else, in fact, it’s the best thing you could do! 

Self-acceptance allows you to build a positive relationship with yourself. Your emotional well-being soars and you can create healthier relationships.  

Your mental health improves as you reduce the internal, critical voice. It allows you to embrace all your qualities and set healthier boundaries. You learn you can say no to people because your time and well-being is important to you. 

It can be hard because we live in a society where there are standards of beauty, success and so on which can make us feel inadequate. We worry how others will judge us if we don’t fit in to what’s expected of us.  

You may have a critical inner voice, always trying to be the perfectionist and falling short. Your family or community may be expecting certain things of you which means that your authentic self can’t come through. 

But there are things you can start to do to bring more self-acceptance into your life. You can practice self-compassion, treat yourself as you would a friend and accept that sometimes it’s OK to make mistakes or feel inadequate. 

If you have a critical inner voice which keeps telling you that you’re a failure or you always make mistakes, replace those with more neutral or positive statements such as I can learn from this, people make mistakes all the time and it’s OK if I do. Be gentle with yourself. 

Why not make a list of your strengths – what accomplishments or talents do you have. Are you there for your family and friends, are you a good listener, do you nourish your body with healthy food. Look at this list when you feel low. 

Self-acceptance can be a difficult journey – it takes time, effort and a willingness to embrace our imperfections because no-one is perfect. You’re doing the best you can and that is enough. And to be honest, many of us aren’t brought up to be happy with who we are. 

But once you accept yourself, your energy will change and life  will reflect this back to you as you feel more confident inside about who you are and what you can achieve. 

It can be a long journey towards self-acceptance but it’s rewarding and worth it, so take the plunge and learn to be happy with who you are.
