It\u2019s about knowing who you are and confidently completely <strong><em>accepting<\/em><\/strong> yourself.&nbsp; And others will see it. It is the energy you will give off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Self-acceptance<\/strong> is a key to successfully thriving in any life transition. <strong>Facing most life changes begin and are 80% between your ears! <\/strong>&nbsp;The rest is details. With self-acceptance comes a sense of being whole and integrated. And not being so concerned what others think. Able to move forward confidently with whatever changes you are dealing with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">When we&#8217;re self-accepting, we&#8217;re able to embrace all facets of ourselves\u2014not just the positive, more &#8220;esteem-able&#8221; parts. Self-acceptance is unconditional, free of any qualification. We can recognize our weaknesses or limitations, but this awareness in no way interferes with our ability to fully accept ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">A few benefits that happen with self-acceptance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Diminished fears and doubts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Attract people who actually like you (new family)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Able to remove others from your life who are non-accepting \/ non-supportive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Less willing to compromise your needs to the wishes of others<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Achieving self-acceptance increases self-awareness and develops self-love<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I believe once achieving a significant level of self-acceptance, you are less likely to look to others for approval or care what they think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">5 self-acceptance exercises<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Practice gratitude. Every day, write down three to five things you&#8217;re grateful for. &#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Reframe your negative thoughts. Negative beliefs are the voice of your inner critic. &#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Choose your support system. Make a list of the people you spend the most time with. &#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Meditate. &#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Embrace what makes you unique. Start by thinking of the things that make you special. &#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Let go of the things you can&#8217;t change. &#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Celebrate your accomplishments. &#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Don\u2019t forget to <strong>Forgive yourself<\/strong>. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Wendy Cole Transition Mentor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I help people untangle their perplexing mindset around abuse, trauma, and difficult life transitions.
