Unconditional Acceptance

How many times in your life have you uttered the words “I am not good enough” or felt this way by the words or actions from someone else.

 Sometimes we tend to be too hard on ourselves; we are seldom at peace with our efforts and to add to this if someone else disapproves s of our actions or behaviour it is just so much worse. What is important before others can accept you; you need to accept yourself first and to do this is an ongoing process – Accept all of you, your body, each curve & mark, your strengths and weakness, your intelligence and knowledge, your failures, your position at work, church, community, sexual preference, your unique personality, simply accept yourself for who you are.


Unconditional acceptance does not mean giving up on all your morals, it means letting go of who you think you should be AND instead makes you fall in love with who you currently are – hope that makes sense.
Unconditional acceptance is the basic acceptance and support of a person regardless of what the person say or do. People who have not been exposed to it may see themselves in the negative ways that others have made them feel.

When we accept ourselves, we shift from living for tomorrow to appreciating today. Acceptance heals, nurture and nourish yourself – forgive yourself and let go of any negative/bad relationships may it be with family, friends, colleagues.

Love and accept yourself exactly the way you are. Accept compliments and return it with a simple Thank You – you don’t always need to return a compliment to a giver unless you honestly mean it.
TO end this post:

§  it’s okay to accept yourself unconditionally,

§  it’s okay to distance yourself from toxic people,

§  it’s okay to break relationships that no longer serves a purpose or add value to your well being,
§  it’s okay to spend time alone & spoil yourself,

§  it’s okay to be your crazy self, no matter who’s around you, if they truly care and accept you unconditionally – they will not be bothered.

Every morning, look in the mirror and say “I ACCEPT and LOVE myself exactly the way I am”.
