How Do You Accept You as You Are

Updated on December 31, 2024

I have accepted my life and move on with a smile and share my experiences with this friendly community.

Acceptance

Let go of what is bothering you to accept yourself as you are.

People hold on to their version of reality, this is easy and worth having in your life.

It is worth having if it is good and positive. Some people, want to hold onto what hurt them and go down the path of regret and disappointment.

They live in denial and avoid acceptance. Keep your body and thoughts in shape if you choose to do it that way. Connect with yourself and accept who you are.

Make yourself the centre of attraction.

Your body shape is unique and you love yourself. I prefer to focus on my positive qualities. A positive focus has helped me accept myself, and has allowed me to see my talents.

I know that positivism creates opportunities and obstacles are out the window. It is normal to think negatively, but that is a temporary thought that would disappear.

I believe in myself and that is what shows me great opportunities. There are imperfections, so do not look at life in perfection. I compliment myself after achieving goals to motivate myself to further accomplishments.

I do not care what other people think of my decisions. Thinking of what other people would think of me or my decisions would make me unhappy.

My life and my decisions are a priority. Worrying is not a priority, it creates unnecessary problems. I could be concerned or worried about problems, but that won’t change what is.

I accept my actions and move on from that experience. To accept myself, I had to focus on my strengths and the values I have.

It is easy to put your mind on the bad that happened to you.

You need to see yourself for who you are and not what others want you to be in their eyes. Everything that happened in my life made me stronger, more loving, appreciative, talented in writing, creative and organized in what I do for myself.

When people criticize you, how do their comments affect you?

These opinions set you back and give you a different outlook on yourself.

For example:

If you were criticized about your looks from childhood by your parents you would grow into an insecure child.

Accepting comments from others would be an issue for you.

It makes you rethink your issues through other people’s judgements and conversations.

See what is causing these negative vibes and fix the problem by letting go of what hurt you in the past.

I focused on self-acceptance before I focused on self-acceptance. What I discovered is that self-improvement made me see myself as unique.

Self-improvement is focused on making the changes to be myself. I had disappointments, mixed emotions and a series of misfortunes, but I continue to try not to give up on my adventures.

I practised daily to improve on my mistakes and I am courageous and upbeat about life. Self-compassion taught me to build a part about myself that I didn’t realize was amiss.

I was too busy thinking of how to build my life, learn a foreign language and build a career in a foreign country.

It made it easier to build self-compassion, deal with forgiveness, and have empathy moving on from my past life.

This allowed me to move on in peace, get past the tough times and become the person I am.

Stronger to deal with struggles and I know I am not perfect. Learning to accept yourself is the start of a new life for you not hating yourself anymore.

I accept myself for who I am and am proud to be myself. No two people can be the same, and no need to compare yourself with another person.

Shed tears, hear your inner voice and get out of the bad thoughts that control your mind.

I felt unhappy and lived on my past experiences, hoping and wishing everything would be as it was, and that wasn’t a good thought.

One day I realized these thoughts weren’t good for me. I decided to be kind to myself and love myself more than before.

Having faith in myself showed me the reality of a new lifestyle. I learned that self-acceptance is the key to a greater me.

The people I surrounded myself with changed the way I felt each day.

People value their successes and reach out to those who approve of them in society. In my case, I value what I learned from this life and get along better with whom I spend my time.

I sometimes thought self-esteem was the key to my acceptance, but self-acceptance is the key to my imperfect self. I don't want approval from other people to make me feel whole again.

That is something I have done for myself.

Boost self-esteem by recognizing your feelings.

Think about your present feelings and let go of the past feelings. It was hard work for me to practice, and believe in what I knew was new to me.

Culture, for one, had shocked me from day one in Croatia.

Most of what I had experienced allowed me to recognize the process I had to go through. Qualities and traits are unique and I had to see that for myself.

Overall, I did not give up, instead moved forward in my recognition of a new country. A way of life that showed me challenges, and happiness at the same time. As a child,

I accepted myself to the point of feeling accepted by my parents. While growing up most children are troublesome and have less communication with their parents.

Parents are unable to accept certain habits of their children.

I accepted myself through my experiences.

This life has taught me to live, to love more, to be kinder, to allow certain people in my life, to forgive and move on with a smile and to be strong for myself.

Everything in my life has been about acceptance and I have that completed in a foreign country.
