9 Steps to Build Yourself Acceptance

1. Build your self awareness:

When you know who you are and who you are not

you’re better able to become accepting of all of yourself: the good, the bad, and everything in between.

2. Choose to believe in yourself:

Making the choice to believe in yourself is absolutely the foundation of having a positive self-image.

3. Recognise and celebrate your strengths:

Everybody is good at something, and when you focus on your positive attributes you begin to build greater self confidence and you tend to believe in yourself more.

4. Recognise and work on your self-development opportunities:

None of us are perfect, and our growth as a human being is a lifelong journey!

5. Surround yourself with positive people:

the types of people you spend the bulk of your time with will have a direct influence on the way you think and feel about the world and about yourself.

6. Stop comparing yourself to others:

Everyone’s life circumstances are unique, and so comparing yourself to others is not only a waste of time, it’s also damaging to your sense of self worth.

7. Practice ownership and accountability:

when you choose to be accountable for who you are, and when you take ownership of things it allows you to be completely truthful with others and with yourself..

8. Set realistic expectations for yourself:

So often we expect ourselves to be a super-person and it’s not only not realistic to expect that from yourself, it’s also not fair on yourself.

Stop demanding perfection from yourself.

9. Let go of anything that no longer serves you:

Often we hold onto things because they’re familiar, and there’s a sense of safety and comfort in the familiar; however, just because something feels familiar that doesn’t mean it’s right for you.
