Tag: how to accept yourself
We’ve all feared — at some stage in our lives — what people think of us. As ludicrous as it is to hand over your personal power in this way, it’s still a reality and something that is dealt with on a daily basis for most. Here’s how to accept yourself.
We as coaches and healers can want nothing for the best for clients and do our best to guide our clients through looking at core wounds and of course, this is always painful, but an ever-rewarding process. However, if we get stuck in one area we think is the sole cause of the person no longer progressing, then we tend to fall right back into the same energy and belief that “here” is not okay, and that there will forever be a place we still need to get to in order to be happy.
We’ve all heard the phrase, “emotionally charged” before and there’s a literal aspect to that phrase as emotion are energy and do carry a particular charge. While the true ends of the spectrum are only fear and only love, emotions can appear multifaceted. An emotion such as anger comes from fear, for example while an emotion such as joy comes from love. Anger, while horrible to experience yourself or to be at the receiving end of someone else’s, is simply telling us there is a lot of pain present. People who hurt others were most likely hurt badly themselves as some point and until healed, the cycle continues. So, how do use emotion to help us live better lives and stop being so reactive?
A key element in enjoying the act of giving is honoring yourself and having the courage to say no to those requests you do not feel connected to in your heart; that you know are not meant for you. Once I began to respect myself and my time, I also started attracting people of a higher caliper, vibration, integrity. And this has always been proof to me that the Universe speaks in resonance…
Sexy is a state of mind. For many people, there’s a direct correlation between negative self image and their libido. It’s hard to feel sexy with a slew of negative thoughts swirling around in your head. We asked our Experts to weigh in with simple yet effective ways readers can feel sexier right now.
Non-attachment isn’t dimming your fire or passion. It isn’t denying how you feel. It is merely taking the steps necessary to discipline yourself to not stay IN one emotion, because we’re not meant to. Our natural state is neutral (no coincidence they are such similar words) and to remain balanced; and practicing non-attachment allows us to live a more balanced life.
One voice in my head said I should accept myself just the way I am.
How to find peace in this moment and ultimately with who WE are right now, no matter what is going on (or not going on) in our lives? The key I’ve discovered that works best for me is simple acceptance. This is much different that “giving up” or enabling, but think of it more as letting go trustfully, surrendering, and allowing what is, simply to be, without judgment. When we can look at a situation without our judgments and reactions and see what is left sitting there, this allows for further clarity of the bigger picture.
Ever felt like a square peg in a round hole? A fish out of water? A knife in a fork drawer? That was me growing up.
Learn to believe in yourself. Even when the challenges come, as they eventually will, or people don’t believe in you. Always believe in yourself.
“I love me. So the day that you decide to stop loving me, I’m not gonna love myself any less. I believe in me. If you stop believing in me, I’m not gonna believe in myself any less.” Tyrese Gibson
In today’s society, sadly many of us are unaware of the magnificent details of this connection and are most certainly not taught about it in school or from our parents. But some of us, those we call Emotional or Intuitive Empaths, are born with such capabilities that they without effort absorb and pick up on the energies, thoughts and feelings of those around them.
Ralph Smart goes deep once again on another episode of Infinite Waters where he talks about how to be confident in anything in life. Ralph examines how the things we do and how we speak influences our confidence. He says we should “screw the rehearsal” and go through life with less of a filter, trust yourself and be more confident. Life is not an act, it’s a state of being.
In letting go on my need for judgment, I created a space for acceptance that wasn’t there before. And with that came the ability to not feel the fear that exists with not knowing how things will turn out, but still being able to face the day and do the things you need to do with your head up, regardless of the fear you’re feeling. It’s not the repression or denial of fear, but the using of it as a tool for learning and growth. When we can accept was IS, we allow what will be…
Self-worth comes from knowing that you are enough, just as you are. You are inherently worthy, and you don’t need anyone else’s approval. I didn’t always hold myself in high regard, or treat myself with the respect I deserved. I’m now in my thirties and live a beautiful life filled with self-love, kindness, and passion, but in my younger years I suffered from low self-worth.
