What does it mean to accept yourself for who you truly are?
It means being honest with yourself, authentic and true to who you are – at least when that is possible.
It’s about allowing what is happening in your life to simply be exactly what it is, without trying to morph, mold or manipulate it into something else.
When you practice drastic acceptance, life becomes more seamless, open and relaxed. Thus we improve our relationships with ourselves and others.
Our hearts can expand enough to contain all of the joy, pain and love that life has to offer us.
Experiencing our full range of emotions exactly as they are.
Learning to cope with the fact that you can not possibly control everything.
Some things are best left to rest than to waste precious energy on.
And learning that you ultimately will never be able to control the choices or opinions others!
Practicing acceptance means fully embracing change.
Letting go of what has been, becoming more present where you are right now and looking forward to the future.
Wherever life may take you.
