•The Unconditional Self Acceptance•
Self criticism starts from a very young age - when the people around us comment negatively on certain aspect of ourselves as an individual, we tend to carry that for the rest of our adulthood. It shouldn’t be a surprise when we find ourselves criticizing us the way the adults did while growing up.
If we grew up in a generally supportive environment then predominantly positive message becomes a norm for us. But if that is not the case, then responsibility to accept the person we are lies on our shoulders, solely. We will need on our own to learn how to attest our essential OK-ness. When I say we need to accept ourselves, I mean the complete package we are ; good & bad, yin & yang, positive & negative. Accepting our shadow self is a start to a lifelong self acceptance.
Becoming more self-accepting begins when we accept and appreciate who we are be it looks, intelligence or any of our questionable behavior — we are not to be blame for anything. This process requires immense amount of compassion and forgiveness in our hearts for ourselves.
