WHY "ACCEPTING YOURSELF" WILL DESTROY YOU!

alt

Did you know that 85% of the world's population are affected by low self esteem. The answer to this is often advice like "accept yourself" or "like yourself".

As a matter of fact, even mainstream media pushes the whole "acceptance" thing on us on a daily basis. While they are good recommendations, the concept of acceptance is completely twisted in most people's minds.

Accepting or liking yourself is not about standing in front of the mirror and saying "Myself, I like you!" nor is it trying to love yourself as you are - without making any changes.


Here's The Hard Truth:
It's only possible to accept the things that absolutely cannot be changed.
Most people get acceptance wrong by trying to accept things that CAN be changed.


That keeps them sad and depressed for the rest of their lives.

Real honest acceptance requires work and effort. It's only when you make real effort to change the things that you don't like in your life that self-acceptance and self-love shows up.

Take action, get small results, become happier about yourself.

Stay motivated!
