Acceptance does not mean that you must love every aspect of yourself

CLEAR SPACE MIND

Acceptance does not mean that you must love every aspect of yourself. It does not mean that you condone your flaws. It simply means that you are aware of them and have consciously chosen to withhold your self-judgments and self-criticisms. Self-acceptance takes work and discipline. Maybe you learn self-acceptance through therapy or by allowing yourself child’s pose in yoga when you need it. Maybe you learn it through heartbreak or failure. However you do it, learning self-acceptance and validation is the one kind of work that can never be taken from you.
