Accept Yourself Exactly As You Are.
Any
positive change you can prepare for in your life starts with a simple,
categorical aim to either do something or stop doing something.
This type of goal is both inspiring and important.
However,
What do you think happens when you're too focused on a target, or if you're too obsessed with it?
You start to think in a new way: that who you are right now isn't good enough.
One of our recent "Getting Back to Healthy" course students had become overly obsessed with her meditation efforts a few months earlier.
She started to tell herself, "I'm not good enough," and "I have to get better at this," as her interest in meditation increased. She started to note a number of flaws in herself that needed to be addressed.
In a nutshell, her extreme attempts to meditate for long periods of time had resulted in a slew of unwelcome self-criticism and tension.
Thankfully, with a little help from us, she realized that her fascination with meditation had caused her to overlook one of the most important aspects of meditation: self-acceptance.
The bottom line is that you must embrace yourself as you are before committing to personal development. You will not make any constructive efforts to develop if you believe you are already "perfect."
Constantly criticizing yourself, on the other hand, is just as ineffective as doing nothing, and you'll never be able to make new positive improvements in your life if you're preoccupied with your shortcomings.
The trick is to keep reminding yourself that you are already capable; all you need is more practice. There is a need, and a great one for that matter for you to transition from the "I must improve" mantra to "I have to give it all my attention" mantra
The second mantra is much more powerful because it genuinely encourages you to take constructive steps at any given time while still acknowledging that no effort is flawless.
On your path, being able to differentiate between healthy striving and self-abuse is a crucial step toward leading a healthier and more successful life.

DeleteIn as much as we strive to become better us, we should not forget that self acceptance is necessary. As humans, we are limited. Knowing this reality will help us not to be discouraged when we don't transcend always.
ReplyDeleteGood one

Very interesting

Do keep coming back
Limitation is an enemy to self actualization. It does transcend disbelief, it creates lack always and positions us for the fall.
ReplyDeleteIf one lifts his/herself from this state, we are conquering our pitfalls already. Thanks sir for the weekend vibes, cheers
When a man or a woman for that matter knows himself or herself Providence helps them to grow beyond their imaginations
DeleteVery true. There could be no definite act or worthy venture without a conscious commitment to excellence and the degree at every given time is what makes the gamot of difference. Well done Sir.
ReplyDeleteConscious commitment to excellence
DeleteI love that phrase
This is really inspiring.

DeleteAgreed Doc. Self Acceptance is self love. It's when u know how to love yrself that u can adequately love others in line with the scriptural injunction that requires that we love our neighbor as ourselves. Yes, we may not be where we want to be but certainly we are not where we used to be and He that has brought us this far is able to take us to where He has envisaged for us!
ReplyDeleteAccepting ourselves but also making conscious and consistent efforts to improve ourselves to be better persons
