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 "I like myself" nor is it trying to love yourself as you are - without making any changes.
Here's The Brutal Truth:
It's only possible to accept the things that absolutely cannot be changed.
It's a crucial point for you.
Most people get acceptance wrong by trying to accept things that CAN be changed.
That leads them to stay sad and depressed for the rest of their life.
When I was a teenager, I was a very terrible stutterer.
It made me very sad and my mother would tell me to just "accept myself" the way I was.
I tried it for a while but found it very hard to try to convince myself that I should accept myself. (Remember, you can't lie to your subconscious mind…)
So when I decided to invest in a speech therapy program, I sent clear signals to my subconscious mind that I was taking ACTION to make changes.
I instantly felt better about myself and liked myself more.
That's the way it works.
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.
Have an amazing day!
