Most of this world seems to be more concerned with being Socially Accepted (fitting in, gaining the approval of others) than being Self-Accepting (embracing your true self with all of your unique imperfections). Well, it doesn’t have to be this way for you.
Think about it this way…what if you re-frame how you look at your imperfections and choose to embrace all of you? And really, why are we so concerned with what the average person out there thinks of us anyway?
You can make the choice each morning to be Self-Accepting by taking off the façade and just being you. That might be scary, but the more you practice being you, the more natural and comfortable it will feel.
God created you just the way you are, perfectly imperfect. What a gift! Life is a gift and it’s what you make of it. When I choose to let go and embrace my imperfections to make the choice to be Self-Accepting, I can tell you, it’s absolutely freeing! You can “test it out” for yourself today and it starts with letting go of what other people think, letting go of trying to gain the approval of others, and letting go of trying to be someone you aren’t.
Below are four statements that can help you feel more Self-Accepting. Speak these throughout the day and see how it feels…
- I am Perfect just the way I am.
- I am choosing to be Self-Accepting.
- I was designed this way for a reason.
- I really am Perfect just the way that I am!
You get to make a choice each morning and it’s up to you!
