• Tips for more self-acceptance!

Look, we do not feel well enough from time to time. If you feel that you are not good enough then you probably tend to do things to reduce this feeling.

And the things that we do to make us feel better are often things that do not work in the long run. As seeking confirmation from others, behave differently to gain approval or improve ourselves: to lose weight, to train, to change and to mold ourselves.

There is nothing wrong with self-improvement, but this route is endless. If you feel that you have to constantly change so that you can finally feel that you are good enough - then you are busy for the rest of your life.

• The route of self-acceptance

When you work on self-acceptance, you learn to accept that you are good enough - just as you are now. You realize that you can always change if you want to - but that this is not necessary to be valuable enough to be loved.

The nice thing about this route is that it is finite. That is to say: one day you have accepted yourself as you are. And so you do not have to constantly struggle to feel that you are good enough as you are.

So it is smart to work on your self acceptance. Not only because it saves you a lot of effort. But also because it gives you a stronger feeling of love, self-confidence, peace and self-compassion.

And yes - from there you can still improve yourself. But no longer from a feeling that you are not good enough. But from the feeling that you are valuable, and that you want to take good care of yourself.
