Strategies For Increasing Your Self-Acceptance

Learn strategies that will help you thrive from a place of self-acceptance and feel good on the inside. One of the biggest blocks to self-acceptance and thriving comes from prioritising external achievements and overlooking your internal attributes.

A powerful strategy for nurturing self-acceptance is practising self-compassion. This is about evaluating your negative self-talk and letting go of harshly judging yourself for making mistakes and not being perfect. Self-compassion allows you to move into a place of self-acceptance by accepting that you are just human and imperfection is a natural part of the human experience. We are all imperfectly perfect and that’s OK.

The next time you notice you’re berating yourself, take a moment to pause and reflect. If you were to speak to a child or your best friend, what would you say to them? Use this practice to apply self-compassion to yourself and learn to thrive from a place of self-acceptance.

Ditching Negative Self-Talk For Self-Acceptance

When you’re caught up in negative self-talk it’s hard to thrive from a place of self-acceptance. You have over 60,000 + thoughts each day and a lot of them are negative and run on repeat at a subconscious level. Again coming from a place of self-compassion helps you be more kind and accepting towards yourself. In turn that helps you thrive, so you can create more impact and make more sales in your coaching business.

A powerful strategy to ditch the negative self-talk and movie into acceptance is by paying close attention to your negative thoughts. Write them down as you notice them and do this for 2 – 3 days (or longer if you can). 

Once you’ve written them all down, even if they come up more than once, go through your list. Did one thought lead to another thought? Is there a pattern here? Are these negative thoughts really true? How could you shift your perspective on these thoughts?

Progress Over Perfection

Stop looking at what is broken inside of you and focus on your strengths, skills and talents. No two people are the same. This means you are completely and 100% unique. There is no one else like you on the planet which makes you a gift. 

No one wants perfection, because we are all imperfectly perfect. Show up as your authentic self and others will resonate with you.

Let go of the need to be perfect and focus on progress over perfection. The more you do this the more comfortable you will feel. The more you will be able to thrive from a place of self-acceptance and love with the knowledge that you don’t need to be perfect.

I’ll leave you with this beautiful quote by Elizabeth Gilbert…

“I think perfectionism is just fear in fancy shoes and a mink coat, pretending to be elegant when actually it’s just terrified. Because underneath that shiny veneer, perfectionism is nothing more than a deep existential angst that says, again and again, ‘I am not good enough and I will never be good enough.”
