Self-acceptance +3 years
Self-acceptance +3 years
Often, it is easier to forgive others than yourself. How do you talk to yourself? Often, we say things to ourselves that we wouldn’t accept
someone else saying to us and that we wouldn’t tell them. Be kind to yourself because you will spend the rest of your life with yourself.
Take advantage of the endless resources within yourself. With self-acceptance, we can guide ourselves like a fired arrow through life.
Often, we know more about our limitations than our assets. Many young people believe that they cannot or are anything. When, in fact,
you have as many conditions and resources as you want.
Write down a list of assets you have and what you lack. Assets are immeasurably greater. Can read, write, and speak; reasonably
healthy; has friends. You are an ocean of limitless talents and strengths. See your shining self and dare to challenge your self-image.
The most tremendous success is seeing what you already have in a new light. See the miracle in yourself, nature, and all your technological inventions. Let that childlike belief from when you were little - that you can be anything and do anything - live on. You are as limitless as the oceans!
Adventures and new conquests are waiting for you. If you think you are at the top now - there is a new top. If you’ve climbed Mount Everest on Earth, there are higher mountains on Mars - you must get there first. Life should not be a “must do” but a “must do.”
Positive effect: Researchers from Yale and the University of Singapore did a study with 7,626 Americans under 20, showing that self-acceptance lowered the risk of death by 19% and gave them years longer.

Life constantly offers new challenges and changes. If you have already accepted yourself, you are prepared for whatever lies ahead — aging with health in both body and soul. Getting yourself is a stepping stone to a longer life.
true. Then, you reframe each thought with a positive alternative.
Think of something you want to forgive yourself for and write it down. “I shouldn’t have done X. I’m so selfish.” Then you write: “I forgive
myself for doing X and being selfish. The truth is…” and add what an empathic friend or therapist would say: “that I was stressed because…” or “I had slept badly and meant no harm.”
When you accept yourself, you don’t need to seek validation from outside and gain power over your life. Become the captain of
both strengths and weaknesses!
Surround yourself with positive people who appreciate and lift you. List the people you spend the most time with. Do they speak to you positively or negatively? Is it a close relative or partner? Sit down in a calm conversation, tell how you feel, and ask for support and optimism
going forward.
