How do you accept yourself?
Why is self acceptance important?
What does it feel like to have self acceptance?

These are some of the questions we're answering in today's EMBODIED Self Love series episode.
We've already covered the first two principles of the EMBODIED Self Love Framework - Self Awareness (http://untameyourself.com/339) and Self Knowledge (http://untameyourself.com/340) - and now it's time for Self Awareness.

In today's episode I get into:
-Why we need self acceptance to have self love
-The energetic difference between approaching things in your life from an accepting place vs an non accepting place
-The difference between fighting against and fighting for things
-How it's easy to accept things when they go well or feel good - but the real work is accepting things when times are tought or not going the way you want
-The role of kindness, gentleness and forgiveness in self acceptance
-How to accept things about yourself that you feel shame about
-Specifically how to accept your body, as a woman, in a culture with so much programming around "what's ideal"
...and more.

Quotes:
We need self acceptance the most when it's the absolute hardest to do.

Real self love is going to respond with kindness, gentleness, forgiveness and compassion.

Forgiveness is energy work.

A lot of people's shittiest behaviors happen because they don't want to feel their shame, they don't want to be accountable and they don't want to feel how awful it feels to fully acknowledge the consequences of their behavior.

Self acceptance is like lube for healing, because it replaces friction and resistance with pleasure and ease. It's easier to move through things when we can accept aspects of them.

Part of self acceptance is to help release shame and forgiveness is one of the best ways to do that.

We are not responsible for other people's shame, though as decent humans, it's ok to be accountable and understand why and be accountable for it, if and when we trigger other people's shame through our actions, behaviors and choices.

It's not on us when people feel ashamed about something they should be ashamed of.

Where we are fragile is in the places where we're ashamed. If you can replace the fragile response, with an accepting response that includes accountability, you will be much safer for the world.

This work isn't just about being safer in the world, it's also about being safer for the world.

When you know yourself, know who you are , know your integrity, know what you stand for - you don't need to prove anything to anyone, you don't need to explain, you are willing to let people judge you, misunderstand you, project on you - and you don't have to take that on, you can just get busy doing whatever work you need to do to heal and do better.
