Practice radical selfacceptance from "summary" of Daring to Take Up Space by Daniell Koepke
Radical self-acceptance means fully embracing all parts of yourself, even the ones you may have been taught to hide or suppress. It's about acknowledging your flaws, imperfections, and insecurities without judgment or shame. It's about recognizing that you are worthy of love and respect exactly as you are, without needing to change or conform to anyone else's standards. Practicing radical self-acceptance requires courage and vulnerability. It means facing your fears and insecurities head-on, and choosing to love yourself unconditionally, despite your perceived shortcomings. It means challenging the negative self-talk and limiting beliefs that may have been ingrained in you since childhood, and replacing them with self-compassion and kindness. Radical self-acceptance is not about becoming complacent or settling for less than you deserve. It's about empowering yourself to be your most authentic, true self, and to live a life that aligns with your values and beliefs. It's about setting boundaries, saying no when necessary, and prioritizing your own well-being and happiness. By practicing radical self-acceptance, you are not only showing yourself love and compassion, but you are also setting an example for others to do the same. You are breaking free from the chains of societal expectations and norms, and choosing to live a life that is authentic and true to who you are. You are paving the way for a more inclusive and accepting world, where everyone can feel comfortable being themselves without fear of judgment or rejection. In a world that constantly tells us we need to be more, do more, and achieve more in order to be worthy of love and acceptance, radical self-acceptance is a revolutionary act. It is a powerful reminder that you are enough, just as you are, and that your worth is not determined by external validation or approval. It is a journey of self-discovery and self-love, and a commitment to honoring your own uniqueness and individuality.
