Practice radical acceptance and selflove from "summary" of The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton,Catherine A. Liszt
Radical acceptance and self-love are essential practices on the path to becoming an ethical slut. Radical acceptance involves fully embracing yourself and all your flaws, quirks, and unique characteristics. It means letting go of self-judgment and criticism, and instead, accepting yourself exactly as you are in this moment. This doesn’t mean that you can’t strive for personal growth or improvement, but rather that you approach yourself with kindness and compassion, recognizing that you are worthy of love and acceptance regardless of any perceived shortcomings. Self-love goes hand in hand with radical acceptance, as it involves actively caring for and nurturing yourself on a deep level. This includes taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental well-being, setting boundaries that honor your needs and desires, and treating yourself with the same kindness and respect that you would offer to a cherished friend. When you practice self-love, you are affirming your inherent worth and value, and this sense of self-worth radiates outwards, influencing how you interact with others and how you move through the world. By cultivating radical acceptance and self-love, you are laying the foundation for healthy and fulfilling relationships with others. When you are secure in your own worth and fully accepting of yourself, you are better equipped to engage authentically with others, without relying on external validation or approval to feel whole. This sense of inner security and self-assurance allows you to approach relationships from a place of abundance rather than lack, knowing that you are already complete and don’t need someone else to “complete” you. In the context of ethical non-monogamy, practicing radical acceptance and self-love becomes even more crucial. In a non-monogamous relationship, there are often multiple partners involved, each with their own unique needs, desires, and boundaries. By cultivating radical acceptance and self-love, you are better able to navigate the complexities of these relationships with honesty, compassion, and integrity. You are able to communicate your needs and boundaries clearly, while also respecting the needs and boundaries of your partners, creating a dynamic of mutual respect and understanding.- Radical acceptance and self-love are ongoing practices that require dedication, patience, and self-reflection. They are not about reaching a state of perfection or never experiencing self-doubt or insecurity, but rather about embracing your inherent humanity and imperfections with tenderness and grace. When you embody these practices in your daily life, you are better able to show up authentically in your
