Community: Accepting yourself
Each week, we gather our community’s wisdom. This week, we asked:
What do you want to accept about yourself?
"My graying hair."
“My pain.”
"That I am myself, with all my dualities and flaws."
"The fact that I have to live further without my other half."
"That I have slowed down. As someone who worked multiple jobs in her early twenties, it's been difficult to manage that many projects now. And I keep thinking I'm not working hard enough because if I have done it once, I can probably do it again. But maybe I don't have it in me anymore, I'm a tired 30 year old and that should be OK too?"
"I want to accept that I won't always get it right on the first try, so I need to learn how to drop that expectation of perfection and just go for it."
“My anxiety.”
“My body.”
“I am my own person.”
“My body is perfect as it is, I’m enough.”
“My fear and using it as fuel to thrive.”
“My anxiety, feeling anxious doesn’t mean I’m not capable.”
“I’m taking longer to graduate from college and there’s nothing wrong with that.”
“That I can take on life alone, even if I don’t want to.”
“That being anxious in uncertainty is okay.”
“My scoliosis.”
“Moving on after a breakup.”
“My imperfections and inability to be perfect.”
“Being a very emotional person! I always denied this part of myself but I want to embrace it.”
“High energy 24/7”
“I like things to go my way.”
“My sensory overload issues.”
“That I can’t save or fix my family.”
“That I have let myself down. I never thought I’d be a stay at home mom and struggle with what I’m modeling.”
“That I don’t always have control over my emotions.”
“That maybe I’m always going to be lonely no matter how many friends I have.”
“That I’m not physically or mentally healthy right now.”
“My features.”
“Having a few friends in separate ambients and not a big friend group.”
“That I deserve love.”
“Social anxiety.”
“My mental illness.”
“I can be a little bit selfish sometimes.”
“That I’ll always be a ‘worrier.’”
“My loneliness or quiet personality.”
