Is it so hard to
accept who we are?
By Lee-Anne Peters
Yes it can be hard to
accept things about ourselves – why though? Wouldn’t it be natural for us to
approach ourselves with favour and care? Wouldn’t it be natural for us to
embrace our unique qualities?
I feel that when we
fell into duality / separation several thousand years ago that we, as a collective
society became disempowered and separate from everything – including ourselves.
We were forced into a box – to conform and fit in with everyone else – but how
can we really ever do that? If everyone is unique, individual and different
then how can we all be crammed into a box?

| Can you really fit yourself into the same box as everyone else? |
We were led to believe
that we had to be in that box or others would point or throw things at us for
being different or the ‘black sheep’ of the family?
What if all of those
ways are outdated, unnatural and disempowering? What if when we begin to genuinely
accept who we are more then these ‘difference’ actually became our most amazing
features? What if our life’s purpose is closely connected with those apparent ‘flaws’
- which in truth are our features?
Accepting who we are
can be a challenge, however it will help us love who we are and become more at
peace with our self and our life experience.
Notice, observe and
reflect on how you genuinely feel about you – not to judge or be harsh towards
you, but to find a NEW APPROACH, a NEW WAY to find ACCEPTANCE.
If you’re feeling ‘off’
towards you, then it is encouraged that you spend extra time in self
nourishment. Perhaps taking a hot bath, doing some journal writing, or perhaps
take a walk – some time to really connect with you so you can SHIFT THINGS.

FEEL for the best way.
As you get to know yourself more, you will find it easier to approach your self
care. Then you can enjoy more time feeling loving and accepting towards
yourself, others and your life, and less time worrying, concerning yourself
with others or focusing on your ‘flaws’.
