TODAY'S LEARNING
How To Accept Yourself

Try self-forgiveness

If you’ve hurt people in the past or acted in ways you’re not proud of, forgiving yourself can feel hard. However, this does not imply that you support your actions. Rather, it signifies that you own up to your mistakes, accept responsibility, and are allowing yourself to move on.

Some therapists employ the following strategy to assist clients in practicing self-forgiveness:

responsibility

 remorse

 restoration

 renewal

Practice self-compassion

Self-compassion involves giving yourself warmth and understanding during difficult times or when you feel inadequate.

Some ways to practice self-compassion include:

Talking to yourself like you would to a friend.

Put your wishes for self-help in writing.

Considering the bigger picture of your position.

Engaging in self-care such as meditation, exercise, and healthy eating.

Lean into mindfulness

Even though we frequently have no control over the events in our lives, we may make an effort to live more deliberately every day when we wake up.

For example, you may try making a goal for the next day every night. You can get direction by doing something as easy as scheduling your wake-up time and taking a stroll before work.

If you want to tackle a bigger purpose like finding your dream job, you might try adding in job searching or updating your resume to the day.

Applaud your abilities

Perhaps your pals come to you when they need someone to listen to them out, or you bake a mean apple pie. Or maybe you have a green thumb or are a diligent worker.

Anytime you feel proud of yourself, you may take a moment to jot down all of your strengths, no matter how big or tiny.

Read the list out loud to yourself if you find it difficult to recognize the positive aspects of yourself.

Ignore your inner critic

It's simple to listen to your negative ideas and be your own harshest critic.

But if you notice yourself starting to criticize yourself, try pausing, taking a step back, and considering what you would say to a buddy going through a similar experience.

Cultivate your inner circle

Nothing compares to having relatives and friends you can confide in and share your darkest secrets, worries, and hilarious anecdotes with. Feeling accepted can be achieved by surrounding yourself with people who accept you for who you are.

Online forums and support groups also contain individuals who share similar views.

Realize acceptance is not settling

It's not that you're settling for less when you accept your shortcomings and mistakes. As a matter of fact, being aware of your limitations is beneficial to your mental health.

For instance, instead of focusing on how impatient you are with children, embrace how well you connect with older individuals by visiting your grandparents often or volunteering at a nursing home.

TODAY'S POSITIVE NEWS

German Zoo Honors Little Lynx’s Wish to be Free After Repeat Escape Attempts

Despite being brought up in the Nuremberg Zoo a young Carpathian lynx named Chapo was born to be wild.

Respecting his wishes, the German zookeepers abandoned their intention to raise him to eventually contribute his genes to a vital captive breeding program and release him into the wilds of Germany.

Now residing in the forests of Saxony, he joins a steadily growing population of wild lynx across Germany and Switzerland that are slinking back across the acreage they prowled long ago.

ZEN STORY
A Parable

Buddha told a parable in a sutra:

A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.

Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!
