4 : Accept yourself!!
Acceptance is the ability to unconditionally value all parts of who you are. That means you acknowledge all of yourself--the good and the things that need improvement. For most of us, self-acceptance can be hard.
Accepting yourself means less negative self criticism and an awareness of your strengths, weaknesses, values and needs. This awareness offers clarity and the ability to improve.
Why it is hard to accept ourselves- Accepting ourselves unconditionally is difficultbecause we must give up the fantasy that if we punish ourselves enough with negative thoughts, we'll change. It's as if we think we can whipourselves into shape by saying things like: I'm weak for feeling any anxiety.
Accept yourself with all the good and bad quality. It's not that you have only the bad quality. That's why self love is important. It helps you to over come your insecurities about yourself. When you are clear of what you have good and bad. You can improve yourself.
