Self-acceptance

Self-acceptance is defined as “an individual’s acceptance of all of their attributes, positive or negative.” When we’re self-accepting, we embrace every part of ourselves, not just the “positive” things! Self-acceptance is unconditional—you can recognize weaknesses, but still fully accept yourself. To be self-accepting is to feel satisfied with who you are, despite flaws and regardless of past choice. Self-acceptance is related to happiness; the more accepting you are of yourself, the more happiness you accept and enjoy. Other benefits include a decrease in depressive symptoms, the desire to be approved by others, fear of failure, and self-critique, as well as an increase in positive emotions, sense of freedom, self-worth, autonomy, and self-esteem. We did that in our meditation class with @Shriram Kumar B @Teju Reddy @Rachana @Neha @Vinod pawar @anita @Jayshree @Yogesh Dharmadhikari @Sandeep Kour
