How to fully embrace and accept who you are

Embrace & accept yourself 

I have experienced many negative situations and embarked on a healing process that took me through a journey, I needed to face it. Honoring my feelings and healing the trauma I went through has been essential to fully loving and accepting my authentic self. I've spent many days turning to a spiritual practice that has lead me to fully embracing who I am as a person.

I thank a person who is a close friend of mine telling me with honesty and caring nature that I am a rock chick as he remembers me being that many years ago and I needed to continue to embrace that, it shows my confidence in who I deserve to be each day. Knowing the universe had my back means that you fully trust the universe by using a prayer from a book called Dear Universe by Sarah Prout the doors of the universe opens up and gives you the guidance you need. We need to quiet the ego voice of fear and cultivate compassion toward yourself to improve every area of your life. Be kind to yourself each day change how you behave towards yourself and dress in a way that fully expresses who you are. 

We get knocked out of alignment and it's important to embrace compassion towards yourself. You can show up for yourself and the world in a more powerful way because you’re not pouring energy into self-judgment and self-attack. 

Compassion is a superpower we can all cultivate. This practice comes more easily to some people than others, and that’s okay. Honor your process when you are compassionate toward yourself, you allow yourself to be vulnerable. And that’s incredibly important. Your authentic truth is your magnificence. Your willingness to let the world see you in truth is your greatest contribution. 

What does it mean to be compassionate toward yourself? How can you practice self-compassion in your daily life?

For a long time I thought of compassion as something we give to someone else. But I hadn’t thought about showing myself compassion. I’d been talking about it for a few years, but it took a long time for me to fully understand it and incorporate it into my own practice. Thanks to a friend reminded me to embrace my true authentic self wearing my rock star look and embracing the fact that this is who I am regardless of the situation I went through. I am blessed to have such a good friend who reminds me not to let my past traumatic experience of abuse destroy the true me. 

Steps to take 

Step 1 

 a psychological acupressure technique that supports your emotional health. I have found that EFT is one of the greatest ways to address the root cause of emotional issues that live below the surface of our judgment.

The practice of EFT asks that you tap on specific energy meridians on your body while talking about the problem or issue that you want to resolve. Allowing yourself to emote while simultaneously tapping on the energy points sends a signal to the brain that it’s safe to relax. Our fear response, which is controlled by the amygdala, is lessened.

This practice will help you heal the triggers, wounds and traumas that live underneath your self-judgment.

Step 2 

The process of compassion begins with self-talk. How would you speak to an innocent child if they were coming out of a meltdown? Think about it, the loving words and energy you would offer them. Then apply this same degree of love to yourself.

Take a moment to write down some ways that you could speak to yourself compassionately. For instance, when I notice myself stuck in a spiritual assignment or judgment, I allow myself to feel the feelings of rage and anger, and then I notice that those feelings come from a sense of not being lovable. The fear comes from a belief that I’m not good enough. Upon realizing these feelings I take time to compassionately guide myself back to self-love.

When I do this, my inner wisdom, my highest authentic self, can come forward and can show up for that weak, wounded ego part of myself that is still unable to see the light (my diamond self). These simple words can catapult me into a place of calm. This is a practice of self-soothing, self-love and self-compassion. 

In that dialogue, you will come back to a place of deep love, compassion and peace, because you’re allowing yourself to be wherever you are in whatever is happening the spiritual assignment we experience. You’re not resisting. You are allowing, and you are trusting that the Universe is giving you what you need in order to heal.

I worked with a teacher who showed me how to be compassionate toward myself every day. She taught me a very simple practice that has enormous impact thanks to Gabrielle Bernstein. It immediately restores a sense of peace. Now I’m sharing this practice with you. I hope it serves you, let me know how you  found your authentic self in the comments. Want more??
