Learning to be OK with all the pieces of you can be hard, but with some practice, you can learn the art of self-acceptance
Learning to accept yourself for who you are can bring peace and calm to your life
1. Forgive yourself
If you’ve acted in ways you’re not proud of, forgiving yourself can feel hard. But doing so does not mean you condone your behavior.
Instead, it means you accept what you’ve done, take responsibility, and are giving yourself permission to move on
2. Practice self-compassion
Self-compassion involves giving yourself warmth and understanding during difficult times or when you feel inadequate.
3. Use present moment awareness and mindfulness
For instance, each night you might try creating a purpose for the following day.
Something as simple as setting a time to wake up and going on a walk before you work can give you direction.
4. Acknowledge and love your abilities
Whatever your strengths are — no matter how small or big — you could write them down as a way to applaud yourself.
Whenever you’re slow to see what’s praiseworthy about yourself, you can read the list aloud.
5. Ignore your inner critic
It’s easy to be your own worst critic and listen to your negative thoughts.
But when you feel self-criticism coming on, you can try to put it on hold, take a step back, and think about what you would tell a friend who was thinking.
6. Connect with loved ones who appreciate you
There’s nothing like family and friends you can trust and share your deepest thoughts, concerns, and funny stories with.
Surrounding yourself with people who welcome you for who you are is a great way to feel accepted
7. Move on from disappointments
When your hopes and dreams aren’t met, it’s easy to feel disappointed.
However, allowing yourself to feel disappointed is healthy. Moving on when you’re ready can also help.
8. Gain perspective on your limitations
Accepting your flaws and failures does not mean you’re settling for less. In fact, knowing your limitations can go a long way for mental well-being.
• Do you want to be happy, achieve more and suffer less?
• Do you want to know why you shouldn't believe what you see on Instagram?

1. Seek positive friends.
