As a holistic health coach, I’ve come to know that when it comes to creating the change we desire for ourselves, cultivating Self Acceptance is the fundamental piece . Without a high level of self acceptance we will lack what it truly takes to take constructive empowered action in our lives.
The problem with Self Improvement is that it makes our self acceptance conditional . We can’t feel like we are truly okay until ......... Our efforts to better ourselves no matter how correct and sensible can feel like being on a hamster wheel. Self Acceptance is here and NOW - no conditions, no standards. It doesn't mean we're ignoring the things we would like to change, we just aren't including them in our equation of inherent worth and acceptability.
Self Acceptance doesn't makes us lazy, idle or complacent. All the research points to the fact that Self Acceptance is what actually sets the stage for growth and real change.
In this special solo show, I share some key strategies for why and how we need to make this important shift when it comes to stepping into our full personal power to create the health and wellbeing we truly desire.
