Pillar Five: Growing Self-Acceptance
How to have self-acceptance in your marriage: Growing self-acceptance is not easy. You may believe you accept yourself but, in your heart and mind, you judge, criticize, blame, and second-guess everything you do and every decision you make. You can be tempted to avoid noticing these internal self-rejecting messages by binge-watching TV, overeating snacks, shopping, overworking, drinking or doing drugs too much.
Even caretaking others can be a distraction from hearing the negative voices of self-rejection. Being in unacceptance and rejection of yourself can even numb you from creating the life you really desire. And you are not alone…most people are doing this, daily. It becomes a habit we do not notice.
This Pillar is focused on:
- Bringing light onto your false beliefs and patterns from past traumas that helped create self-rejection within you
- Transforming co-dependent behaviours that keep you stuck in unacceptance of yourself
- Discovering how self-rejection has helped create unfulfilling relationships, self-sabotage and unhappiness
Using this Pillar in your relationships, you will be able to:
- Learn to truly accept and love yourself despite your perceived shortcomings
- Use your new beliefs and patterns to accept yourself even when you “fail or make a mistake”
- Transform how you think of yourself moment-to-moment, so you are living from an empowered place in all your relationships
Questions to ask yourself in growing your self-acceptance
- Do I feel worthy to be loved and to love others?
- I know I am valuable, useful and of value.
- I can easily give and receive, knowing I am a worthy person.
- I am productive and have achieved success to the best of my ability.
- I make the best use of my time to achieve what is important to me.
- I know inwardly that I have done my best, not the best in the eyes of my parents, partner or other people.
- I am capable of being creative, a risk-taker and optimistic in life.
- I am expressive, imaginative, and able to take risks.
- I am hopeful and positive in life and see the best in situations.
By taking the time to focus on yourself, you can maintain your own well-being while also strengthening your marriage. So don’t be afraid to begin accepting yourself, your quirky ways, and your irritating ways.
Being in acceptance and kindness of yourself can begin creating the life you really desire from your inner compass, purpose and inner voice.
Experience the wonders of everydayness, and maximize your potential for the overall emotional, mental, physical, financial and spiritual well-being as an individual and in your empowered marriage.
