What We Accept About Ourselves

I am grateful to discover what I accept about myself.

Everyone I know is grateful to discover what they accept about themselves.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is grateful to discover what they accept about themselves.
—————

Sometimes, what we accept about ourselves is not positive nor productive.

The habit of accepting it perpetuates itself as long as we do not challenge it.

We are protecting the very thing we want to replace.

The way to replace it is to observe what the negative language is saying.

Then we can choose what we prefer to accept about ourselves and begin replacing it every time we notice that we are saying the old language.

This is a simple, but powerful way of addressing a long-term negative habit.

It has remained hidden and has been taking away the good life we could be living.

As soon as we begin our consistent replacement process, our life can take a new direction.

The more persistent we are, the sooner the old language fades and we can keep taking our next tiny steps until we arrive at our first goal.

The new habit we have built can be refined for any situation we wish to change.

We can lift ourselves out of it, as we continue to practice telling ourselves about the life we desire.

Some old habits are quicker to replace than others.

If we have accepted something negative for a very long time, it may take longer to change our language about it consistently.

But even long-term habits yield with the good feeling the new language brings us.

Take a look and your life and the language you use to describe yourself in it, and implement the changes you want to see.
