Self-acceptance is defined as “an individual’s acceptance of all of his/her attributes, positive or negative.” It includes body acceptance, self-protection from negative criticism, and believing in one’s capacities. -Harvard health publishing.
When we’re self-accepting, we embrace every part of ourselves, not just the “positive” things! Self-acceptance is unconditional—you can recognise weaknesses, but still fully accept yourself.
Practicing acceptance of ourselves can have an incredible impact on our wellbeing!
