1. SELF ACCEPTANCE & IT’S ROLE IN RELATIONSHIP

2. WHAT IS SELF ACCEPTANCE? Self-acceptance is the act of accepting yourself and all your personality traits exactly as they are. You accept them no matter whether they are positive or negative. This includes your physical and mental attributes. It doesn’t just mean accepting our negative qualities and giving up on changing them. On the contrary, it means being aware of our weaknesses without having any emotional attachment to them. This self-awareness can help us improve our behavior and build better habits.

3. COMMON SELF- ACCEPTANCE OBSTACLES 1. You aren’t surrounded by positive, healthy relationships A major obstacle to self-love is toxic people. If you are surrounded by people who drain your energy and have a negative outlook, you’re going to struggle to practice self-love. 2. Feelings of guilt and selfishness It is common to feel like self-love is selfish. This can lead to feelings of guilt when you attempt to focus more on yourself. It’s a necessity for your health and wellbeing and isn’t selfish so you absolutely shouldn’t feel guilty for that. 3. Needing to be perfect When you feel like everything must be perfect, you aren’t going to be happy when you fall short. So, try and let go of your need to be perfect. Understand what draws your perfectionism and identify your triggers. Remember, nobody is perfect, not even you!

4. An outstanding love doesn’t come from two half-fulfilled people coming together to make one whole, complete life. Outstanding love comes from two whole people coming together to share and enhance their already full and beautiful lives.” ~ Pia Scade WHY SELF-ACCEPTANCE IS IMPORTANT IN RELATIONSHIP? 1. When we accept ourselves, we are more likely to attract partners who accept us for who we are. 2. Self-acceptance can help us set healthy boundaries and communicate effectively with our partners. 3.
