One of the hardest phrases to say outloud is "I love and accept myself".
The reason this phrase is so hard to say outloud is because we know ourselves. We know our failings. We know our mistakes. We know where we have fallen short.
To say "I love and accept myself" feels like I am also accepting all of those failing and imperfections.
Recently I was talking to my friend Brad Yates and we were talking about why self acceptance is so hard. He said something along the lines of "We believe if we just fixed ourselves then we can accept ourselves. It is the other way around, healing begins with self acceptance."
Recently I have been trying a new self acceptance tapping practice.
It is the single scariest tapping practice I have ever done. The idea came from a podcast interview with the rapper and musician MAVI done by Jesse Thorn on the podcast Bullseye.
He talked about a practice had started doing where he was saying nice things about himself while doing something else. This "something else" takes self acceptance to a whole new level.
For the last few months I have been doing this practice a few times a week while adding tapping.
It is the single scariest tapping practice I have ever done. The first time I tried it I could barely do it for 30 seconds.
This week in the podcast I share:
- What the practice is
- How it has transformed the way I see myself (in great ways)
- How you can do something similar without having to go to the extreme that I have
Even if you don't try this, you are going to want to listen to this as it will help you to transform your relationship with yourself.
