The Signs You Struggle With Self-Acceptance and Self-Love

Hello,

I used to think “self-love” was kind of a fluffy topic with no practical consequence.

Fortunately, I learned I was completely wrong many years ago.

The relationship you have with yourself is fundamental to the well-being of all relationships you have in your life.

Some examples of relationships in your life are: people, money, time, food, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, habits, and more.

Here are 3 quick signs that you have trouble truly loving and accepting yourself:

1️⃣ Self-criticism

Everyone has an inner critic. These are thoughts founded on beliefs like “I am unworthy” and “I’m not enough.”
A strong inner critic implies an unconscious habit of self-attacking and low self-acceptance.
We do this because we don’t feel our own heart and love. We are disconnected from our true essence and identified with our shame.

2️⃣ You’re always distracting yourself

If you can’t sit with yourself, this is a very clear sign that you don’t love and accept yourself.
Instead, you’re running away from and struggling against yourself.
Distraction is a way to numb the parts of us that we don’t want to see. We pretend they don’t exist, but deep down we know they’re there.

3️⃣ You’re very judgmental of others

The projection of “bad others” has a flip side: the sense of a “bad self.”
In order to escape our sense of “bad self” and self-criticism, we project it onto others.
Instead of accepting the pain inside of us and healing, we attack others.

When we are unable to accept who we are right now, in this very moment, we suffer.

It’s not a fluffy topic—it’s just a fact. When we can’t accept our current state, feelings, challenges, etc., we suffer.
