#acceptingyourself

[zenwords]

The greatest purpose that jealousy serves is letting you know that you aren’t loving and accepting yourself enough. Emotional maturity is seeing the success of another and feeling inspired instead of feeling jealous. Jealousy leaves the imprints of craving and aversion in the subconscious of the mind, because you crave what someone else has and you feel the tension of aversion because you don’t have the thing you crave. The self-centeredness of jealousy is reinforced because all you can think of is yourself. It helps to remember that people move at different speeds, even when we have similar goals, how and when we get to our goals is a unique journey. Sympathetic joy, feeling joy when you see the success of others, is the opposite of jealousy. — Yung Pueblo #jealousy #livingYourself #acceptingYourself #emotionalMaturity #yungPueblo https://www.instagram.com/p/CeHhzhvOF0k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel.

Audrey Hepburn

It’s taken me a long time to start to work on accepting the fact that I enjoy my alone time and to start to understand there is nothing wrong with that.  My whole life I’ve always felt like there was something wrong with me because I would rather stay home alone with the freedom to do anything or nothing at all than to attend parties or go out socializing.  

Working and socializing throughout the week wears my energy down so much that I NEED that alone time to recover.  It is vital, and what I’m working on now is to have the ability to not make excuses for that, to own it and understand that if the people around me can’t accept that about me then that’s a problem I don’t own the responsibility for solving.

One of the hardest things for people to do is to accept themselves. Whether it is physically or psychologically this can be an issue for many. The photo below is infused with #Reiki for Accepting Yourself for anyone who may have a challenge with this issue. Here is the link to Reiki for Accepting Yourself video, https://bit.ly/3efYdCj (on Instagram link to video in bio under Community link ) To use the energy from the photo/video, close your eyes, sit back and relax.

Our path is not linear. Life is not simple. Letting go of preconceived ideas is never easy.

PETER RABBIT

He remembers one night – when Peter was about twelve summers old – that he and his best friend were sitting in the light of the dusk, puffing a found cigarette butt and talking about love.Peter’s pal was excited about the prospect of kissing a girl – a human girl – and although Peter went along with the conversation, he couldn’t stop himself feeling empty and lonely inside. Peter wanted to tell…

[nxiousxpsistence]

Right...

So it’s been I really don’t know how long since I wrote something / since I wrote something about myself / since I wrote about something real / since I produced something honest / since I was honest with myself.

Time has been elusive lately. I don’t remember much about the last three months. I got taken over by the same hands writing this now that has allowed me to live / to see / to be for only short periods of time during the way or week.

Time is moving at a different pace every day. I feel like I haven’t slept-slept for months now. The overload-crash-overload cycle is real.

Writing this showed me why. Some time ago, I was in an ADHD Coaching session (one of the pay-what-you-can deals, from ADHD UK) and there were adults with ADHD on my screen (even that is amazing as in [redacted], you don’t talk about being “deficient” in anything, let alone your attention). I saw some little faces in the screens looking around, some little hands working on / playing with something and the speaker? Oh! The Speaker! 

There were moments where he had to stop, as he lost his train of thought.

HE STOPPED A FEW TIMES ALONG THE WAY TO GATHER HIS THOUGHTS.

There were moments where he forgot where he was completely.

HE SAID “OH WELL” AND MOVED ON TO A DIFFERENT SUBJECT.

And the best part? He was fine with it. We were fine with it. It was OK.

IT WAS F*CKING OK!

Well...

1) I’m an interpreter/translator, right? I write and listen and speak for a living. The more I am meticulous in removing any obstacles in communication, the more I earn. The more I make the cycle of troubleshoot-optimise-repeat continuous, the more satisfaction I get from what I produce.

2) And I’m from [redacted] and that is apparently a bigger part of my identity than I thought. I came this far thinking I was white. Yeah. Old habits die hard, but they do die eventually if you try hard enough. 

Being a [redacted] means that you have to conform absolutely whenever you are in public. This may be a thing of my generation (19[redacted]s), but if you are in a class, you pay attention. If you’re in a meeting, you listen or at least pretend to listen. Zoom has been harder on my people (maybe my generation of [redacted]s) because anxiety over being afk when you’ve been asked a question was hell for them. I’ve been working for 18 years and never have I heard someone [redacted] come out and say “Well, I don’t understand what you mean by that” or “Oh, I don’t know that”. It’s as if everyone must have all the answers and keep up with the conversation at all times.

3) And you guessed it! I have ADHD and my work is either my cure or my downfall for that. Only in interacting with multiple media at the same time and being painstakingly loyal to repeating what I hear/see/write verbatim am I able to perform well or at all. I once earned a lot for doing nothing but sitting between two people talking for 9 hours a day for 3 days and it was hell for me. I would pinch myself to stay awake and attentive. And in my work, If I miss one word in a single sentence, it bugs me. I used to feel bad about a single mistranslated sentence which I couldn’t correct at the time for days (now it’s only minutes). Gaps in my knowledge used to give me palpitations (now I just learn more).

So yeah, my life did change when I saw people “making mistakes” publicly 

not making mistakes (Mark’s voice here), but being themselves

accepting communication as something human, human as something prone to imperfection, and imperfection as something free of any judgment

not masking any urge coming from within.

AND BEING OK WITH IT! AND PEOPLE AROUND YOU BEING OK WITH IT?

This changed my life. So all these years, I could have just let it go? And that would have been accepted not in [redacted] maybe, but somewhere?

Oh the conversations I would have interrupted - sometimes I just can’t listen.

Oh the times I would just say “Could you repeat that?” rather than overworking my mind not to lose my focus.

Oh the games I would have played while in a meeting.

Oh the lies I would have never needed!

And that realisation opened a door. I accepted my flaws and said, “This is who I am, this is who I have been”. I lose the track of time sometimes, sometimes days on end. I am interested in too many things and can’t stick to one and I will tell you all about them. I work myself to exhaustion just to get paralyzed for extended periods of time. I can’t do anything out of confusion for days. I need to share whatever I can share with whoever is with me - I think the word “overshare” will not age well, but that’s another post. I never stop, like literally. I haven’t relaxed in months. My mind is simultaneously in the past, the present, and the future. Sometimes, it is difficult for me to talk to people because I know what they are going to say and they take too f*cking long. I hate! hate! hate! mornings and I can never keep time unless it is for something that is worthy of my hyperfocus. I never know how to reply to honest conversation and even know less about responding to cricitism or appreciation. AND THAT IS OK.

And accepting it was OK meant that I was free to unmask it all. And unmasked they have been! I don’t constantly hunt down my “flaws” to correct them any more, so they run amok. I’ve missed two deadlines just this week. Confusion is still there and I watch it happen. I dissociate during conversations and I let people know. What I mean is, I do what I CAN, not what I somehow superhumanly need to force myself to do and hance the flare in my symptoms (or in the real me?).

It’s not like I’m getting treatment for it or anything, right? RIGHT?

You are more than your trauma, more than the worst thing you’ve survived. Your story has depth and breadth, will be an anchor for you and a life raft for others. The harm can be transformed, but just so, your joy can be transformative, your kindness, and creativity, and love. I’m glad you lived to tell about it. I hope you get to know all of you. ✨ [image text: Who are you outside of your resilience, aside from your ability to survive the unspeakable?

Finding the right partner can make life beautiful, but only if you add to that beauty by doing your own inner work. Society has fed us the false story that a good partner can solve everything for us, that falling in love is the answer to our problems, but it is that type of mentality that causes many connections to break. We expect deep emotional solutions from each other that can only come from intentionally processing our own past. Feeling whole and loving yourself does not come from a relationship, it is something you have to spark from within. The type of security that’s truly life changing emerges from your healing and growth. The most profound happiness is not given, it is created by accepting yourself. A good partner can certainly share their joy with us, but we have to have our own inner joy to fully receive it. — Yung Pueblo #lovingYourself #relationships #healing #growth #acceptingYourself #yungPueblo https://www.instagram.com/p/CikYwgaubTl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A perfectionist person also can say:

"Sometimes and probably most of the time we need to ACCEPT and not to be PERFECT anymore over all things we struggle for. We are trying, learning, and also striving anything only for ACCEPTING. This is a need as we can never be such a PERFECT human being."

BE CONFIDENT: Too many days are wasted comparing ourselves to others and wishing to be something we aren't. Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is only when you accept everything you are and aren't, that you will truly succeed. #loveyourself Photocred: Follow my boo @queeeen2be @queeeenproduction #haveconfidence When you are confident, people become confident in you. ・・・ You don't need to be pretty like them. You can be pretty like you! #selfacceptance No amount of self-improvement can make up for any lack of self-acceptance. #acceptyourself Instead of wishing you were someone else, be proud of who you are. You never know who has been looking at you and wishing the same. #acceptingyourself Admire someone else's beauty without questioning your own. #therealglowup Love yourself instead of loving the idea of other people loving you. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🔥Follow 👉🏾@troubledontlast👈🏾 for more🔥 Turn On Post Notification Like - Comment - Share - Save Comment what you think is missing . .

We are never any less than whole; we are simply evolving.

[murphy-who]

the beauty in getting lost:

“most people think its the great founding of yourself, but really what if thats what you want to believe?

what if you never truly found yourself, but rather another depiction of yourself?

another chapter perhaps?

the fear of not being able to survive if you dont accomplish it would then haunt you for the regret of not achieving what others have would integrate with your shadow,

and maybe eventually become a part of you.

but who am i to judge what you have and havent accomplished in this life

we are after all just specks of dust in this rather big universe

but i think thats where the beauty lies.

realizing how small you are, and yet still able to do so many things that actually mean something to yourself

realizing that it was never about “finding” yourself, but rather

accepting yourself.” —earlier this afternoon
