Self-acceptance

I've been healing around unconditional love and acceptance, and had a breakthrough with the Mirror Exercise I'd like to share.

I realized I had a limiting belief confusing 'accepting' with 'permitting.' I found that I wasn't accepted in many places, but I was 'permitted' but this didn't feel good.

So I did the Mirror Exercise around it and found a misaligned place within myself that was not accepting myself, and instead kind of pushing myself to the side and snubbing myself deep down.

In my realization, the term "permitting" was about saying "well, we don't like you, but we'll permit you to be here out of pity. We tolerate you, but think poorly of you." That doesn't feel like love at all.

True acceptance feels more to me like, "I like you, I love you, I want you to be here. You belong."

Love isn't love unless it's complete and whole.

I gave myself the truth, and unconditionally loved and accepted myself just where I was.

I am desired. I love myself for who I am right now, and who I am becoming. I belong.
