Another good one @emmamia....lots to think about here. I grew up in an era where is was considered selfish to think of myself. So for years and years, I numbed feelings about myself and didn't understand or know what I was feeling.

I later learned to accept me for the way I was....me. Not what someone else said about me or how they misunderstood or judged me. I am me and I know me.

Taking care of myself physically, spiritually, mentally is loving myself.

If you want acceptance, you have to first accept yourself. This means that you recognize all your bad feeling, the thoughts of guilt, thoughts of anger, the thoughts of love, compassion and joy. All this is you.

Such a healthy way to see things. Thank you :)
