Quote by Harriet Lerner

“Our society doesn’t promote self-acceptance and it never will. First of all, self-acceptance doesn’t sell products. Capitalism would fall if we liked ourselves the way we are now.”

“I come from a worried people. These people worry and are overly cautious. The worried people are very suggestive and read the side effects on every medication to make sure they experience all of them, even the side effects experienced by the placebo people. If it only happens in males, my female people will figure out a way to have that side effect, too. My people worry out of love, though.”

“It’s important to think of self-acceptance as something related to your present state. It means accepting yourself as you are at this very moment. It doesn’t mean, “I would love myself more if I lost ten pounds,” or “I accepted myself when I was 20 years younger.”

Mindfulness Self Acceptance

Author:Anne Poirier

“I'm accepting all the emotions. I try to recognize what's going on, because I'm the only one who can feel [it], and so what I'm trying to do is, whenever I feel--discover this negative emotion, I tell myself, 'I believe you. I'm believing myself. This is what happened.' [...] I just accept it and listen to myself.”

“We are each one being with access to multiple dimensions guiding us toward our full human potential. The soul is vast and endless. The ego is actively on guard, yet also necessary to befriend. The body is a rich source of information along the path towards self-awareness, and the psyche works creatively towards permeability across ordinary and extraordinary states of consciousness. The spiritual realm is available, loving, and supportive, should we choose to open ourselves to receive it. Life is a continuum of all things seen and unseen, dancing and interacting as one reality, revealing itself to us as we reveal ourselves to it.”

“Expectations, most often of myself, are the bane of my existence. It’s a constant battle.”

Self Acceptance

Author:Ted Rubin

“I was in love with myself, there by the water, but not like Narcissus, unheeding of others. Instead, feeling so at home in my body freed my attention to turn outwards, fully and forever. We are taught so often that love of self is shameful and should be curbed, but I believe now insecurity makes in us a distracting background noise that drowns out the precious here and now.”
