“I suppose it's not a social norm, and not a manly thing to do - to feel, discuss feelings. So that's what I'm giving the finger to. Social norms and stuff...what good are social norms, really? I think all they do is project a limited and harmful image of people. It thus impedes a broader social acceptance of what someone, or a group of people, might actually be like.” PeopleThinkingGivingFeelsFeelingsBodyMightSocialStuffRelationshipGroupsAcceptanceProjectsFingersThings To DoNormManlySocial NormsSocial Acceptance Book:Trouble (poetry, contemporary) Source: Trouble (poetry, contemporary)

“Once in awhile throughout the day...let go into full acceptance of the present moment, including how you are feeling and what you perceive to be happening... Give yourself permission to allow this moment to be exactly as it is, and allow yourself to be exactly as you are. Then, when you're ready, move in the direction your heart tells you to go, mindfully and with resolution.” GivingHeartMomentsFeelingsMovingAcceptanceReadyLetting GoHappeningsIncludingPerceivePresent MomentResolutionPermission Author:Jon Kabat-Zinn
“Self-acceptance begins in infancy, with the influence of your parents and siblings and other important people. Your own level of self-acceptance is determined largely by how well you feel you are accepted by the important people in your life. Your attitude toward yourself is determined largely by the attitudes that you think other people have toward you. When you believe that other people think highly of you, your level of self-acceptance and self-esteem goes straight up. The best way to build a healthy personality involves understanding yourself and your feelings.” PeopleThinkingWayFeelsBelieveWellsImportantSelfFeelingsParentUnderstandingLevelsAttitudeInfluenceSelf EsteemAcceptancePersonalityHealthyDeterminedAcceptedBest WayEsteemSelf AcceptanceSiblingInfancyPeople In Your LifeStraight UpUnderstanding Yourself Author:Brian Tracy
