Self appreciation

Why is it so important to accept oneself?
First of all, it is because our cells work after the principle of self love/appreciation. It is the driving force in every single cell from the moment when the egg cell is fertilized. Negative feelings and thoughts about ourselves reduce the life energy.

Many years ago, I came across a book about how important it is to accept oneself the way we are. It was really a door opener for me, I discovered how important it is to be oneself and not the way other people expected of me, or what the fashion or the perception in the society say we ought to be. The western culture is constantly pushing upon us ways of how we should look... The door into self love is always self acceptance about how we are the way we are born.

Being honest with oneself, by stopping and reflecting, open up our eyes to see others also. Admitting that you do things that does not serve, really make you grow! The important thing is not to pull yourself down by what you find, but actively work to change your attitude - or to use this method to let go of old pain and thus negative thinking.
It is not selfish, but the opposite. It always has to be done in humbleness and to achieve non-selfish ways of being.

The book about this method is showing the way to good health

To dare to do things that you know are right for you even if you know that other people expect something else. – It leads to that we grow into our SELF. Then you humbly choose to be the way you are without being afraid.
Self Love without being selfish leads to good life and health. Remember, the driving force in every single cell is self love! When we are humble and proud to be ourselves, knowing all good values that lead to a good life, not only for yourself, but for everybody else also.
It is very important to know right from wrong. Deep inside everybody knows this, but it is very easy to lie to ourselves when we want to achieve something.
The wounds of the soul prevents us from self appreciation, so the path to get there goes like suggested on these pages. The more we grow into true, humble self appreciation, the more we let go of negative thoughts about our selves and thus about others so that we allow them to be where they are on their path.
