A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance

We all want it— to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach.36 Heres a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.

37    Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them？Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs？Know that your life is your own;you are the only you in this world.

Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings， our mistakes and our failures.     38     You will make mistakes， time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better， why not offer yourself a compassionate（有同情心）response？ “That didnt go as planned. But， I tried my best.”

Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job， earned your degree， and you got out of bed today.     39

Now that youve listed your strengths， list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy， why you dont feel good enough. Now， read these words back to yourself.     40     Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are？

选项B. Where do you start？是一个特殊疑问句。它的意思是“你应该从哪里开始呢？” 该选项后面可能会告诉你应该从哪里开始。

选项C. Nothing is too small to celebrate. 其意思是“哪怕再小的事情都值得庆祝。”

选项 D. Remember， you are only human. 是一个祈使句，很有可能就是某个语段的主题句，其意思是“请你记住你只是人（不是神仙）。”

选项E. Set an intention for self-acceptance. 也是一个祈使句，很有可能就是某个语段的主题句，其意思是“为接纳自己设定一个意图”。
