Reclaiming Self-Acceptance

[@iamvanshine]

45 minutes of gold! I love this perspective shift on how to practically engage with self-acceptance. Making art, actioning steps towards goals, and now also growing in acceptance and self-acceptance are threads connected by a concept I am becoming awakened to - putting energy and focus into process, not product 💛

This was very lovely and helpful. Thank you so much for making this. I'm a trans person and have to navigate what I want or can change about myself and what is better for me to accept. More so now being a person that is inclined towards poly. These two parts of my identity really make my dating pool particularly small. I've compromised on both for so much of my life that self-acceptance has really been a process of yes grieving some ideas of the way I thought my life might go. Things are much harder in many ways but as I tell people "it's been the worst of times but in so many more ways it's been the best of times." Authenticity is a gamble, there's are a variety of reasons why people decide against it. Valid reasons. I see this play out with parents who feel like they're not allowed to admit that being a parent sucks sometimes. A little bit of validation can go a long way. I like your blending of eastern philosophy and modern psychology. Sometimes I feel like eastern philosophy nerds and spiritual people are speaking a vague language I just don't understand and everyone agrees just to not feel dumb. (lol can you tell I've got a religious cult in my history haha. ) I think there is a lot of wisdom in eastern philosophy but I like it when people can show me their math and it makes sense. Keep at it! Excited for you to hit 5 and 6-figure views!
