Be your own number one and never apologize for who you are. Open up to your authentic self and live your authenticity. Your authenticity comes from self acceptance. It is being happy with who you are. Self acceptance is key to a happy, fulfilling life.

Have you ever noticed that when you see a person expressing themselves with self acceptance, that you feel a sense of acceptance for what they are doing too? This is one of the gifts of living an authentic life. When you have complete self acceptance, you can express yourself fearlessly. When others sense that you are being authentic, they naturally accept you, just as you accept yourself. It doesn�t mean they must agree with everything you say. But, they accept you for who you are and know that you are being real with them.
The key to developing self-acceptance is acknowledging what is in place, what is working, and having gratitude for that.

It�s about turning your focus toward what you have instead of harboring a sense of scarcity and always focusing on what seems to be missing. When you live with the constant feeling that you don�t have enough, you�ll be seen that way, too; and you�ll cultivate more of it. It�s not attractive to others, and it doesn�t attract more of anything to you except more scarcity. (A good way to attract scarcity is to walk around thinking, ��But I�m so different from everyone. I just don�t fit in.��)

Practice these principles and be your own number one.  Connect with the essence of who you are and work at overcoming any fears that stop you from accepting the fact that you are an extraordinary person, just as you are. Speak your truth openly and fearlessly knowing that to the degree you accept yourself, the world will accept you as well.

Love and Light,

Thanks Kris.

Hi Kris,

I love this post - this feels exactly what I am working to align to in my life right now.  Many of my arenas give me plenty of opportunities to own myself, my thoughts, feelings, and experiences.  I had a few sleepless nights up north second guessing myself and wondering whether I had made the right decisions re: patient care.  After experiencing some of this stress I decided this was not worth it!  I realized I needed to accept myself and my choices.  I need to make "the call" and stand by my choices no matter what.

I feel that I was putting myself into duality of right and wrong.  When I allow acceptance of myself, I can feel the insecurity and anxiety quelling in my heart.  A calm sense of purpose and love fill me.  I trust myself and life.  When I can settle here, my decisions actually change and become fluid with the situation. My ability to go with the flow of what is happening in the now (ie. this person is getting better or this person is getting worse) becomes natural and the stress part of "did i make the right decision initially?" becomes irrelevant.

In my home life I also have a tendency to always look forward to the next desire or the next adventure (i.e wedding, immigration, a house)  One of the biggest gifts relationship gives me is that I stop looking forward or back and I sink into the now.  Little moments are cherished and savoured   When I look into Howard's eyes or snuggle in his arms, time stops and I feel bliss

I feel the importance of allowing self-acceptance.  I have this tendency to always want more.  While many of these things are authentic desires, shifting from the anticipatory churning to the knowing calm that acceptance brings makes a world of difference regarding my energetic state and how easily I manifest my desires.  I much prefer to flow down the stream confidently as opposed to scrambling for the nut like the squirrel-thing in Ice Age

Will keep working on this thank you!

Love and light

"A good way to attract scarcity is to walk around thinking, "But I'm so different from everyone. I just don't fit in."" OK, this is giving me alot to think about.  When I was a kid my parents were divorced. My mother was very poor and I never felt like I fit in with my social group up north. Down south, when I went to visit my father, who was very well off, I was very popular and enjoyed it. I had a very different feeling about myself based on my parent's affluence or lack of it and it really changed my sense of fitting in. I never saw a connection between fitting in and scarcity before but it makes perfect sense to me now. Feeling like not fitting in disconnects you from the flow.


Love & Light, Pam

Hi Pam,

Yes, feeling like you don't fit in does disconnect you from the Flow as you are not in self acceptance. Your Source accepts you unconditionally, just as you are. How could it not?

I second the sentiment that we need to be our own best cheerleader.  Alll the world is a stage and we are each the main character in our narrative.  Everyone else in our lives play a supporting role, some major and some minor.  As children, our parents hopefully played the role of cheerleaders for us.  As we grow older, we have to nurture and take care of ourselves.  A difficult thing for me to realize is that I have a choice.  I can pay attention to the inner-critic or I can pay attention to the inner-cheerleader.  Sometimes it doesn't seem like there's a choice but there is.

I also like the part of Kris' post about expressing who we really are.  I've spent a considerable part of my life trying to be a chameleon.  I'd tailor my behavior and words so I could win the affection and attention of those that I care about (and some that I didn't).  The problem with pleasing others all the time is that it doesn't necessarily work and pretending to be who I'm not kills my sense of integrity.  No wonder my inner-critic is so loud.  So yes, it takes courage to speak the truth and be who I truly am.  It's worth it.

Love & Light,
Colin

Recently, while stalking my external monitoring, I've become aware, especially in the dating arena, that I start to think about what I need to change about myself before someone will be interested in me. This is very graspy energy, though I didn't see that until I could FEEL it. Such an old habit, and now I'm flowing it. I really want a relationship that is between 2 "real" people and not presented back and forth for acceptance. This post helps to clarify this. Thank you!!

Love and light,
Palmer

In times I feel low my best medicine is to find love for my self. This love is so accepting, so sweet, there is not any condition to it. It is nourishing as nothing else is. Be my own best cheerleader - this is what that love is. Acceptance of who I am gives me the strength to change that and be more. From experience admitting even the worst mistake from a place of acceptance is a powerful place. It is actually a great feeling! Also from experience judging it and pretending I am not it puts me in a weak position.

Something I noticed when I watched The Tudors was that even if some of the things Henry did were not likable at all I still felt him to be very likable. He was so much himself in all his deeds that gave him a kind of integrity. And integrity calls for respect quite naturally

Love & Light,

H Maqueila,
   I agree with what you are saying above.  Finding the Love inside of you is the best medicine.  Sometimes when I find it hard to find the Love I remember about being in this moment only and the Love comes.  Don Juan talks about beckoning Intent with the eyes.  I spent some time with this and I do see what he was talking about…Intent can be beckoned with the eyes, and once you have intent then to use your intent to feel the love is the next step.

I’m not sure I agree with you about Henry.  He was likable but at times a spoiled child.  There were times he was driven by fear and darker emotion, and then when life thwarted him, he blamed others for their incompetence in carrying out his wishes instead of taking the responsibility himself.  Though at the end of the series in the flash backs he does seem to have some insights and regrets.

I am just starting “Pillars of the Earth” which is a CBC production so I am not sure if you will get so easily.  It is set about 300 years before Henry, I think, just as England was coming out of the dark ages, maybe the beginning of the Renaissance.

Love and Light
Steve

Thank you for this lesson Kris.
accepting myself had been hard since  I had only identified myself with my wounding and 'self'.
Iam not that and have just to constantly identify with my authentic Self and express from there.

Have you ever noticed that when you see a person expressing themselves with self acceptance, that you feel a sense of acceptance for what they are doing too? This is one of the gifts of living an authentic life. When you have complete self acceptance, you can express yourself fearlessly. When others sense that you are being authentic, they naturally accept you, just as you accept yourself. It doesn�t mean they must agree with everything you say. But, they accept you for who you are and know that you are being real with them.
The key to developing self-acceptance is acknowledging what is in place, what is working, and having gratitude for that.

Thank you Kris for this input!

Today I felt that I had this; both self-acceptance, personal power and structure. We had a meeting with a new presumptive funder and much was at stake. I had engaged two key-persons to outline what we have done and what we can do in the field of their interest. And we only had one and a half hour for presentations and discussion.

I have been very focused on this meeting because if we get a co-operation, that exchange will be very beneficial for both parts. During the meeting I early became very happy that this hopefully new funder was represented by persons that one really would like to connect with in any setting. My presentation of our unit and what we are good at to do went very well, much because of that I felt that I was authentic and presenting serious research as "business", but also because I was comfortable with these three representatives from the research funder.

Nothing is set yet, but we had a good start.

Love and Light,
Jahn

Thanx for the post Kris,

I have always, since a child, felt like I didn't fit in. So I guess, even now, I am not authentic? I'm sitting and writing this because I woke up and can't get back to sleep, so many nights like this...
I'm at my best when  I can observe my thoughts in meditation, so I will go meditate now so I don't have to spend time in the morning when I wake up dopey.

love 'n' light, Bruce.
