The Path to Unconditional Self-Acceptance How do you fully accept yourself when you don't know how? We all want to feel good. But how can we possibly feel good if we're constantly inundating ourselves with the bad? We've been programmed to fixate on the negative feedback on the first slide of a presentation, not on the accolades on the last slide. We don't know how to feel good even when we experience good events, and that's a problem.

A successful person is someone who experiences challenges and accepts failure and unhappiness as a part of life. They are open with others and generally have positive feelings about themselves. Dylan J. Parker believes that this is what it takes to be a functioning person in this world. It is this kind of person that can more readily get over negative thoughts without chasing them down the rabbit hole.

A long road to discovery

Self-acceptance isn't going to happen overnight. It takes extensive work and considerable dedication. But learning how to love yourself right and treat yourself well can impact the way you live your life and the things you're able to accomplish.
