In this episode I deep dive into seven steps I learned from a mediation course on self acceptance that I think are super valuable. I discuss validating feelings, observing feelings, avoiding minimizing experiences, belonging and renewing connections with others. The 7 steps are: 1. Accepting others starts with accepting ourselves.2. Validate your feelings.3. Feel what you feel without minimizing the experience.4. Renew connections with people that DO want to connect with you.5. Belonging is the antidote to rejection.6. Gently reflect on what role we may have played in our rejection.7. Ask yourself, how does this feel?- I deserve to be myself.
