Many of us do not like, let alone love ourselves. Self-acceptance is only possible when we are comfortable with who we are. This means all of us, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. When we experience the ‘I am enough’ moment in our lives, This is a turning point for change. This is a time when we can chose to grow. Or we can reject it and retreat back into the darkness of our former selves.
2. Trust Your Intuition
We all have natural intuition, whether it comes in the form of a sensation, our inner voice, a knowing… it is there. We have been taught to shut off our intuitive self and instead to think. Thinking is rational and is other people messages or something we have read or heard.
