13: Acceptance Leads to Unconditional LOVE ADOPT YOURSELF
-
- Self-Improvement
Compassionate acceptance of ourselves + others will bring us more love + unity amid a polarized world…
On this week’s episode of the ADOPT YOURSELF podcast I share how acceptance leads to unconditional love. Accepting ourselves allows us to accept others easier, bringing more love into our lives while freeing up our energy of no longer trying to change what we cannot control
I share challenges I faced in fully accepting myself, my body, + my choices as well as how I’ve been able to accept others as they choose to show up while learning to embrace what I am powerless over with navigating biological family relationships
This episode was in response to what I am witnessing among fellow Americans leading up to this dramatic presidential election… a lack of acceptance, a lack of compassion, a lack of respect, a lack of empathy, + a lack of honoring one another’s right to choose our own individual perspectives
Each word + action results in one of two outcomes:
We fuel hate or we AMPLIFY LOVE
People are ending relationships with loved ones over how they’re choosing to vote which fuels more hate, judgment, polarity, separateness, + repeating the same cycles of blame, finger pointing, + no growth
And for what? Because we aren’t willing to accept that someone else has the right to have their own opinion + choose their own perspective just as much as we do?
Just because someone votes differently than you does that mean you love them less? If so, what limits are you putting on love?
I AMPLIFY LOVE with a daily re-commitment to radical full acceptance for myself as I am, everyone as they are, + everything as it is without trying to change it because me wanting something changed is me thinking I know what is “best” when I don’t know + me seeking control when I am powerless
We are all powerless over the outcome, we only have a choice in accepting it for what it is while accepting + honoring our human brothers, sisters, + nonconforming siblings for choosing their own perspectives, even if that choice is different than ours
I ask you…
How can we find more acceptance for the sacredness of WHAT IS?
How can we honor our own experiences and respect other’s for theirs too?
What parts of you can you embrace more through compassionate self-acceptance?
Where are you putting limits on your love?
May we all learn to embody more ACCEPTANCE FOR WHAT IS by choosing to listen + learn from one another 🙏🏽
All my love,
Ali
