Self Acceptance

How easy is it for you to accept a compliment?  Do you qualify it or even belittle it?  Do you doubt it or can you fully accept it without self-judgement?

What about a 'thank you'? Do you answer with: "No, thank you!" or "Not a big deal." or "No problem." Look closely at these answers - none of them accept the given 'thank you', which means that you, yourself, don't believe in the value of what you are being thanked for.

Accepting a compliment, positive statement, or a thank you is an art form too.  Pay attention and look at them, let them in.  Being able to receive them is a reflection of your self acceptance.
