New Year 2024

Happy 2024 everyone.

Instead of: New year, new you

Try: Radical acceptance of your authentic self. Being soft and compassionate with all those parts of you that you are desperate to change or are ashamed of and want to hide.

It is possible to both accept yourself and seek to grow and heal. They are not mutually exclusive.

And often you will find that accepting your whole self allows for more change. It also allows for us to see ourselves in a new light.

So often those parts we wish to get rid of were created to help get us through and as such, I would argue those parts of us deserve love and validation.
