Top 2 Reasons Why Self-Acceptance is My Resolution for 2008
January 1, 2008 – 6:51 amI vow to accept my most hated and imperfect body to fullest extend possible, knowing that radical self-acceptance ~ not in any kind of cheesy self-improvement model promoted by the diet industries ~ is the foundation of all transformative revolutions.
In achieving a bespoke body, my mind is still the number place where acceptance of my imperfect body begins.
There are two reasons to work towards self-acceptance.
1. Others Become More Fabulous ~ Greater self-acceptance leads to greater acceptance of others. Try it. See for yourself. If it doesn’t work, you can always go back to self-loathing and the federal-express-straight-to-hell lifestyle offered by it.
2. You Become More Fabulous ~ The hippest, happiest people really like and accept themselves. They understand that they won’t always be happy, that happiness is transitory. But they understand that self-acceptance can be inviolate and absolute; that their bodies are what they are: unique and wonderful. And that is very sexy. I would venture to say that the greater the self-acceptance, the sexier you will appear, which will lead to more sex, money, whatever you want. Again, try it. I am.
If it, like no. 1, does not work, I’m going back to feeling contemptible and acting shamefully. Otherwise, I’m working for a greater good in myself and towards others.
Namaste and Happy New Year to Everyone

Happy New Year Jay and thanks for publishing this reminder to love ourselves, our bodies, our imperfections. The idea of others becoming more “fabulous” as we become more accepting is a definite motivation towards this goal
