It's incredible how little emphasis our society puts on self-acceptance.
Throughout our lives, we will suffer, change, and grow, but we ourselves (mind and body) remain. Whatever you are recovering from, be it injury, trauma, abuse, addiction, eating disorder, body dysmorphia, etc., self-acceptance is needed. Self-acceptance does not entail "giving up" or stagnating but rather a commitment to kindness and self-care of the most important kind.
