Self Acceptance

[Guest guest]

I've been having quite a time with accepting my thoughts about myself.

I want to have healthy self esteem. Yet I am getting that I do not fuse

with a thought good or bad even about myself. It seems simple not to

get entangled with the negative thoughts about me. What about the good

ones though? Do I choose to just accept them too and go on attending to

what I want to be about? Is it my actions that define me? Then I judge

that as well, was what I did right or wrong. Maybe it is an aspect of

mindfulness to not look back (that was the wrong thing to do) or plan

ahead too much (that would be the right thing to do) Maybe I am

confusing self esteem with self worth. Is there really such a thing

that can describe what a person is worth? Is it just human nature to

want to feel good about ourselves? It seems that it is better to be for

myself than against myself. The danger seems to be when to stop. I

believe humility is an asset more in line with my values although

sometimes it isn't apparent. Is it more effective in any given moment

to just be o.k. with who I am and not get into any very splendid

thoughts about ME? It seems I have an ask to grind again. I need to

stop asking, Oh my god why did I do just do THAT?!!!
