Why is it so important to appreciate oneself?  

Many years ago, I came across a book about how important it is to accept oneself the way we are. It was really a door opener for me, I discovered how important it is to be oneself and not the way other people expected of me, or what the fashion or the perception in the society say we ought to be. The door into self love is always self acceptance. The more we are able to accept ourselves, the more others will accept us. It does not mean that we need to accept everything we do. It may lead us astray.

It’s about being honest with oneself, by stopping and reflecting. To dare to do things that you know are right for you even if you know that the others expect something else. – It leads to that we grow into our SELF. Then you simply choose to be the way you want without being afraid.

The life force does not judge or punish. It does not even know what guilt or shame is! It does not not know inadequacy or greed. It gives of itself. It simply IS! It allows Life to unfold. This is the clue to find our ways of living.

We, however, carry a lot of feelings that make us feel a large number of feelings that does not serve us. Our challenge is to find ways of how to free ourselves from the emotional baggage that make us create these non-serving thoughts about ourselves. Because that is indeed what they are.

Many human beings are like living inside bubbles of conviction of not being worthy, feeling guilty, not being good enough, feeling small and insignificant. These ways of thinking have occurred through the chakra system that has created our limited nature for thousands of years.
Our experiences as a species has caused us to feel guilt and shame and a lot of other feelings and made us hold on to it. It has made us cling to things that have happened in the past.

It is much easier to let go of old pain and limitations now than before. Nevertheless; we need to realize what does not serve us to do it! That is why we still need to accept our feelings. The true nature of our souls is love and joy... As underlined on these pages - we cannot let go of what we deny. We need to see it and accept it - and forgive what is needed to forgive - then it disappears!

Why is it so difficult to love oneself? 
Most of us have grown up with attitudes saying, loving oneself is selfish.  To get to our goal, we have to understand the mechanisms that make us selfish.  Loving oneself is not selfish; it is the opposite.  Not loving ourselves, make us criticize others.  Our own subconscious baggage of painful memories create our conviction of not deserving, that we ought to be ashamed, that we are inferior, that we are guilty, that we are afraid… which make us feel small and act in ways to compensate for the feeling of being small… That is what makes us behave selfishly. 

To be able to grow into our greatness, we need to recognize what does not serve us.  By observing what happens in your lives and how you react emotionally on those situations…  tell you what remind you of the painful episodes you are carrying with you.

It is important to understand that people who carry negative ways of thinking, being and acting help us see ourselves.  Those who do what we perceive as negative, make us able to choose differently!  Accept that they are where they are. Neutralize your thoughts and let go. Don't let anybody harm you or hurt you, but say it when anybody do. Take responsibility for your own thoughts and actions.
Accept your own feelings and let go of them! Forgive yourself and others!

These are going to be important rules for living in the years to come.
