Self-acceptance
Self-acceptance is acceptance of self. Definition Self-acceptance can be defined as: * the awareness of one's strengths and weaknesses, * the realistic (yet subjective) appraisal of one's talents, capabilities, and general worth, and, * feelings of satisfaction with one's self despite deficiencies and regardless of past behaviors and choices.
