From a GLAS Method perspective, self-acceptance begins with Emotions / Awareness and Reflection. Awareness of internal experience allows recognition of habitual self-judgments, while reflection distinguishes perceived flaws from reality. This creates space for compassionate observation rather than reactive self-criticism.
Acceptance is strengthened through Purpose / Meaning, Community, and Growth / Learning. Alignment with values fosters clarity of choice, relational support reinforces worth, and learning transforms perceived limitations into opportunities for growth. GLAS frames acceptance as active engagement with self rather than passive tolerance.
Finally, self-acceptance sustains Energy / Vitality, Joy / Fulfilment, and Resilience. Releasing self-judgment preserves energy for meaningful action, fosters contentment, and strengthens the ability to navigate challenges with composure. Acceptance becomes a platform for aligned, sustainable living.
