Hi there, it’s Cheryl Truesdale and I am
thrilled that you’re here with me for this
episode of Cheryl Shares TV…your station
for inspiration.
So, have you ever wished that you could just
accept yourself just as you are so that you
could feel better about yourself? If so, you
are going to want to stay tuned my friend
because you are about to discover a method that totally puts an end to all the emotional suffering
that we feel because of self-rejection.
And I am so excited about this video today
because what I’m gonna’ share with you
is going to help you cut yourself some slack
and be able to see yourself for the amazing
person that you truly are…warts and all.
So hang on, and get ready to discover a Scientific
Method That Cures Self-Rejection.
Okay, before I give you the remedy for self-rejection,
I want to empower you by pointing out 2 big
fat lies that cause you to reject yourself
in the first place. And once these lies are
exposed, you will no longer fall prey to their
trap of self-rejection.
So here’s the 1st lie that causes us to
reject ourselves…see if this one doesn’t
sound a bit familiar to you. Lie #1, Accepting
who and what I am, means I must approve of
everything about myself.
What a big fat lie! Here, let me point out
the sneaky deception of this statement.
Accepting yourself and approving of everything
about yourself are all lumped into one idea,
when in reality, acceptance and approval are
two different things entirely. Do you see
the trap that this creates?
To accept that something is true doesn’t
mean that you have to “like” it or “agree”
with it. You don’t have to like, enjoy,
or condone things about yourself in order
to accept what’s true about yourself. Do
you see the difference?
If accepting all of who you are is contingent
upon approving of all of your behaviors, and
faults, and flaws, or whatever that list of
things is that you do that you don’t approve
of…..if acceptance is contingent upon approval,
well then of course you’re going to reject
those parts of yourself that you don’t approve of.
That is why it is so important to distinguish
the difference between acceptance and approval.
Because acceptance and approval are different.
And when you see this, that opens the door
to you being able to accept the full reality
of who you are, while eliminating any need
to reject the parts of yourself that your
don’t approve.
Do you see now how accepting all of yourself
does not require that you “like” it or “agree” with it?
Now onto the 2nd lie that causes us to reject
ourselves. Lie #2, Accepting who and what
I am means I can’t change or improve. Here
is the deception in this statement.
Accepting yourself means that you’ll never
be able to change yourself….you’re gonna’
be stuck with your flaws and your weaknesses
forever. Ewww…who would want that? DO you
see the trap here? Again, acceptance and the
ability to improve yourself are 2 different
things.
To accept the truth about yourself doesn’t
mean that you can’t make changes or improvements.
If there are things about yourself that you
just don't like, acknowledging those things
in no way threatens your ability to change
or improve them. Does this make sense?
If acceptance is based on being stuck with
who you are, well then of course you’re
gonna’ reject the things about yourself
that you wanna’ change.
All righty then, now that we’ve exposed
those nasty little lies, they’ll no longer
be able to dupe us into rejecting ourself.
But what about the self-rejection that we
have already incurred….what can we do about that?
Well, actually we can do a whole lot using
a method borrowed from the scientific world….and
the method is really quite simple. It’s
really all about the art of remaining objective.
And just as any good scientist knows, properly
analyzing anything means you must remain objective
by looking at the facts without judging them.
And this is how this would work in regard
to self-rejection.
Once you’ve been able to identify those
parts of yourself that you don’t like, or
maybe even parts of yourself that that you’ve
disowned, your task then is to “objectively
observe” the rejected parts without judging
them as either good or bad. Simply look at
them for what they are. I mean, what is, just
is. I know it can be really tempting to make
a judgement about the things you don’t like
about yourself as bad…but let me encourage
you to refrain and I promise you it will be
well worth it.
By removing judgement you remove the need
to reject anything. I mean, you don’t reject
things that you like…you reject things that
you determine as bad.
So if it’s not “bad” anymore, then there’s
nothing to be perceived of as shameful or
to reject. Does this make sense?
So get outta’ your head already… stop
analyzing, evaluating and judging yourself!
Just look at all the parts of yourself as
what they are without judging them to be good
or bad. And you know what, while you’re
at it….why don’t you let your heart weigh-in
on the facts. You know, I think that offering
yourself that kind of compassion may be the
very thing you need to achieve the self-acceptance that leads to the happiness and wholeness that you desire.
Well there you have it….a Scientific Method
That Cures Self-Rejection.
Yeah, I know, not a very sexy title…but
let me tell you, the results you’ll get
using this method are life changing.
For me personally, using this method has allowed
me to see myself, and what I do, in a whole
new light. It’s allowed me to get real with
myself, and by getting real then I can see
what really needs to be changed and improved
in my life. And then I went and made those
changes and made those improvements that have transformed my life.
Now, my hope and prayer is that you will never
experience the pain of self-rejection. But
if you do, go ahead and try this method and then
please let me know how it goes for you….and you
