In today's topic, we talk about Accepting yourself!

I chose this topic after reading an inspirational statement that stroke me because, even though I am a super positive female, I have caught myself using negative talk toward myself, specially in front of the mirror.

I am not an expert in this topic, but I am a motivator and my goal is self-improvement. So after I saw that anonymous inspirational quote, I have been taking better care of my thoughts in front of the mirror.

So I’ve come up with some scenarios and techniques to start accepting yourself better, including,  your body, mind and soul.

Enjoy!
