To be more accepting, consider reflecting on your habitual attitude toward yourself and trying to be more gentle. You can also cultivate acceptance by noticing your resistance, questioning your patterns, being mindful, and considering your inner child.

Wherever you are and whatever you experience, try to be at peace with it. If it’s hard to think positively about your situation, at least don’t focus on the negatives, and instead focus on something you’d like to experience. It may help to make a list of things you’re grateful for and the positive aspects of whatever you resist.
