When you actually say it.
I don't mean my answer to sound trite. It is anything but. But it is that simple. When you collect yourself, your memories, your fears, your hopes and dreams, your experiences, your failures, your favourite foods, your excesses, your generosity, your empathy, your anger, your love, your everything. When you sit it down, and embrace it. It is what it is. Until you stop hoping it would be something else, when you realize that it is what it is, then you find acceptance of self.
It too is a journey.
All the good stuff is a journey.
But the closer you get to it, the nicer the scenery becomes.
You already have a map.
It is what it is. You are you. Embrace it. Embrace you with all you have in you.
Even if it feels empty to do it, you fake it until you make it. Practise does matter. The more you practise, the better it is. You have to start somewhere. You have to start.
Bless you for asking.
