Haleh Banani – The Most Important Gift To Give To Yourself

			What is the most important gift that you can give to yourself, that will not only affect your life,
but it will affect every relationship that you're in. And that is the gift of unconditional self
acceptance. What is all this about self acceptance is when you are able to embrace every aspect of
yourself, your positive traits and your negative traits, you know, it's easy to celebrate yourself
when you win an award when you get a new job when you do things, right. But what about when you have
those undesirable traits? What if you have an ugly side, maybe there's a dark side to you, and being
able to acknowledge the fact that you have that side, that is the starting point, you have to know
		

			where you're at, in order to know where you're going to get in that journey of self development, you
definitely need to know your negative traits, you need to know what is it that are your flaws. And
knowing that when you know what your shortcomings are, and this is, it is an eye opening experience.
Most of the time people get very upset, they get very frustrated, they get mad at themselves. But
self acceptance does not mean that you condone those behavior. I have many clients who will tell me
I made a huge mistake, I mistreated my parents, I yelled at my kids, I did something wrong, or your
press, my spouse, whatever it is, it is not about condoning that behavior. It's not about accepting
		

			the fact that that was a good behavior, it is recognizing that this is a part of you, that needs to
change. And when you start having self acceptance, you're not condoning the negative behavior, you
see your behavior as separate from yourself. And when you recognize that, you know, you're able to
make changes within yourself. When you have low self esteem, it is very evident that it can lead to
a lot of mental health issues, whether it's depression or anxiety, and other issues. But when you
have a high self acceptance, right, when you have that unconditional self acceptance, it actually
serves as a buffer. It's a protective layer, and for laying the foundation of a positive mental
		

			health. So this is why it is so critical. You give yourself a gift of accepting yourself now how can
you recognize if you actually accept yourself, I have clients telling me time and time again, that
they can accept themselves, they don't, they can't even begin to accept themselves. So what is self
acceptance look like? There are many aspects. But one is when you look in the mirror, are you able
to accept yourself as you are, I can understand you may not be happy with where you are, maybe you
have certain goals. But it means recognizing yourself not beating yourself up just because you don't
look a certain way, accepting the fact that your path, your family, your opportunity, it's so
		

			critical to recognize that everything happened for a reason. And Allah, in his infinite wisdom,
chose certain people to be in your family. I know we all have challenging family members. And it's
very difficult for people to come to terms with that they may just spend their entire life thinking
why is this person so unreasonable? Why are they so negative? Why are they so narcissistic, whatever
the traits may be. And because we don't come to terms, we don't come to that acceptance, we have a
very hard time building relationship. So it is about recognizing the people in our lives,
recognizing our even limitations, what we can do and what we can't do. Coming to terms with that is
		

			such a critical part of living a fulfilled life. So if you want to give yourself the gift, the most
important gift as far as being in your best version, and which will affect every relationship that
you have, I want you to build this self acceptance. And the big question is, how right how do you do
it? That's why I established my mentorship program, which is called the mindful Hearts Academy. And
