Summary: Welcome to The Meditation Podcast, with Jesse and Jeane Stern. Subscribe and join our Patreon community at Patreon.com/theMeditationPodcast. Episode 40, Self Acceptance. As a culture, we are obsessed with self improvement. Our media is full of ads and images enticing us -- and pitching solutions -- to lose weight, get organized, clear our skin, find love, make money, eat the 'right' foods, and more. The problem is that self-improvement can root us in the thing that we're trying to change. By focusing on wanting to 'improve', it's possible to get stuck in an addictive cycle where all we create is more 'wanting'. In today's meditation, we practice the fine art of self acceptance. We take a journey within, finding opportunities to love, honor, and accept ourselves -- just as we are. Through this process, we are often able to bring about the very changes that we've been looking for all along.
