Many introvert women struggle with accepting who they are. This is especially the case because we live in a world that seems to praise extroversion so highly. This can make you shrink back. Accepting yourself and where you are in life can be difficult. If you’re anything like me, then you’re much more accepting of others’ mistakes than your own.
The problem with this is that you’re likely to be too hard on yourself! Extraverted people aren’t better than you!
7 Ways to Accept Yourself As You Are, Right here and Right now!
As an intuitive introvert woman, you were created with a unique set of talents, gifts, and strengths that no one else has.
Plus, there’s the other fact that everyone makes mistakes. We’re all human and no one is perfect!
Being more accepting of yourself and loving yourself for the awesome person that you really truly are can lead you to greater happiness and a more fulfilling life.
Here are some excellent techniques you can use to help you start accepting yourself today!
1. Focus on your positive qualities
Even though self-development is a good thing, it’s important that you identify and focus on your positive qualities, rather than concentrating on the qualities you feel negatively about.
Maintaining this positive focus will not only help you better accept yourself, but it’ll also make it easier for you to attain your goals by utilizing your talents to boost yourself forward.
2. Consciously prevent negative thinking patterns
Negative thinking can really snowball fast if you don’t get ahead of it. It’s okay to be in a bad mood every once in a while and have some negative thoughts; it happens to everyone. The trick is learning how to push those negative thoughts aside and replace them with something positive.
Replace your negative thoughts about yourself with confidence affirmations. Confidence affirmations are statements that affirm your positive qualities and help bring out the best in you. i also share Self Love Affirmations here as well!

3. Accept your imperfections
Another part of being human is having some imperfections. No one, absolutely no one is perfect. Instead of dwelling on the things you can’t change, accept them for what they are. Making the best of your life starts with accepting your imperfections and realizing that you are here for a reason JUST as you are.
4. Use positive self-talk
Positive self-talk can help you achieve great things and change the way you think about yourself. Make it a point to give sincere compliments to yourself.
Compliment yourself for the good things about your looks, your positive qualities, and every time you do something right. Do this each and every day until it becomes a habit.
5. Don’t worry about what other people think about your decisions
Many introvert women are also self conscious. They worry about what others think about them and the things they do. You’ll never make everyone else happy. If you try, you’ll soon discover that, not only will other people still be unhappy, but you’ll also be exhausted and unhappy yourself.
Make your own decisions according to your priorities and be confident that you’ve done what’s right for you.
6. Avoid worrying.
It’s easy to worry. There’s no work in worrying but worrying will never help your situation. Instead of wasting your time by being engulfed in fear, take action to do what you can to make the situation better. If there’s nothing you can do to change it, focus on changing how you feel about the situation.
7. Try your best and accept that you’ve done what you could.
Do your best every day and be proud of yourself for your efforts. Let go of any negative thoughts, such as being angry with yourself for not being able to accomplish an impossible feat.
Even when you haven’t done your best, find a way to forgive yourself and give yourself grace. Move on and commit to trying harder next time.
In changing the way you think & feel about yourself, you’ll also change the way you see the world. Every day opens up new opportunities for you, and by utilizing positive thinking, you can make a real difference!
