Module 6
Growing Self-Acceptance
Self-Acceptance
Introduction
Self-acceptance is about being in relationship with your whole self - including the full spectrum of emotions and needs, your past, and any aspects you wish were different (but aren't). Â Its's the flow of your life.
As you practice accepting yourself, realising that you are enough just as you are, you start to feel that you belong to you. You tell yourself the truth about your needs, opinions and preferences. As you become more comfortable with accepting yourself, connecting with others is more genuine, authentic and true.
Coaching Tools:
- Your Love Bus (for meeting all the different parts of you)
- Heart Map (exploring the connections in your life right now)
- Needs and Emotions (how to be with all of you)
- Meet Your Lover (visualisation to bring this aspect of you to life)
Please do treat this module as a menu - choose something to practice and see what happens.

Module Seven
Hello All.
I wanted to share that I exercised 3 times last week and feel pretty great for it.
Not only for doing it but also for committing to it and keeping my word to myself.
It feels like I’ve shifted some ‘stuff’ since that coaching call on Thursday last week…and I am so grateful.
It also feels great to have moved in to some more positive, uplifting course material.
I’m all here for positive energy shifts and so happy to be on this ride.
Thanks.
Hello – this module has struck a chord with me.
Feeling like my Lover Energy is under-expressed. There are many moments when I feel separate and disconnected from my own emotions, needs and wants. I’m guessing this is through years of serving others -being in an unbalanced relationship where their needs were put first, or the needs of my child or the people I help at work, the list goes on. It’s like I’ve forgotten my own opinions, beliefs or desires.
Do I want bean soup or minestrone…??? I literally have NO IDEA and will just defer to the others who are also eating. How can I not know what soup I would prefer? How do I not know how I feel? Does it just make an easier life to pass the responsibility to others?
Is this the ByStander (again) protecting me from the risk of judgement and conflict?
I think I’ve out grown this passive way of being now but it’s a hard habit to break so will go over this module a few times. Maybe this should be my topic for the Courageous Goals sessions.
So much to think about….

That’s so great to hear Andy.
And yes the course material does take a shift in this part of the programme. I’m so glad this is landing for you 🙂

For the meet your lover module, a message appears saying the video doesn’t exist. How do I retrieve it?
Kay is getting this sorted Amanda – apologies for the glitch!
Thank you, Sas. Sorry for my slow response. I will take a look at the lover module.
