UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE
What is unconditional love and acceptance?
To love and accept yourself and other people unconditionally is: Placing no conditions on yourself or others as to how to behave or what to be in order to receive love and acceptance from you. Establishing no conditions or limits for loving and accepting another. Taking a risk to be open and vulnerable with another with no pre-set limits on the relationship. Being as sole rationale is to love and accept other people for the fact that they exist rather than for what they are. Value yourself and others for themselves rather than for what you/they do or have done. No strings attached to hold people in an esteemed position with love and acceptance because they exist in your world rather than for what they do for you. It is self-esteem enhancing which sets the stage for you and others to feel warmth, caring, and concern for themselves which results in all growing in self-esteem and self-worth.
How do you feel when you receive unconditional love and acceptance?
When you are the recipient of unconditional love and acceptance from others, you feel: Free to be yourself. You have value and worth. You feel wanted and desired for you as you rather than for what you do. To be listened to and accepted. That you have yourself to offer others which in itself is worthwhile. You feel warmth, cared for, and nurtured. You are OK just the way you are. That there is no need to wear a mask or to act in any way just to please another. You feel free to be yourself and to open up your feelings with no fear of rejection or non-approval. That it is possible to take a risk to be vulnerable with others in order to have open and honest relationships with them. You feel no fear of retribution or reprisal from others if you should make a mistake or experience a failure. Because you know that there are no conditions set on your relationships with others.
What are the negative consequences of a lack of unconditional love and acceptance?
When people are not given unconditional love and acceptance, then they: Feel constrained to act in ways which are inconsistent with their beliefs and feelings. Lack the freedom to be themselves. Live their lives to please others rather than to please themselves. Are not given the freedom to experience the natural consequences of their own actions and decisions. Can become dependent on others to make them feel good about themselves. They also can become very rule bound and perfectionist in seeking to do what is "right'' or "expected'' of them in order to be accepted or loved. Are more likely to experience low self-esteem and low self-worth. Feel misunderstood, not approved of, and defensive. Have poor relationship skills and experience failed relationships. Work harder at meeting conditions and expectations set for them by others than working at becoming self-directed, self-sufficient, and self-reliant. Can become withdrawn and isolate themselves so as not to experience future rejection and non-approval. Confuse the need to follow rules and obey directions as the only way to be accepted and loved by others. Believe that they can never fail or make a mistake because they would never be worthy of love or acceptance from others. Do not learn how to accept and love themselves unconditionally and therefore are very self-critical, self-disapproving and self-punitive. Tend to set unrealistic, no-achievable, and overly idealistic expectations for themselves which must first be met in order to accept and love themselves. Become their own worst critics who are never able to unconditionally love and accept themselves.
