1. Talk to yourself, be your best friend

and made another list of thing or habits that is bad about yourself, write down the good things that you should adopt in place of a good one.
May this help you to accept more and expect less. and of course, this will preserve you from many life problems.

When you accept that the good or bad that happens in your life, is your responsibility, you start to accept things.
Sometimes, you may suffer due to other’s fault but after that, how you treat yourself and that person is totally yourself.
Suppose someone suffers a breakup in a relationship due to others fault, but what he/she chooses is totally his/her responsibility. They choose to suffer, they choose to move on, they choose to hate them or they choose to ignore them, it is totally their responsibility. Acceptance helps you to understand the outcome of the relationship.
The sooner you realize that your life is totally your responsibility, the better your life will be from that day.

Don’t run away from the truth. Accept the truth and face it. Accept the things that you could not change.
and don’t run to perfection, no one is perfect, it is perfect to be imperfect. You are good or average it is enough to live.
Start forgiving people, you start to move on from the worst. Forgive and forgive more.
if you do fault, accept it. and don’t let people suffer to you. I remember people play a blame game and it ends with no solution. But if they start to accept the reality, they will be more solution-centric.
5. Learn with mistakes every time
The main motive of acceptance to grow you in life. If you don’t learn from experience then you repeat the same mistake again.
