Self-acceptance

Feeling valuable, self-accepting and self-confident. 

The first assumption was that by taking psychedelic drugs, subjects were rendered less depressed, anxious, guilty, and angry, and more self-accepting, tolerant, deeply religious, and sensually alert. In other words, subjects were not only made more amenable to psychotherapy, but were... 

There is one other problem involved in this method of treatment. The therapist may feel that the subject is wasting time in largely unproductive hypochondriacal or psychotic periods. Often, however, these difficulties are steppingstones to self-acceptance. Because of the therapist s close contact with the patient, he is better able to help him reach and maintain a stabilized experience. In so doing, he may inadvertently "help" too much and permit the subject to sta-... 

I have left my previous occupation and begun writing and now I publish a quarterly newsletter. The difficulties of life are still here and my fears are often operative. What is different is that though things are somewhat the same, they look and feel different, feel positive. My negative self-talk is diminished. I have greater self-acceptance and am more at ease. I smile more. The world looks better. There is a calmness. I have a new reservoir of strength to draw from—I am more myself. 

The older adolescent s self-acceptance may still depend on approval from parents. ("Unless I please them, I can t feel good about myself")... 

We move from self-awareness to self-acceptance, to acceptance of others with different styles, and to self-confidence. 

While everyone s life path is unique, certain themes tend to be predom inant for Air types. Selhacceptance is one prominent issue for such peo pie, since fear feeds their tendency to feel insecure, unworthy, or ashamed. Believing that they are not good enough as they are draws many vata people to the pursuit of self improvement. Ironically, what would really be healing and balancing for them is self acceptance. 

In a similar way, mindfulness practice suggests that we give up on self-improvement and instead begin a course of self-acceptance. The way out of our unhappiness is not to fix ourselves. We can t root out our flaws any more than Nasrudin can destroy every single one of his dandelions. We might try for years, and the dandelions would still remain. 

Harvey J. Tompkins, president of the American Psychiatric Association, in his presidential address We are approaching a psychiatrist popidation of nearly 20,000, about four times as many as two decades ago. This gratifying growth could not have occurred without the government subsidies which have been channeled into professional education. .. It behooves us to move with decent haste to the self-acceptance and projection of a different image of ourselves—one that more nearly reflects the intellectual, social, political, and economic currents which, history demonstrates, have as much impact on the character of our practice as does the accumulation of new knowledge. ... 

It can be concluded, that indications with lengths of more than about 1.5 mm can be detected with high probability (100%). This confirms with the recommended smallest acceptance level (optimum conditions) of 1.5 mm (registration level) in various product standards (e g. as [10]). It is self evident that smaller indications (1 = 0.6 mm) will be detected too, but the correlations explained above, clearely indicates a decreasing probability of detection with decreasing length of indications. 

A rapid increase in diffusivity in the saturation region is therefore to be expected, as illustrated in Figure 7 (17). Although the corrected diffusivity (Dq) is, in principle, concentration dependent, the concentration dependence of this quantity is generally much weaker than that of the thermodynamic correction factor d ap d a q). The assumption of a constant corrected diffusivity is therefore an acceptable approximation for many systems. More detailed analysis shows that the corrected diffusivity is closely related to the self-diffusivity or tracer diffusivity, and at low sorbate concentrations these quantities become identical. 

On curing, amino resins not only react with the nucleophilic sites (hydroxyl, carboxyl, amide) on the other film formers in the formulation, but also self-condense to some extent. Highly alkylated amino resins have less tendency to self-condense (33,34) and are therefore effective cross-linking agents, but may require the addition of a strong acid catalyst to obtain acceptable cure even at bake temperatures of 120—177°C. 

The autoignition temperature is the minimum temperature for a substance to initiate self-combustion in air in the absence of a spark or flame. The temperature is no lower than and is generahy considerably higher than the temperature corresponding to the upper flammabihty limit. Large differences can occur in reported values determined by different procedures. The lowest reasonable value should be accepted in order to assure safety. Values are also sometimes given in oxygen rather than in air. 

The subject of adaptive control is one of current interest. New algorithms are presently under development, but these need to be field-tested before industrial acceptance can be expected. It is clear, however, that digital computers will be required for implementation of self-adaptive controllers due to their complexity. An adaptive controller is inherently nonlinear and therefore more complicated than the conventional PID controller. 

Evaluate Effectiveness on the Basis of Outputs and Acceptance Once the system has been implemented on its chosen site, its effectiveness needs to be evaluated at frequent intervals so that corrective action can be taken in the event of problems. The first criterion for success is that the system must generate unique insights into the causes of errors and accidents, which would not otherwise have been apparent. Second, the system must demonstrate a capability to specify remedial strategies that, in the long term, lead to enhanced safety, environmental impact and plant losses. Finally, the system must be owned by the workforce to the extent that its value is accepted and it demonstrates its capability to be self-sustaining.
