Appreciate
To think well of, to value, and to enjoy: to recognize gratefully: to rightly estimbate the quality
or worth of someone or something.
Self-Confidence
Usually refers to a belief in one's abilities: related to competence and self-efficcacy.
As one's competence increases, one's confidence increase. In the broader and deeper sense, self-confidence is a belief
in oneself as a person, leading to a general sense of "I can do it." Self-confident people might say to themselves:
"Because anyone can do just about anything-given the tiem, practice, experience, resorces, etc ---why cant't I? I may
not succeed completely or quickly, but the direction will be desirable." Demonstrating competence is satisfying, but it is
an outgrowth of sel-worth, not a way to establish it.
Competence adn confidence correlat with self-esteem, but are no causal. If we base feelings of worth on competence
and achievements, then if we fail there is no worth.
What it all boils down to is, you can do anything you put your mind to and have confidence and
most of all believe in yourself.

Accept
To receive favorably and with pleasure; approve; believe in; respond to favorabley. Self-acceptance
is believing in oneself, and receiving oneself favorably and with pleasure. One may accurately acknowledge one's weaknesses,
be determined to improve, and still accept oneself. The internal dialogue might be, "I acknowledge my faults.
I love myself, though not necessarily all of my behavious. As I improve my behavior, then I can feel good about me and
my behavior."
