Editing How to Accept Yourself As an LGBT Muslim (section)

== Self-Reflection and Self-Compassion   ==

The journey of self-acceptance often involves deep introspection:

- Examining internalized homophobia/transphobia
- Challenging negative self-talk and beliefs
- Practicing self-compassion and self-love
- Recognizing one's inherent worth and dignity
- Separating cultural norms from religious truths
- Focusing on one's relationship with Allah

Therapy, journaling, and mindfulness can aid in this self-reflection process.
