Accepting what has happened in the past. Accepting who we are right now and what is true for us. Accepting a difficult situation that's currently happening.
Doing these things can feel counter-intuitive. Accepting something we want to change or get out of can feel like we are submitting, resigning, giving up, or succumbing to a reality or situation we don't like. However, the opposite is true.
When we argue mentally with our past or when we argue internally with what is happening now, we create more resistance and exhaustion.
When we can arrive more quickly at acceptance, we bring unconditional love to ourselves and the situation. Then, this is how we free up precious mental and physical energy to find solutions, create a plan, and move forward.
When we can look at the hard things in life as an expected part of life at see how life is happening for us, we become more resilient and content, no matter the circumstances.
