Life Transitions
Acceptance
Finding your peace
Acceptance means recognizing and embracing your thoughts, feelings, and situations without judgment.
It’s saying to yourself “it’s okay to feel this way.”
It’s accepting that everyone has experiences challenges and faces struggles.
Acceptance doesn’t mean you are giving up; it means you accept the reality of the situation.
The aim of working toward finding a respectful, peaceful solution that works for your specific situation.
Tough luck
Radical acceptance
Acceptance is hard.
Sometimes we will bang our head against the wall refusing to accept or believe what everybody around us has already seen as the new reality.
Sometimes it's the very pain of that reality or event that is just so huge that it takes time for our body and especially our mind to process it in a way that we can possibly accept it.
We see this with large traumatic events, personal loss or even an unexpected medical diagnosis.
Even dealing with emotional harm that was experienced when we were younger, and kept bottled up and surpressed for years need to be dealth with at some point. We need to tell our story and be heard.
However there are situations where we do not accept the reality, and through sheer willpower just push ahead to try to get to the outcome that we think that it should be or desire.
This is often at the expense of significant hardship that is then rewarded with perseverance.
