Acceptance
Can be defined as:
Learning to accept ‘what is’ and do what is working or has worked for you, can help you to maximise peace of mind to live a meaningful life. So what is it exactly? Does it mean that you totally accept/approve/be passive towards, quit an experience, things, person? Or perhaps you think it is giving up on your beliefs and just doing what pleases others? Let’s start at the first question. What is acceptance? Acceptance is:
Why do we need acceptance?
How do we practice acceptance? Well for this one, you have to make a conscious choice to do something.
My questions to you are: How are you able to move toward a life you desire with the values that are important to you, in spite of any barriers? Is what you are doing currently, propelling you forward in your life based on your values? And remember: By being less harsh toward yourself and showing kindness and acceptance of self is key. Afterall, you are the one who speaks the most to you! Be specific and thoughtful when you speak kind words to yourself. If you would like to increase acceptance in your life, feel free to contact me at: theresa@connectingdotscounselling.au and together we can put some of these practices into practice! The book ACT made Simple second edition by Russ Harris and The book The Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety second edition by John P. Forsyth, PhD and Georg H.
