Embracing What Is..

Introduction…

This has to be one of the hardest things for myself and many others to face. We can fill our heads and thoughts with all kinds of things. Like why didn’t this happen, or why didn’t I respond that way? If only I did this! Theres so many thoughts that can clutter our minds. Resignation is not giving up in this case. It’s having an acceptance that whats done is done. What is is what is. That has been an ongoing battle I’ve delt with for many years. Have I conquered it lol absolutely not. Have I made a lot of progress I can confidently say yes!

Now there are things in our life that are bigger things for us to be able to accept. A loss of someone close, a career or business. Just to name a few. Smaller things we can tend to battle with a little more ease. But you HAVE to start making progress in accepting the things we cannot change. What your not coming to terms with, can be a big reason why your not moving forward. Acceptance is about recognizing and embracing reality just as it is, rather than clinging to how we wish it to be.

Acceptance in Different Areas of Life.

#Personal Growth– Acceptance is a vital for personal growth. When embracing reality as it is, we can unlock potential for resilience, emotional intelligence, and self-discovery. once we resist reality. It creates mental clutter that can slow progress. Acceptance strengthens our resilience. By viewing challenges as opportunities for learning, we are better equipped to adapt and move forward. Accepting uncertainty allows us to embrace change and new opportunities.

#Career– Acceptance allows us to adapt to industry shifts and evolving job roles that we may face. Being fluid with what life throws our way for work or career. Accepting the fact that not everyone is going to like you! Be ok with that. Your life is your life.

#Relationships– Acceptance creates an environment of trust. It allows someone to feel free to be their authentic selves without fear of judgment. When loved ones feel accepted, they are more likely to communicate openly. In turn it will lead to healthier discussions and conflict resolutions. Everyone of us is unique in our own ways. Be ok with that. Don’t try to fit someone into your box of how you want them to be. They may not even be the right person for you! If you or I feel we are not able to be our full goofy, raw and honest self. Then that will cause such an issue! That it can even spider web into a whole lot of other issues. But absolutely have your standards of what you will and will not tolerate. Its important to have healthy boundaries. Also remembering we all have our own flaws and growth journeys. Once you truly accept and understand that. You can then really start to support each other.

Conclusion. 

I wanted to touch on this briefly. But lastly healing yourself.. It’s a vital step toward acceptance, it allows you to confront and process your emotions and experiences. When you engage in self-healing, you gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and past traumas, which will fosters self-compassion and empathy towards others. I still battle with things like. If only this? Or if I only did that! If he or she would have just done this. Time to time absolutely I do. I feel i always will. I now though have a better understanding and clarity in when to and when not to keep holding on. But knowing I will have to continue to be mindful of that battle thats ok! Bring it on. Challenge accepted. Right! You too.. You reading this, tell yourself ” Challenge Accepted” to something you know will be a battle for you. Until next time. Keep Going!
