Practicing Acceptance

acceptance

It would be nice if everything went according to plan, right?

  • If everyone liked us
  • If our relationships were conflict free
  • If we always got it right on the first try
  • If our friends and family and coworkers and kids would just do what we want them to do

No mistakes. No problems. No icky feelings.

Except life doesn’t roll like that.

I’ve been practicing some new thoughts lately. Thoughts that inspire a feeling of acceptance. And they’ve been rocking my world. 

Ready?

  • There is room in this life for mistakes.
  • There is room in this day for unpleasant feelings.
  • I’m mint chocolate chip – there are going to be people who don’t like my flavor – and that’s okay.
  • I can screw up from time to time and still live an amazing life.

We can choose to allow it all in – the good, the bad and the ugly.

When we’re spending our time trying to manipulate, control and get what WE want out of life – life can be very difficult. It can be downright exhausting. I know – I’m a recovering control freak.

The only thing you can control is how YOU think, feel and act.
When we learn to accept everything that comes into our lives, we are finally free from the pain and suffering of resisting. When we stop trying to control things we can’t control, life can be so much easier.
 
Less Resisting = Less Suffering = Less Overeating

Easy to do – hell no. Worth trying – YES indeed!

What are you resisting in your life Chickadee?
