Acceptance (Part 2)

Acceptance (Part 2) ACCEPTANCE SURRENDER HARMONY

Talking to a professional is confidential and there is no judgment. Feeling safe to tell your story in your own words, is the first step and there is no need to go into every little detail. You are in control of how much and how detailed you choose to be. A ‘sketch’ of your life story is enough. The words we choose and the feelings that surface, are little clues as to what lies beneath the surface. You will gain insight and understanding to why you are not ok. This starts the process of the shift in self-awareness and is the way towards acceptance.

As we begin to understand the younger self, our emotional empathy towards ourselves and our life experiences open up. Feelings and thoughts are tested in our belief system about life and people. That which life has proven to be true is then confirmed by more life examples.

We know that we are not OK when: “I can’t concentrate, I get angry all the time, I cry myself to sleep, I feel the urge to just run away” and many more thoughts live on our hamster wheel of the mind.

Our emotional tank fills up systematically as we experience life. With limited life skills to release and re-balance our emotional and mental health we eventually reach overflow or overwhelm, meaning we are unable to cope with basic life stresses.

The endurance test is the ability and capacity of pretense that we are ok. Everyone has a breaking point or realization that the coping mechanism no longer work and will end up in self-destruction. Acknowledging that we are not ok is the first step towards acceptance.

Challenging our hard wiring – our mind programming of our belief system of: “this is true and this is not” is the process that will bring us that much closer to the liberating process of acceptance.
