In this week’s Pause™ the theme we are working on together is Acceptance. What it is, what it isn’t and how we can get better at leaning into it. We discuss how acceptance is an active process. It’s not as people mistakenly think as some form of passive resignation. There's nothing passive about it. Instead acceptance is an act of recognition that things are actually the way they are (and on a deeper level as they are supposed to be.) Acceptance doesn't mean that we can't work to change the world or to change circumstances of one kind or another. However it does mean that unless we accept things as they are, we will try to force things to be as they are not. And that can create an enormous amount of difficulty and suffering. Join us in learning how to put out the welcome mat for whatever arises in our lives. The Goal is Soul. “The curious paradox is when I accept things as they are then I can begin to change.” - Carl Rogers The WhatsApp status that’s there for your mental health 😮‍💨 Pause with us.
