Published: March 24, 2020, 4:59 a.m.

b'In these very strange and difficult days, the stress, anxiety, and depression can be very real and very, very powerful. \\n\\nBut there is a tool we all possess to stop the cycle of negative emotions that keep us mired in these states. \\n\\nThis tool is called acceptance. \\n\\nBut acceptance doesn\\u2019t mean acquiescence. Or being passive to your situation and surrendering the power to change. \\n\\nIn fact, acceptance is an active, strength-based act. \\n\\nBut because it doesn\\u2019t necessarily come naturally, it requires practice. \\n\\nIf you\\u2019d like to learn about some simple practices to get started on acceptance and get out of the stress, anxiety, and depression you may be feeling, send me an email at art@artburnscoaching.com so we can set up a time to talk.'
