What Is Radical Acceptance? Here are some things to notice in your day to day life.\\xa0

  • Catching your \\u201cshoulds,\\u201d \\u201cought tos,\\u201d and \\u201cmusts\\u201d embedded in thoughts and feelings that counter acceptance, such as \\u201cIt\\u2019s not fair\\u201d; \\u201cIt shouldn\\u2019t be this way\\u201d; and \\u201cI wish it were different.\\u201d But, rather, have acceptance of things as they are.
  • Understanding what you can and cannot control in life.
  • Internalizing that thoughts and feelings can\\u2019t be controlled no matter how hard we try to change, modify, or adjust them. Even if they can be temporarily contained, they eventually return.

One trick to approaching radical acceptance, according to Tara Brach, is to keep the acronym RAIN in mind. RAIN stands for: Recognize and pause to notice; Allow, or accept your current experience; Investigate, by pinpointing what is happening in your mind and body; then Nurture, by bringing compassion to yourself.

Affirmation:\\xa0

I\\u2019m accepting this is happening for a reason, so I\\u2019m going to trust it and step into it.

Oracle Card Reading:\\xa0

  1. Stillness is the key to success.
  2. To travel further on my path of personal growth, I call on my spiritual running buddies for help.
  3. To truly flourish is to release all the tension that holds me back from letting love pour through me.\\xa0
