How to Embrace Radical Acceptance

How often have you had a poor day or have been disappointed that the day didn’t turn out how you wanted it to? Have you ever felt furious, unhappy, disappointed that you weren’t able to change the situation? Maybe you felt like you didn’t have control and it was someone else’s fault that caused you to spiral or derail.    The truth is many of us escape in self-sabotaging behaviors to help soothe us. We inherit core beliefs and self-perception from society and from our close friend circle to keep us from achieving the real success we desire. These beliefs manifest into self-sabotaging techniques that keep us down. Despite these behaviors hurting us in the long-term, we feel comfortable with this and are ‘happy’ with the repeated results.    It can be hard to unlearn these destructive behavioral patterns and re-learn healthier ones. However, the best path forward to creating new changes is to take on a a radical self-acceptance approach. This means you’re not blaming or shaming yourself for your past actions. Instead, you are observing. You are allowing it to ‘be’. Almost like surrendering to the result and just breathing through it. When you recognize that there are simply certain things that are outside of your control, you end up letting go of the ‘should bes’ and the ‘this can’t bes’ and begin acknowledging that this is just what is.    Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
