Accept Whatever You Are NOT Accepting

[@Ouranos369]

Acceptance = acknowledgement that something is real, valid, true. Acceptance does not imply approval, tolerance, or that you like the thing. That's very helpful Teal I used to conflate acceptance with approval but then I realized "it is what it is".

[@SenSakura-dj6bq]

People misuse the words acceptance and forgiveness too often when something bad happens.

[@Nate1975]

Yes, it is essentially stopping fighting against that thing

[@Infiniteunion88]

I am Briggs. Once I accepted, I couldn't commit to things too far ahead because I didn't know how I'll feel the day of, I started saying either no or maybe to plans. It relieved alot of pressure on me to force myself to do things I didn't want to do just to please others. Pleasing others while you suffer is the worst.

[@calvinchew7985]

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference,

[@millanferende6723]

Original prayer is: O God, give us the serenity to accept what cannot be changed, the courage (cor ‘heart' in Latin, 'denoting the heart as the seat of feelings') to change what can be changed, and the wisdom to know the one from the other. It talks about Us, connected. The "me" can be useful but also does not expand our consciousness beyond the "me". The original prayer is "us." Also, courage, comes from your feelings of the heart.

Radical acceptance brought me out of a drug addiction that lasted half of my life. I still have issues with accepting the unworkability of my significant other so the first example is perfect for me. Thanks Teal for giving teachings that are exactly what I need, when I need them. It's perfect for the mind loops that have been playing most recently!

[@zoraidadumit4126]

Accepting situations or events is hard for me because it makes me feel powerless and small on the fact that I cannot change them. It also makes me think that it should not be this way and therefore I need to fix it no matter what it takes. Accepting makes me feel stuck, because it was not supposed to be like this, because if something goes wrong I blame myself and then I want to fix it. I can't leave it like that. What does not let me accept things is the fear that if I let it slide it might get worst later on or I might start becoming a lazy person or etc. Because when I am on the process of finally accepting something, intrusive thoughts come to my mind making me believe that I did not try hard enough and that I am giving up too easily.

[@lansingday1453]

Thank you for your good advice about the importance of accepting. In my experience, when I recognised and accepted at heart the Truth that my mother and father truly gave me life, and therefore both lived inside all of me, in every cell of my body--I began to say "thank you" and this was the beginning of healing...of forgiveness; bringing release and freedom. Now, giving thanks to them and to all my ancestors is part of my daily practice. Makes me smile! may all beings be free 🙏🏼

[@Tutume1111]

I'm the opposite..my parents gave me life but that's it.They also gave me abandonment issues and other BPD traits. Its hard to accept that there are not many people around me ( no one ) who has been so neglected and abandoned by family like myself and that's tough that no matter how much I try and work so hard to be the best version of myself i will never be loved the way I needed to

One of the biggest mistakes I used to make around accepting what is was to unconsciously equate accepting what is with accepting that it will stay that way. I even had this belief that by accepting how things are right now I would perpetuate them into the future. When I found out that the opposite is true and that I'm only able to take ownership of my "now" AND the future by accepting things how they are in this very moment, everything changed. It's like I discovered that what I always thought would be a door that keeps me stuck in fact was a door to the freedom I couldn't find before.

Accept, surrender by being in the present moment , and what someone mentioned, what you resist persist..as Teal conveyed and these are concepts of Eckhart Tolle… it takes a lot of practice, but once you can do it, you feel more at peace with whatever it is that is challenging you whether it be a person or a situation…. It doesn’t have the control of the effect of your thoughts as it did, if you keep resisting or being reactive to it.

[@mathildaa2996]

SPOILER ALERT!!! I recommend Girl, Interrupted, a movie from 1999. Main character Susanna realizes in the end that she’s not so disorderly or “borderline” after all. She embraces the side of herself that is considered a disorder, and liberates herself from societal expectations and pressures. Whether we like to accept it or not, women are still expected to conform in such a way that they are considered “sick” if they don’t. The point that I’m trying to make is that there is no such thing as Borderline. Personality is neither disorderly or permanent. Women have been called all sorts of things since who knows when for simply having certain reactions to certain events. You mentioned consequences of certain traumas. Being misdiagnosed by money-hungry psychiatries is a consequence. But that’s just my two cents. Not even using the term “borderline” is a radical step to change.
