Recap: Acceptance
Most of us waste a huge amount of time and energy obsessing about things that are not going to change. Here, the simple act of acceptance can make your life a whole lot easier.
Freeing yourself from this unnecessary burden will allow you to get to many more useful priorities. Give it a go. I think you’ll like it 🙂
The checklist
Here is the 1-2-3 to successful acceptance:
- Accept your caveman.
- Our primitive emotions of Craving, Ego, Sloth, Frustration and Worry present many challenges.
- But once you accept and understand them, they become manageable and, sometimes, genuinely entertaining 🙂
- Accept yourself.
- Accepting your caveman makes it much easier to accept yourself.
- You will never be perfect, but you can always improve your emotional balance to reduce wasteful inner conflict.
- Accept the caveman in others.
- Another important source of wasteful inner conflict is festering negative feelings about others.
- In most cases, a little bit of Tolerance of the caveman in others is all that is needed to win back this wasted energy.
I really hope you give acceptance a go! It can free up a lot of time and energy for more useful things 🙂
