How to Stop Accepting Your Life and Start Embracing It
The MAGIC in moving from ACCEPTING to EMBRACING:
Consider how much effort, energy, and manipulation is happening to force the mind, which is built upon fear, and the need to keep you safe, to “accept” — when that truly doesn’t feel safe for the mind, and often times it creates more fear.
In fact, this behaviour of “accepting” spirals the mind into states of denial, anger, and making deals (with itself). Instead of seeing a different perspective, the mind thinks up coping and managing strategies to “accept” what it really doesn’t want to.
Accepting can feel like…
→ Having to
→ Compromise
→ Settling
→ Putting up with
→ Active emotions
→ No other choices
→ Attached to an outcome
The alternative: EMBRACING!
Imagine that embracing is always happening in your heart.
Universal consciousness (within you) is in a constant state of embracing whatever is naturally unfolding in life.
Embrace Includes
- Unconditional love
- No judgment
- Openess
- No fear
- No agenda
- Innate priorities
- Unconditional Gratitude
- No attachment
- Individuation (in the heart)
- Surrender -- life unfolding for me
- All possibilities being equal and available
