'Acceptance' is a feeling that we cannot easily learn in our lives, but which is very good for us if we can discover it... In difficult times, we often respond with denial to cope with our negative emotions, but no matter how we react, we all encounter this feeling sooner or later.
So, have you ever asked yourself why it is so difficult to accept? Is it because of the intensity of our sense of control, or because we are so sure that everything will happen and end under our control?
You have tried all the ways, but there is another way. Sometimes it is enough to just accept it, to be able to surrender yourself to the flow... To be able to abandon yourself to the river flowing inside you... This is the moment when you face all your efforts and excuses that you always wanted to be under your own control... The thoughts you have controlled all this time are now against you and you realize that you are no longer in control. Don't you want to see it?
How much of the flow of your life is in your hands?
Acceptance, contrary to popular belief, does not mean not being able to do anything, but letting things pass through your life without controlling them. And in fact, it is to witness this process. Just like our birth... Actually, we are the ones who know us best in every process.
Just as we have positive emotions such as happiness, joy and excitement, negative emotions such as anger, disappointment and anxiety belong to us. While we notice and accept positive emotions and get involved in the process immediately, we do not want to accept our negative emotions. While we tell our loved ones not to be sad when they see us, we actually continue to be sad. Rejecting or not accepting is not good, but we don't know what to do.
Just like a wound on our body... In fact, our negative emotions also need care and being seen in order to heal. The more you pick that wound and try to ignore it, the more it bleeds and the slower it heals. If you accept negative emotions as wounds, they actually teach and show us what is good and what is not. Now close your eyes and remember the last time you felt bad. What exactly happened? What was going through your mind? What did you feel? For example, were you worried, ugh? are you bald? Now turn to yourself and feel compassion for yourself who is experiencing those emotions. Sometimes even turning to ourselves and finding and accepting those emotions can be healing. Pain is also a part of human nature, and if you accept it and treat it with compassion, it will heal. If you reject and ignore it, it will continue to bleed.
4 Golden Rules
1. Listen to yourself when you feel negative emotions and accept the pain you feel (anger, anxiety, sadness, shame, guilt…) instead of rejecting it! 2. Accept that these emotions you are experiencing are difficult, but the only person in the world who experiences these emotions is you. Remember that you are not, remind yourself at every opportunity!
3. Focus on what you need to calm yourself down and make you feel good!
4. Accept that all emotions, good and bad, belong to us and let them pass through you! p>
