Do you feel comfortable just letting things be as they are? That’s acceptance, and the reality is it looks differently for everyone, especially in the face of chaos or change. When in unfamiliar or uncertain circumstances, you may feel a need to control external events. However, what you’re likely trying to actually control is your emotional state.

We all become accustomed to seeing life one way, and shifting to a new perspective isn’t easy. Learning to trust your body’s intuition and intelligence is key—our bodies are always able to manage what they need. There will be bumps in the road, but taking the time to relearn listening to our bodies is a great way to practice acceptance.
