Hello FB! This guided practice for radical acceptance will help you all to identify something you’re resisting, name and experience it, and hopefully make steps toward accepting it. Now I know what a lot of you might be thinking - but I don’t want to accept it, I don’t want this to be happening!
This is common - but radical acceptance isn’t about liking or wanting a certain experience to be. It recognizes the fact that difficult times and pain are inevitable in life and denying or avoiding that pain actually makes it more difficult, more painful, and harder to be kind to ourselves. By accepting, we are opening ourselves up to the full range of human experience and we are often able to see the circumstance more clearly (and hopefully make changes to resolve it).
So, if you notice yourself resisting this practice, that might be a sign you actually would benefit from it. I would love if you all would give this one a try and let me know how it goes in the comments!
