Acceptance

-
Acceptance is one of the hardest skills I have yet to master. 


The Serenity Prayer 

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can 
And the wisdom to know the difference. 

God can be whatever you believe in even if it means Good Orderly Directon. A power greater than self. 


Acceptance via the Oxford Dictionary in this instance means 

1. the action of consenting to receive or undertake something offered.

2. willingness to tolerate a difficult or unpleasant situation.


Acceptance according to Wikipedia 

Acceptance in human psychology is a person's assent to the reality of a situation, recognizing a process or condition (often a negative or uncomfortable situation) that is a fait accompli without attempting to change it or protest it.


All of these apply for me. In pushing myself to be accepting I must also apply myself in different ways. I have some faith in life processes. 

I have a faith of my own creation that I fall to. It comes down to a belief that the energy can get better, live in the light of kindness,  watch the stars 🌟.  Life has a path, I believe. 

People, places and things. All complex. All learning curves. It's ongoing experiences. Adjusting my mindset to be accepting of what may or may not come, happen, be true. To take a pause. Consider how to see it/them. Chose to accept and move forward. Be kind. Do your best. That's really the gist of finding some peace in mind. It can make life just that little bit easier. It can free yourself from the chains of rejection and dismissal. 

Finding a means to live a happier, more positive way to get through each day in whatever way possible is why I try my best to live with Acceptance in my heart.

Beautiful Flaws

-
Far far from perfect.  I am made up of so many characteristics. As we have maneuvered this life we know we are also a collection of flaws. Beautiful flaws as they've made me who I am.  With PTSD and D.I.D,  and just being human I've made mistakes.  I have some limitations.  Anxiety plays on me. I cannot be or do what many people can. It's a difficult path. With that does come the side of compassion and understanding of others. I can be soft and sensitive.  Empathy and kindness have grown with my awareness of these feelings and obstructions.  I can be misinterpreted as being controlling when I am just trying to protect myself with boundaries.  Flaws like shortness and impatience. I know I have these.  I have needs you cannot see or understand.  My needs seem unreasonable to you. It's me. Yes.  My ground feels unstable and I can be pushed to a place where my mind state will alter. I Switch persons inside. You cannot understand unless you've educated yourself about me.

In part the definition being the house, apartment, etc. where you live, especially with your family.  I am a family of one body. My mother is in a Retirement Home across town. My aging siblings have families of their own. They are not close in proximity. And we are not in big contact with each other.  For me I had the home I grew up in. The one from 4 to 21. I was married and made a home. Close to my parents. I could make a safe place. I was there even after my marriage dissolved.  When my house was sold, I went back to my parents.  I had a boyfriend and spent usually a few days a week there. But that didn't last. I was safe at home. As my parents were aging and things were going to change I got an affordable apartment.  I've been here 3 years.  In that time I've lost my uncle, his safe cottage that I could go to, I lost my pops/dad, the family home was sold, and my mother's in a Home.  Too much. I really feel displaced.   I haven't been able to make this apartment

Create Support Network

-
Support is needed in life for everyone. Alone is not easy nor practical. The saying ' No man is an island." is a life truth that we survive together.  In times of Social Distancing, with a Pandemic, this can be exremely hard. Services and groups have gone virtual or have just gone completely.  The human mind can only tolerate a certain amount of radical changes and restrictions. Many have had their lives greatly impacted. Financially, iob changes or loss, loss of family and friends to the virus, having to move, strains in relationships, and so forth.  As a society we have angst about what life is to come next as the virus continues in waves.  It is now we are in crucial need of mental health care. We need people with new coping skills. Depression, Anxiety and other illnesses on the rise. As is the number of suicides increasing.  As individuals this is a great time to learn to build your support network.  Determine first what you may need. Examples; -Friends for emotion talk a)
