Connect to Calm Moment - I ACCEPT others as they are.
Acceptance is something that many of us struggle with; whether it be acceptance of others, acceptance of ourselves or even sometimes acceptance of the circumstances of our lives.
I think we often feel that by ACCEPTING something that we don't like or we don't prefer, we are giving it energy and strength and welcoming it into our lives...but actually, it is only through acceptance that we can allow for flow and movement and release of those very things.
As humans, we tend to believe that by our actions and our judgements we can control the world around us and therefore manufacture the outcomes that we desire, but when we hold tight to the need for control we end up living in a state of resistance and where there is resistance there is no room for the flow of something new.
Developing a mindset of acceptance can be hard, but when we stop trying to control the things that are truly out of our control, we open doors for the things we don't prefer to leave and allow space for more of what we desire to flow to us.
I hope today you enjoy practicing THE ART OF ALLOWING!
EDIT to add: Learning ACCEPTANCE, is like learning to float. When you relax and allow your body to trust and support you, you automatically float to the top of the water. When you tense out of fear or lack of trust that it is possible that the water can hold you, you sink. Learning to float is hard but the reward...so much peace and freedom.
