Acceptance

Notes:

• As soon as the bad thing happens, accept that it has happened. Face the reality of the misfortune without flinching.
• Why is this important: because if you don’t do this, it will flip into regret and fantasizing. 
  • “If only I had…”
  • “I wish I could go back…” etc.
• You can only start from where you are.
• In a way, your life starts here and now. The only part of your life that matters in terms of you having actual agency, starts right now. Acceptance connects you with the here and now so you can start.
• Thought experiment: the death bed perspective. 
  • From that perspective your current situation is an incredible opportunity.
