Radical acceptance is a very powerful principle to practice in your
life. Great inner
peace and contentment comes when you know this way of thinking about
life and you may find it a way of boosting
self-esteem.
When an event is about to happen or has happened take a moment to first
observe the event before you..
decide whether they are right or wrong (judge)
interpret an event as meaning something about you
(e.g. he forgot my birthday therefore I am not worthy enough)
pretend it has not happened (denial)
react to it (anger/rage for example)
Radical acceptance is to first acknowledge how something is in your
life. This doesn't include your desires, wishes or
preferences, it is simply facing the honest truth with
impartial self observation and non-judgmental awareness about how
things are.
In summary you can practice this and simply let go and
let God.
This means taking a perspective on life that is more inclusive of
reality. Faith that you are not a separate object in the world
needing to be
totally in control of everything.
You can know this to be true by acknowledging you didn't produce what
you know to be yourself and you simply need to look at the ocean or
stars to see there is a lot you don't know...
and that is fine, in fact encouraged.
You don't need to control every aspect of your life. You cannot
control other people and events.
If something is going to happen or has happened then instead of acting
immediately and unconsciously with one of the four points above, you
create some space within which you first of all observe. Then you
have conscious awareness in which to respond and the response will be
more empowering and involve greater power than an unconscious reaction.
