The Power in Acceptance

Releasing What We Don't Need To Carry

Wouldn’t it be amazing if the year 2023 was remembered as a time you found more peace and acceptance in your life?

As we end this dynamic year, let’s pause together to consider what we’ve learned, how we’ve changed, and what we’re taking with us and choosing to leave behind.

Maybe there is something (or many things) that have happened this year that you never would have chosen, yet still experienced and endured. You likely are still enduring some of these and have the ability to choose how you’re living in this season.

There’s power in acceptance.

First, Reflect On Your Year

I encourage you to carve out some space and time to reflect on the following statements and capture your own reflections. 

This Year Has Been…

It Has Challenged Me In The Following Ways…

I Have Grown In…

I Have Learned…

I Have Released…

I Have Accepted…

Then, Silence Your Inner Critic

Acceptance is often hard when that nagging voice inside your head continues to judge, belittle, and limit you. To truly embrace self-acceptance, you must first silence this inner critic.

Consider the times you silently judge or criticize yourself so that acceptance feels impossible. These are the times you may feel unworthy, under-valued, and unloved. Or maybe you have been made to believe you are “not enough” or even “too much.”  And most often, our Saboteurs hijack our core values and convince us to live according to someone else’s expectations of what we should be doing instead of listening to and following our authentic voice.
