Radical acceptance does not necessarily mean feeling better, but rather,
simply sitting with what is uncomfortable.
And after some time with that?
Changing
our focus of the moment. Turning ourselves toward something else . A new focus.
For survivors, physically moving ourselves
from one spot to another…in to outside. One room or place to another. Because
once we couldn’t. And now we can.
Sometimes the bright early morning may
feel so weighted and blunted. And so we pick ourselves up, embrace ourselves
with a smile we find somewhere or other, and turn ourselves toward something
new; something fresh, something away from the stuckness of the thick and the
blunt and the uncomfortable.
Something that reflects so many other
vantage points that we actually can access, if we simply take ourselves to the
left a bit, or turn ourselves toward the sunrise, or change our morning
routine, or sing a bright song on the way to work, with vigor J , annoying the heck out of
ourselves, as we pull ourselves from the muck, and back on track.
