One Minute Mindfulness - How To Accept Life

In this episode, Geoff Bell-Devaney discusses ways that we can more fully and mindfully accept life no matter what we might happen to be experiencing. He explains the importance of doing our best to embrace reality by staying open to our inner reality and emotions, and how doing so can help us discover greater inner peace and presence.

Transcript

We should do our best to avoid wanting things to be different than they are in this moment,

And try to accept whatever we're experiencing without judgment or frustration.

Pulling away from what is results in pulling away from ourselves and from the reality of life.

Whenever there is pain,

There is an opportunity for learning,

For growing,

And becoming more whole.

However,

In our moments of discomfort,

We often try to change our reality by resisting what is.

We try to make our now more enjoyable,

And in the process,

Often fail to see the deeper meaning of our experiences.

We might,

Instead,

Try to stay open to life as we find it in every moment,

And realize that we cannot always have things our way,

That we are not in charge.

By doing this,

We can begin to accept life as it is,

Even if it is not how we want it to be.
