May you be gentle with yourself. In my own experience acceptance is sort of a three steps forward, two steps back sort of process as we learn to live with what is, and keep our hearts open.

I am still overwhelmed by feelings of loss, being betrayed and even being blamed for, which makes me struggle with anger and desperation.

I chose that to cause me to focus on what I'm learning and not just in what I'm seeking. Inclusivity is a heavy word for me. I've often felt disconnected to my life along with the events and people in it. Needless to say I struggle to feel included even when I already am. Your work has helped me tremendously along the way and this piece continues to do so. Thank you for being vulnerable and giving free space for others. Thank you for helping me discover again this morning that when I work with what is I become a part of all that's around me. Hope you're feeling better soon.

You've inspired me to stand back and consider my attitude to my own health problems, anxiety and IBS. It's time I stopped fighting them so hard and sometimes just accept that I need to treat my body with compassion and understanding, to accept how things are at this moment and rest, relax, let go, rather than continue trying to find energy that isn't there, to resist what my body's saying and prove my "strength". My word(s) for the year have to be "be still". (My word for my life is the closely-related "surrender" - high time I applied that to looking after my body!). I hope you soon feel better xxAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11603126077385854963noreply@blogger.com
