I'm finding myself struggling more with some albums to keep my attention focused, so that's interesting. I also find my posture sagging, which I know is a general problem for me. Not sure if it's something to work on here, or whether it's "inevitable" here or what. Hmm.
Acceptance is definitely the other bit--even before I had the "guides" suggesting it, it was something I was trying to do, but finding the space between reveling and rejecting where accepting exists has been difficult for sure. I did get some extra practice today with something that felt like bad news (that was practice in-and-of itself, really: looking at the news itself, trying to accept it and so on) so that helped--I think?
- I appreciate that I am learning that greater acceptance, in some situations if not others. That I'm still striving to let things in and move around, so that I can really accept some of the things that I know I need to for my own sake. The effort alone is meaningful to me.
- I can improve on this by: practicing more! Acceptance remains hard =)
- I appreciate that I've found the fortitude (or whatever it is) to continue with the things I think are important, even when it feels like "the system" suggests I should do otherwise. Work, in particular, has been hitting this theme a lot, and I've been deciding to continue to act on what I think I bring value with, rather than whatever might stumble across my vision.
- I can improve on this by making sure I don't give in to the despairing kind of acceptance where I feel impotent ant pointless, simply because some rules or whatnot have told me I'm not supposed to do the valuable thing no one else is doing either.
- I appreciate that I feel like I'm working toward a positive balance in being able to recognize my flaws and the difficulties that don't stem entirely from myself. This being a pretty high-up goal, I'm happy I feel like there's been progress on it.
- I can improve on this by trying to keep myself and others in mind as much as possible, and forgiving myself when I goof it up, knowing I'll still be striving to get it right.
