Could you tell me a time you felt acceptance?

I’m not sure most people would coin “acceptance” as an emotion but it is for me. I like to visualize myself at the center of a tornado completely still. Watching the movement, the chaos and the feelings and not making it mean anything. I cultivate acceptance of what is because-from that state everything can move and flow as it should. It’s when we resist that we feel stuck, when we feel engulfed in emotion and we feel isolated and alone. We are perfectly human and “happiness” is not the only emotion on the menu. Some days look like anxiety, others deep sorrow, and then there bliss, joy and calm. It’s about accepting what is and letting those emotions (energy in motion) move through us so they do not get trapped and stored in our bodies. Acceptance to me is the key.
