How to find peace through mindful acceptance, writes ThisJenKim
, describes mindfulness as “the practice of being aware of the present moment and without judgement” and essentially the key to mastering acceptance or the ability “to be non-reactive to people, events and our own thoughts and feelings.”
Mindfulness sounds like a simple concept in theory but practicing it successfully is far from simple. When’s the last time I didn’t judge, criticize or critique a situation that wasn’t to my liking?A powerful step in our path toward mindful living, says Harrison, is to stop thinking in terms of “right” and “wrong.” This is challenging, especially if you’ve already set your mind on things happening or being a certain way. .
So Harrison’s advice is to practice “calm observation”, which is to try to perceive things without reacting to them. Doing so “trains the mind to experience negative thoughts and feelings in a non-reactive way.” That said, you shouldn’t hide or stifle your emotions. You can and should feel however you feel, but the key is to take a step back and observe “what is happening in the present moment, and not getting lost in thoughts or feelings,” he says.
