Resistance is causing you to become what you resist.
Interesting isn't it?
The more you resist that thing -the more powerful it becomes. Acceptance is more powerful than resistance because acceptance absorbs the obstacle while resistance hardens and solidifies the obstacle.
Whenever I experience myself resisting I stop and ask myself this question: "What exactly am I resisting here?" That helps me clarify it.
Then I move on to acceptance... I ask myself: "Can I wholly and completely accept this for what (or whom) it/they are?"
If the answer's no I go back to the first question and start over until I can fully accept it/them.
Acceptance isn't condoning behaviour -it is giving up empowering the bahaviour. It is about accepting reality -as things REALLY are instead of resisting reality. When you are accepting of reality then you can move and deal with reality!
