The Duo of Resistance and Acceptance





"The mental suffering you create is always some form of non-acceptance, 
some form of unconscious resistance to what is. The intensity of the suffering 
depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment."
Eckhart Tolle 

Sensitivities run high as we anticipate or ruminate over holiday seasons.  Even if time shared together is highly rewarding, we may experience disruption in the blend of diverse opinions. We may take things too personally or disallow respect for others. 

We are entitled to our feelings; but, seldom can we singularly change attitudes or perceptions. Too often, we are simply reacting to the choices of others based on how it makes us feel. What is the underlying reason for our judgment?

Without body, mind and spirit alignment, we become easy prey for disillusionment and critical judgment.  Attempt to accept choices before they infringe upon physical health. Choose to  be less defensive and more open to a higher level of interpretation.
