Do you find yourself thinking and saying things like, “The pandemic was supposed to be nearly over,” and “We should have been able to return to normal life by now”?
As Marsha Linehan reminds us, when we say reality should be different, we are saying that the rules of the universe should be different - that causes should not have effects.
Despair, bitterness, and resentment result from failures in radical acceptance. By accepting what is true, conceding the facts of the moment, and ceasing to fight our current reality, we can find peace with it. This means bringing a willingness to fully accept the moment - with our heart, mind, and body.
May we open ourselves to the reality of where we are in this pandemic right now, and thus gain the freedom and peace that comes with radical acceptance.
