Some extra clarifications (read this after listening to the episode): Accepting your present leads to stillness, and in that stillness, you get creative ideas on what to do next. On the other hand, if you never accept the present, all your next moves are rooted in fear, you will be thinking in the same manner which caused the problem in the first place- thus repeating the pattern. So accepting the present is not a weak act, it doesn't lead to stagnation, it leads to change and growth, that is real and lasting. ACCEPT, THEN ACT. Also, if you find yourself in such deep pain, that you don't want to face it, it's okay to temporarily distract yourself- we are all in the process of evolving. But, at some point, you will have to face it- when you decide that you have reached that point and that distraction starts causing you more pain than relief, listen to this episode on how to face those fears. Love and light to you all, R 💜
