Hello my friends!

Ok, by popular demand—my Therapist Jim Beebe is back! If you are struggling with any difficult places in your life, Jim continues to unwrap this concept of acceptance and surrender. Not acceptance in the sense of 'approval' necessarily, but acceptance as a way of surrender and not fighting reality any more. Fighting reality is exhausting and reality only wins 100% of the time, I've been told. ;)

Jim talks about how we are living in the ‘age of anxiety’ and he dives into what he calls “the gap”—the gap between what we think our lives or specific situations ‘should be’ and what they actually are—the gap is where hurt, disappointment, regret, sadness, resentment, bitterness, anxiety and everything else negative lives at times. Closing that gap IS possible and is magical as it happens. I'm seeing it happen in my own life.

If we have been victimized in any way, our power was taken from us. Jim unpacks and explains how we get our power back, one day at a time.

He mentions The Serenity Prayer:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change

The courage to change the things I can

And the wisdom to know the difference.

Other mentions:

“Small hinges swing big doors.”

Romans 7:15 “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.”

“Acceptance and how we are talking about it, is not approval necessarily. But it’s recognizing that the facts of reality are what they are. And fighting reality does not change reality.”
