To be more accepting, consider reflecting on your habitual attitude toward yourself and trying to be more gentle. You can also cultivate acceptance by noticing your resistance, questioning your patterns, being mindful, and considering your inner child.

Wherever you are and whatever you experience, try to be at peace with it. If it’s hard to think positively about your situation, at least don’t focus on the negatives, and instead focus on something you’d like to experience. It may help to make a list of things you’re grateful for and the positive aspects of whatever you resist.

You can adapt and adjust to your present circumstances. Stop avoiding difficult issues and only focusing on what you can’t change. Focus on what you can do about the situation, and if you can’t change something it’s time to accept this reality.
