Change starts when you take full ownership of your life situation. A book that was highly impactful for me in this regard was Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach. Essentially, we must decide to accept all the parts of our current life including our physical, emotional, spiritual, mental, environmental, financial, and relationship situation. Everything around us is a reflection of us. How do we change the parts we don't love?

We first start with acceptance and work through our feelings of guilt, shame, and fear that come into our lives. As we accept all that has happened, we can start to look in the present and ask ourselves how we can move forward to shift our future. By accepting all of ourselves and sending compassion and appreciation to all that we are, we can then own the present and create a new future.
