Day 25: Practicing Acceptance


Listen Later

Acceptance means noticing your experience and simply acknowledging it, rather than judging it as good or bad.

Many of us grow up with the belief that we need to constantly achieve, improve, or become something more. We're taught, often subtly, that we must “make something” of ourselves.

These unspoken expectations can lead us into a cycle of striving and struggle, always chasing the next achievement, purchase, or version of ourselves that we think will finally bring happiness.

In this mindfulness meditation, you’re invited to pause — to recognise where you are, as you are — and practice accepting your current state without needing to change it.

Join our Month of Mindfulness Challenge

30 days of short daily practices to help you slow down, check in, and care for your mind.
