Lana discusses how essential it is for our psychological and physical health to do our best at accepting what is. She dives into what practices she works hard at to make sure she does not allow things she does or has, define who she is. She talks about how we should do our part to keep outside forces, and more importantly things that we cannot change, from affecting our overall mood, behavior, and personality. Seeking to learn about ourselves, our loved ones, and those around us goes along way to helping us grow in this way. It is important that we realize that we are the average of the people that we spend our time with, and that some selfishness to maintain a healthy circle goes a long way for our mental health. Listen to the episode to hear all of the benefits that accepting what is holds, and what other key things we can do to tip the scale in our favor and help us maintain resiliency, compassion, and good spirits.
