Mindfulness

Accepting the positive in the day, our life, in ourselves

19/02/2025

It can be easy to see acceptance only as an approach to difficult people or situations.

Lighten the burden

It’s important though to accept what’s positive in the day or in our lives also. Positive acceptance lightens the burden that we put on our shoulders if we consider only what’s negative.

What’s good about you

It’s also important to accept what’s good about ourselves – endless self criticism makes for a painful experience of living. Taking the time to recognise and accept what’s good in us can lighten the load by giving recognition to our positive aspects.

My 15 lesson online course True Friend will teach you self compassion which will help greatly in acknowledging the positive aspects of you. Payment is by donation. More information

I have practised mindfulness since the late 1980s, have taught mindfulness throughout Ireland and in London and have had books on mindfulness published in several countries and languages. I have demonstrated mindfulness on RTE, ITV and TV3 (now Virgin). I provide courses online. My latest book is "Acceptance - Create Change and Move Forward." My aim is to make mindfulness easily accessible to people in their everyday lives.
