RE: Psychology Addict # 28 | Mindfulness - Acceptance, Awareness & Being Present

in #psychology7 years ago (edited)

My dearest friend @mother2chicks

Thank you so much for bringing your knowledge and experience to this discussion. Despite all the attention mindfulness is gaining at the moment, there is still a lot of skepticism around it. Still, I am an optimist and I see positive psychology as the psychology of the future! All we need to do is spread the word :D

Acceptance is indeed a tricky one; an old professor of mine who suffered from recurrent depression told us once that only when he accepted that recurrent depression was part of who he was (not entirely who he was) did his treatment began to show positive effects. He said he even went from accepting who he was, to actually loving who he was most of the time!

Lots of love to you always :)

This sounds so sweet, adoring who you are no matter what - which should actually enable us to use our full potentials, and even 'negative' traits for positive purposes (' ' because I believe that negativity and positivity are just artificial constructs made by non-absolutely-perfect common mindset :D) And that is what I actually need to work on I guess. :)
