We Are #MightyTogether

I used to think acceptance meant giving up. If something hurt, disappointed me, or wasn’t how I wanted it to be, accepting it felt like saying it was okay.

But acceptance doesn’t mean you approve of what happened. It means you stop spending all of your energy wishing reality were different before deciding what to do next.

You can’t control how someone treats you. You can control whether you keep giving them access to you. You can’t change what has already happened. You can decide what you carry forward from it. And you can’t make every part of life go according to plan, but you can learn to meet yourself with a little more patience when it doesn’t.

Sometimes peace isn’t finally getting everything the way you wanted it. Sometimes it’s realizing you can still build a good life with what is here.

What’s something you’ve become more at peace with as you’ve gotten older?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

A recent study found that just 20 minutes of aerobic walking improved connections between brain areas involved in cognition.
