January 2022: Acceptance.
Acceptance in human psychology is a person’s assent to the reality of a situation, recognizing a process or condition (often a negative or uncomfortable situation) without attempting to change it or protest it. With the Year of Intention in mind, I employ you all to actively engage in being intentional by practicing acceptance. Trust me, I know that it may be challenging especially when we are unintentionally not being accepting. But it’s such a blessing to accept yourself, your story, your journey, where you’ve come from and where you have to go. And just how we all take pride in ourselves and the strides we’ve made, we must always remember what it took to get there. We have to remember the lows sometimes, just because every day won’t be filled with rainbows and sunshine. However, we must also remember this so that we can give that acceptance and grace to others. And I believe accepting people for who they are and where they are will lead to a lot less disappointment. So today, I encourage you all to think about the year of intention and being accepting. And remember to love yourself, because you deserve to be loved!
