4 Strategies for practicing Radical Self-Acceptance

Radical Self-Acceptance Painting by Jennifer Mazzucco #mindfulness #self-judgment #RadicalSelfAcceptance #negativethinkingpatterns #thoughts Radical acceptance involves acknowledging how life unfolds without resistance, even if we don't like things at any given moment. It can take effort to apply this principle. How can we begin to accept our situation and ourselves despite experiencing anxiety, uncertainty, and fear? Why self-acceptance is not the same as complacency. It is essential now, more than ever, to practice radical self-acceptance. This means training ourselves to find inner stability despite unpredictable external circumstances. Ultimately, we are responsible for acknowledging our hidden wounds, which can lead to personal and collective growth. Radical self-acceptance is the opposite of avoiding responsibility or giving up in self-defeat. It requires pushing against old ways of being to open the door to deep healing. Embracing radical self-acceptance allows us to int...

Filling A Plus-Size Fashion Void On ‘Shrill’

#Shrill #AidyBryant #Hulu #SNL Aidy Bryant obviously isn’t the same person as Annie, the character she plays on “Shrill,” but the two have at least one thing in common: enviable fashion sense. On the Hulu show, aspiring writer Annie dons cute dresses with eye-catching patterns or buttoned-up collared shirts as she handles the blows of life in Portland, Oregon. It’s a kind of easy, feminine style that’s not a far cry from the vibe seen on “ Saturday Night Live ” star Bryant’s Instagram or in her red carpet choices . “Originally, I was just like, ‘Oh my God, she, just in her own life, has such great fashion,’” said “Shrill” costume designer Amanda Needham of Bryant. She described finding Annie’s style as a “collaboration” with the actress, mixing Bryant’s IRL look with “cool girl, Portland, poppy colors, really exciting moments.” But there was one problem: A lot of the looks that Needham had in mind didn’t exist. At least, not in Bryant’s size. For a...

Remembering Martin Luther King Jr.: Some of His Most Powerful Quotes

#MLK #MartinLutherKingJr #IHaveaDream “We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.” – from his Dec. 18, 1963, speech at Western Michigan Universty “If a man hasn’t discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.” – during a speech in Detroit, Michigan, on June 23, 1963 “On some positions cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.” – during a Feb. 6, 1968, speech in Washington, D.C. “The beauty of genuine brotherhood and peace is more precious than diamonds or silver or gold.” – from his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in Oslo, Norway, on Dec. 10, 1964 “Violence is impractical because it is a descendi...
