In life, we experience both unpleasant and pleasant events. Most of us tend to embrace pleasant events and resist unpleasant experiences. However, unpleasantness is an inevitable part of life. We cannot avoid it or run away from it. But we still
try to.

When we experience unpleasant thoughts, emotions, or events, we try to eliminate the unpleasantness. For example, if we feel sad, we immediately think, “I do not want to be sad. What can I do to cheer up?" A conflict ensues then between what is happening at the moment and what we want to be experiencing. We then resort to strategies to fix the discrepancy between what we feel and what we want to feel. For example, we might distract ourselves, engage in positive thinking, or try to suppress our thoughts.

Unfortunately, thought suppression does not work andleads to more thoughts about what we want to avoid (Wegner et al., 1987). Suppose we ask you, "Do not think of a white bear." Did you think of a white bear? Most people do. As you can see, thought suppression is paradoxical and counterproductive. Instead of frantically trying to suppress or avoid our feelings and thoughts, it is more beneficial to accept the experience as is.

Acceptance is the opposite of avoidance. It is the willingness to experience what is happening in the present. Whether pleasant or unpleasant, acceptance allows you to connect with the present moment with a non-judgmental attitude.

There are many misconceptions about acceptance. Acceptance is not indifference or resignation. You can accept something without giving up or deciding to do nothing about it. When we do not accept a situation, we waste a lot of time and energy trying to change something that cannot or should not be changed. Practicing acceptance allows you to avoid this conflict, acknowledge that things are a certain way, and from there, you can use your energy mindfully and wisely.

So, do you practice acceptance when you experience unpleasant thoughts or feelings? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

A plant needs water to grow or else it dies. A relationship needs understanding and love in order to grow or else it dies slowly. Same as, we need to work on our health, body and mind.
If you don't put effort in staying healthy and fit, you will start gaining weight and become unhealthy.
We as Muslims need to let go of our bad habits, build better habits, pray on time, read Quran consistently, also to get closer to Allah. All of these are fruitful results of self development in Islam that takes time, energy and effort & helps us in becoming better human beings.
Purifying our souls, is one of the great therapeutic feeling to overcome the darkness we’re surrounded by & guess what it will only attract more goodness into our lives 🌸
