Acceptance is one of the most powerful and difficult things we can do. It’s not saying we’re OK with a situation, because we’re not. It’s recognizing what is within our control and focusing on that, while letting go of what is not. Getting to a place of acceptance over things you can’t control, although a difficult process, can lead to significant improvements in mental health.

Life doesn’t always go as planned. Build resilience to adapt to unexpected changes and feel better. Our initial reaction may be to get stressed out, but if we lean into our resilience that we’ve built up, we can quickly pivot to coping and problem solving. Learning to reframe negative thoughts, mitigate rumination, focus on the big picture, infuse gratitude and more can help.

If you get stuck in a worrying loop, try distracting yourself with something that makes you laugh. It can stop the ruminating and reset things. Whether it’s reading something or watching a short video, your mind can lighten and be distracted just enough to get out of those challenging thoughts. In addition to humor, you can use other things such as music, art, exercising and more to distract you and get back on track to processing emotions in a healthy way and making progress on goals.

Here’s one example: You’ve tried everything, but that difficult person just won’t change. Sometimes the right move is to just cut that person out of your life. But what if you can’t do that because it would affect other people you care about or you have to work with that person? Acceptance of something you can’t control isn’t approval. It’s a way to better manage emotions and move forward. It’s about being proactive in caring for your mental health instead of being reactive and getting upset whenever predicable things happen. Acceptance is not usually attained immediately, but if you work on it, you can get there. And it will make you more resilient in facing other challenges.
