The Blessing of Acceptance

When you're feeling stuck it can seem like you are living inside Alexander's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. On repeat. You wake up in the morning dreading the day ahead and you spend the evening complaining about that day and dreading the next.

Often this cycle is also self-perpetuating. When we expect to have a bad day we usually do. When we go to work believing that our job is the absolute worst all we see all day is proof that we're right. So our brains gloss over the parts that aren't so terrible or maybe even (gasp) pretty good.

Until we accept the true reality of our current situation, we won't be able to get unstuck.
