Some key takeaways from Zara Brach’s wonderful book, Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life with the Heart of a Buddha.
- Love yourself.
- Forgive yourself and others.
- We are all connected. Helping others is helping yourself.
- Pause and accept. No need to react, say too much or add tension to difficult situations.
- Come home to the body. Make time every day to sit in stillness. Watch the breath. Thoughts and feelings dance. Watch them without judgement.
- Desire is part of the human condition. It’s normal to compare yourself to others, to want more than you have. Be aware of desire and its tendency to bring suffering.
- Be grateful for what you have.
- Let things be.
