Acceptance can be a helpful way to move forward if we are feeling stuck.

Trying to challenge our negative thoughts to more positive ones can be hard… especially if we’ve had them a long time.

Accept what we know makes us feel worse, understand what made us think it and then let it go. This can help us to move forward and focus on more positive things in our lives.
