Some tips for how to survive these uncertain times we live in.

When we face a serious problem in our lives, we basically have 4 choices:

1. Figure out how to solve the problem

2. Change how we feel about the problem

3. Accept the current situation

4. Stay miserable -- or make things worse (by acting on impulsive urges)

When you can't solve the problem or change your emotions about the problem, try acceptance as a way to reduce your suffering. Why?

• Rejecting reality does not change reality.

• Changing reality requires first accepting reality.

• Rejecting reality turns pain into suffering

• Refusing to accept reality can keep you stuck in unhappiness, anger, shame, sadness, bitterness, or other painful emotions.
