Serenity: How To Accept What You Can't Change And Have The Courage To Change What You Can
•
Philip Lunt
Reinhold Niebuhr's Serenity Prayer states "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." This episode continues the theme of reducing stress and overwhelm by examining what we can do to help us to accept the inevitable, or to make headway into challenges we might feel are too overwhelming.
Acceptance and the ability to overcome procrastination are two vital tools which can help us reduce our levels of stress and avoidance. Once we've stabilised, we can come up for air and move into a compassionate, happy and proactive state of being.
