How to Overcome Anxiety

Resource Alert:

To help you put this strategy into practice, we’ve created a Mindfulness + Radical Acceptance Exercise. Give it a try – it’s designed to support your journey.

This is a guide to creating a radical acceptance mantra, which you can use in conjunction with the mindful exercises mentioned below.

The term “radical acceptance” refers to acknowledging reality as it is, without judgment or resistance.

The term “mindfulness” refers to a mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.

This combination is a powerful way to enhance your mindfulness practice and validate your experiences and intuition, leading to higher self-trust. 

Step 1: Identify Key Phrases

Think of phrases that resonate with your understanding of acceptance. These might include affirmations like “I accept this moment,” “I trust my experience,” or “This is how it is right now.”

Step 2: Incorporate Personal Elements

Tailor the mantra to your personal journey and needs. Include phrases that specifically address trusting your intuition or acknowledging your feelings.

Step 3: Keep it Simple and Positive

A mantra should be easy to remember and positive in tone. For instance, “I trust my intuition and accept my reality” is simple yet profound.

Step 4: Write It Down

Once you have your mantra, write it down. It would help if you kept it somewhere visible as a regular reminder.

Step 5: Integrate with Mindfulness Practice

  • Sit or lie comfortably.
  • Close your eyes and take a deep breath in.
  • Exhale slowly, focusing on the sensation of air leaving your body.
  • Recite your mantra silently to reinforce trust in your intuition.
  • Repeat this process for 3-5 minutes.
