Acceptance leads to discovery

In some ways I've been in Covid denial; refusing to accept the new normal and telling myself it won't last, etc.  In hindsight, I've spent a lot of energy fighting what was happening.  I do have a tendency to push back on things I don't like. 

It feels like if I accept things I don't like then I'm not making progress on creating the life and health I want.  Whether it's a part of my body that hurts (I have Lyme disease), an emotion I don't want to have, a situation I don't want to
