Welcome to IVF This Episode 58: Acceptance, it isn’t what you think it is

Hello, hello, hello my beautiful friends. I hope you’re all doing so well. 

We are already into 2022 and that’s REALLY hard for my brain to understand. Like it’s kind of rejecting that another year has gone by but, alas, that is why acceptance is a beautiful topic for today. 

Acceptance is one of the most challenging things to embrace. I mean, believe me, I still work on it daily. And most people tend to think of acceptance as either being like happy or content with how something is happening, maybe you might think of needing to be a doormat to life of other people. Now these are just a couple of examples that I am sharing with you but what’s important to know if that most every reason to resist acceptance comes down to some variation of these two things. 

I think most of us intellectually know that acceptance and peace are very aspirational things. I think most of us, really want to experience acceptance and peace. They sound so lovely, right? Just the visual image alone when I think of peace, is very calming. 

So if most of us want that, why is it so damn hard?

Well, it’s because when we accept something, or when we take steps to accept something we in turn give up the fantasy of how we thought that thing should play out. Literally, whatever it is. A relationship, a job, and for those of you listening to this podcast, how the journey to our family would look.
