Accept, Change or Let Go?

What are my options? How do I respond to my thoughts and feelings?
I can accept, change or let go...

"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."   Viktor Frankl

What are my options?

CHANGE

ACCEPT

or

LET GO

CHANGE

• What can I change?  Environment, situation or my reaction?
• How can I make the changes?
• What resources do I need?
• When can I do it?
• What do I do first?

ACCEPT

• It is as it is
• I don't have to agree with it, or judge it good or bad
• I can always come back to it later
• I can keep my options open
• This is a normal body reaction
• I don't have to fight it, or try to stop it
• It will pass

LET GO

• Is it worth it?
• Is this something I can leave or let go, and move on from?
