Hello Steemians! I bring you a fresh new perspective in the area of psychology hacks. The aspect in our focus today will be acceptance.
The word, by true definition is "Agreement with or belief in an idea or explanation" as oxford puts it. Well here is why it is also a powerful influence to drive change. Our brain is pattern driven and habit seeking in nature and strives hard to settle in a rhythm of life. The small activities we do every day like taking a walk, reading a book or watching a TV show all are strengthening those patterns of neurons to release the dopamine needed to feel content after each activity. The more you maintain that pattern the stronger and faster the neural synapse and greater the dopamine release. For those of us who are trying to shape this pattern prone brain, we often find ourselves stuck in a pattern loop that limits our potential, hurts the chance of new possibilities and reduces overall happiness that we assign to our accomplishments.
The good news is that we are already on track to take control over this loop. When we accept what is here, happened or that might happen we begin to acknowledge this new factor that will help facilitate change and become a guiding beacon to move out of this constant loop that most people tend to lean towards at different times. To be aware and accept will make us have a sense to leap away and move ahead towards progress. This helps change those second nature neuronal responses that once seemed perfect in our autopilot mode. This can help get those out of the box ideas, remove bad habits and be more perceptive to what lies ahead of us. The quality of now increases significantly.
Remember "Acceptance is the key to a new step". It could also be used for a one time deal. Try this, the next time you are in a complex and unreasonable mess , accept it and then begin the next course of steps you want to take. This will help drive the solution faster rather than dwelling in denial, depression or using a lot of hindsight to find some kind of solace. In my view, acceptance brings power, responsibility and speed to turning situations around.
Hope this article has brought a new perception to light. Thanks for the read and see you in the next one!
Resteemed this is really good.

Some things happen that are beyond our control. My take away from this will be applying this idea into plunders that occur in my every daily life that cause me to feel very frustrated. Apply acceptance of small daily problems and let that go into the large more complex deeply embedded problems.
One day at a time.
Two tips since you are new:
"Upvote for upvote" isn't a tag and a lot of Steemians frown on that mentality.
Do a post under the primary tag of #introduceyourself that way you can tell steemit what you're all about and sorry of establish yourself a little
Thanks for your great feedback! I have removed that tag and added life instead. I was not sure how to reach an audience and searched for tag suggestions online and took it. I was not aware of the sentiment revolving around it. I will do an introduction post as you suggest, I think that's a great idea.
Sure thing! Based off this post I can see u have some great potential here. Life Is a great tag for that! There are groups you can get involved with for post promo. Such as PAL, minnowsupport. Not sure where you live but I run @eastcoaststeem a communal curation account. We have a discord. If you're a Facebook person I run Steemit Dreamit. Keep being great!
I have sent join request on Steemit Dreamit. Thanks for the great tips! I really appreciate your thoughts and suggestions!
You're very welcome! I'll let you in
