Hi Abigail, Good morning. I finish reading your post and I am very interested.
Psychology has always attracted me because it studies many things in our heads that we do not understand, but everything has a reason to be. That's why I like it.
The three means, that Minfulness raises are states of accepting reality and dealing with it despite how uncomfortable or painful it can be.
One of the things that I have implemented in my life lately has been the acceptance of who I am, because this allows me to be clear about who I am, with my virtues and defects, because if I do not deceive myself and I can not improve.
Another thing that I have had to do is face up to the circumstances that I would like not to go through but if I do as if they were not there, again I deceive myself and my life becomes bitter. Then accept reality is necessary, because if not, you will never face things, becoming cowards and letting life go without living healthily.
Buddha is right when he says: "to live a life where we directly engage with suffering instead of trying to avoid it".
And yes, I accept that life has pain but I do not accept it as a way of life, so we have to face it.
I'm learning is to face what I fear most, and casually I wrote about this yesterday, talk about fear, as a result of my own story.
When we are afraid we try to avoid that person, animal or that something that terrifies us and you start to escape from it trying to forget just for a little while. But then it repeats again filling you with anxiety.
Maybe I expose about fear and my result has been to face it. Maybe for others their life is different and the solution to their state is to recognize and cry until they run out of everything they feel, change their place, do a treatment, go out, get distracted, have fun, but without doubt they have to face it first Having the will to decide Even though pain affects too much, it can not be a definitive state.
So the state of acceptance, of being present and becoming aware will be necessary.
Today thanks to your post I understand what psychologically means to overcome certain uncomfortable episodes.

Thank you for taking the time to discuss this topic further @rosibelsac. Your words are really meaningful! Whatever it is your are going trough now I believe you have the mental strength to face and not be frightened by it. And the only reason I say this is because of how you digested this topic and commented here :)
All the best to you!
