Radical Acceptance: Stop Wasting Energy on What You Can’t Control
Life has a way of knocking us sideways—sometimes with big blows, sometimes with something as small as running out of pasta. The frustration isn’t really about the pasta, though. It’s about how quickly we spiral when reality doesn’t match what we wanted. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in “why me?” mode, you already know how exhausting it is.
