Accepting-the-bad-can-lead-to-joy-and-growth

Apply this mantra to your BDSM play:

Many times, simply making the conscious decision, “I accept this suffering,” instead of running from it or trying to push it away as we’ve been taught to do, can bring us much peace and joy.

This isn’t about some special technique or practice; it’s simply about that mental shift—making the decision in your mind to honestly and compassionately accept everything that comes your way, good or bad..

You can use this simple mantra to empower you during tough times and to remind you to accept your pain and suffering with open arms:

I see you here ______ (fear, anger, sorrow, stress). My arms are open wide. I accept you fully, with love and compassion.

It’s with this pain and suffering that you’ll blossom into a beautiful lotus. (will you? 😈 )

Accept these challenges as opportunities for growth and you’ll realize the true peace, joy, and freedom that exists beyond the concept of “good” and “bad.” “Good” things happen when you stop resisting the “bad” and instead allow it to transform you.
