In EA, we have 4 A's. Some folks put Action first. Not me-- not unless sitting counts as an action. These days time spent sitting is my way of allowing myself to become aware of and begin to accept my emotions.
I see each A as gradually leading into the next, through a practice of patience and forbearance.
Awareness => Acceptance=> Changed Attitudes => Creative Actions
I love the A's - Al-Anon uses, Awareness, Acceptance, and Action. But I like adding Attitudes. An important step in changing those.
ReplyDeleteA good reminder that awareness and acceptance are equally important as action.
