I really enjoyed some of the latest videos from Jasmine and Veronica. (And according to illuminatingjoy’s Instagram it seems like she’ll be coming out with a new video soon.) But the repeated messages I am getting from their videos is being ok with what’s here now, not being hung up on timing, and finding your own way of acceptance... while that’s the gist of it doing it when you’re in it, of course way harder to do than just say. Even if one is not manifesting finding that really sink in- be ok with what’s here... for me I just felt like that message really sunk again today and again.

I've only watched a few minutes so far, but I like the message of
acceptance.
We often talk about having to "accept reality" or accept a situation for what it is -- but I liked that she was also talking about accepting our own emotions, even if that emotion is pain.
One basic therapeutic concept is that the more we fight how we feel, judge how we feel ("I shouldn't feel this way"), attempt to live in denial of how we feel -- all it's doing is giving the emotion more power over us.
The more that we can tell ourselves that yes, we feel hurt, in pain, upset, anxious... but it's OK that we feel that way and the feelings won't last forever... the more quickly we can detach.
In the last few days, I've actually been wondering if it's "detachment" I seek as much as a feeling of control over a situation. Not control from a negative, frustrated, hovering standpoint (the one that made me binge on readings), but more a feeling of -- I can handle this. I am OK. POI, POI's actions, and the situation do not CONTROL me.
