OBSESSING OVER WHY HINDERS YOU FROM ACCEPTING WHAT IS

When we’re faced with something that feels unpredictable or overwhelming, it’s natural to want to make sense of the situation. While it’s healthy to understand ourselves and our experiences to some degree, there’s also a point where obsessing over the “why” in search of an explanation can become a coping mechanism to avoid emotional processing. If that’s so, consider accepting what you might be subconsciously avoiding.

If you’re attempting to avoid the mistake, try accepting that it might already be too late.
If you’re attempting to protect the pain, try confronting the deeper wound it’s causing.
If you’re attempting to control the narrative, try accepting the reality of what’s actually going on.

Sometimes emotional healing is less about figuring out the “why” and more about being present to the discomfort of the situation. Acceptance isn’t found in having all the answers. It’s found in making peace with the things you don’t have answers to.
