Helpful Radical Acceptance Statements
Instructions: Choose three or four to say aloud. It’s okay if you do not agree with every single statement. Focus on the ones you do.
“This is how it has to be right now.”
“All my decisions have led up to right now.”
“There is no use fighting the past.”
“Fighting the past only blinds me in the present.”
“The present moment is perfect just as it is.”
“The present moment is the only moment over which I have control.”
“It’s a waste of time and energy to fight what’s already happening.”
“The present moment is fine, even if I don’t enjoy what is happening.”
“This moment is exactly the way it should be, given what’s taken place before it.”
“The present moment is a result of millions of other tiny decisions.”
