You may not have chosen what is happening to your body, but you can choose how you respond.
Lee L JampolskyWithin Inspirational Psychology, health doesn't refer to just the state of the body, but also the state of the mind, which affects the body.
Lee L JampolskyWhen we combine acceptance with self-responsibility we can then see that whenever we are in a painful or disturbing situation we have two choices: We can work compassionately to bring something positive to the situation or leave. However, the key is the mental stance that we make the choice from, and thus the first step is always accepting the moment without resistance.
