99. How Do You Accept But Not Give Up?

The Jill Cruz Podcast

We need to stop denying reality and start practicing acceptance. Stop putting everything else in your life ahead of yourself and take responsibility for your health because you can’t look after your loved ones or enjoy your hobbies as much if you are unhealthy and stressed.

If you are practicing self-care but thinking negatively about yourself in the process, you will never realize all the benefits of your actions because negativity puts our bodies in a state of stress, and we do not perform properly in this state.

To truly prioritize your health, you must learn to accept the current shape you are in, forgive yourself for your past, and see your work toward self-improvement as a powerful act of self-love. Feel the power and confidence of self-acceptance and love yourself enough to better yourself!

Show Notes:
🌸 We confuse acceptance with giving up: acceptance makes you feel better, and when you feel better, your brain works better. 00:09
⚠️ Our bodies don't perform well under chronic stress. 02:38
🧠 Stress causes our brain to function differently, which is good in acute situations when instinctual reaction helps. 05:10
💭 The thought "it's not enough" is a source of stress and an example of how we sabotage ourselves: don't deny reality - face it. 07:27
👍 Take responsibility instead of blaming yourself: you control your life, and like every other human being, you make mistakes. 10:47
1️⃣ Your number 1 priority should be health - take care of the machine. 13:00
🟢 Learn to accept correctly, with forgiveness, compassion, and responsibility - it opens up possibilities: when you hate your body, you block weight loss by creating stress. 15:06
🥰 When you are in a high-stress situation, your creative thinking is compromised: you can love yourself unconditionally and change yourself for the better. 18:05
💓 The electrical signals responding positively throughout your body feel fucking good: you have to accept where your body is right now in this very moment. 21:16
💪 You're only as powerful as you think and nobody can give that to you, and nobody can take it away from you: you can't fight reality because you will always lose. 23:43
❣️ When we deny our emotions, we deny reality. 26:47
🎉 Acceptance is opening up the possibility to step into your power and live a fucking fantastic life, which is the opposite of giving up. 28:12
🤝 Take the right action for the right reasons and hang out with people who believe in that and who can help you do that. 28:47
🌷 Acceptance is with your nature. 32:14
