FROM ANNIE CRONER, EA & COACH

Arguing with reality

 

My son Sammy is my parentsā€™ first grandbaby.

Eager to spoil her grandson, my mom brings fun books and toys whenever she comes to visit. One time, she brought Sammy a book with satisfying little buttons that make a popping noise whenever you push them.

There is one button that doesnā€™t work and wonā€™t stay ā€œpoppedā€ whenever Sammy pushes it.

Inevitably this leads to a lot of frustration because the button ā€œshouldā€ work correctly.

Sammy has tried everything.
Heā€™s tried holding the button down.
Heā€™s tried examining the button from the other side.
Heā€™s tried shrieking at the button.
Heā€™s tried getting numerous adults to fix the broken button for him.

In the same way Sammy argues with the reality of this broken button, perhaps youā€™re arguingĀ  with some aspect of your own reality:

You think other people should behave better or be more invested in their work.
You feel slighted when you donā€™t get the recognition you deserve.
You harbor resentment when someone breaks an agreement.
You think those around you should be more supportive, helpful, or kind.

You obsess over your situation. It takes up so much unnecessary headspace.

Headspace you could spend adding value, learning a new skill, or being present with yourself, family, or friends.

Arguing with reality is different from changing it.

You change reality by first accepting it (literally the opposite of arguing or resisting it).

Acceptance frees you up to see and assess all your options more clearly. You can embrace a more abundant mindset, and make decisions that feel empowered and not simply reactive.

How do you want to show up for the ā€œbroken buttonsā€ in your life?
I want to encourage youā€¦ you do have a choice.
