Kim and Tia share how difficult it can be to accept and take 100 percent responsibility for our reactions to what happens in our lives. It can be so hard to be aware when we are resisting other people or events. It is when we resist in our lives that we co-create our own suffering. When we can accept life on life’s terms and just remind ourselves that life is life and flow with life we have less suffering. This does not mean that we are always happy with what is happening or that we even like the present moment, but we do not resist. As Tara Brach often says, “The event x resistance=suffering.” The only thing we have control over is ourselves and our response to life. We have a choice in what actions we can take and how we want to “show up” to painful situations.


“Pain is inevitable and suffering is optional.” ~Dalai Lama
