I'm really sorry if I gave an impression akin to that, which perhaps was offensive. I'm sorry.

A basic/paradoxical claim of mindfulness, fwiw, is this:


Mindfulness is not about accepting yourself exactly as you are | by Joe Hunt | The Startup | Medium
A lot of that sounds like "radical acceptance" in DBT. I finally grasped the concept when I realized that I can accept something the way it is not but that doesn't stop me from working at the necessary changes to improve it when I can or time will change it possibly too
