Is “coming to terms” active or passive?

Sep 05, 2024

It's easy to get caught up in the "what if" scenarios — those endless mental loops where we imagine different outcomes, replay past events, or worry about the future. But what if there was a way to step out of that cycle and come to terms with your life as it is, right now?

When we talk about "coming to terms" with life, it can sometimes sound like passive acceptance, as if we're simply resigning ourselves to our circumstances. But at Heartfelt Change, we see it differently. Coming to terms with your life is an active choice, an intentional attitude that allows you to embrace your reality, even if it's not exactly how you envisioned it.

What Does It Mean to Come to Terms with Your Life?

Coming to terms with your life is about acknowledging and accepting your present moment, no matter how it looks. It means letting go of the "what ifs" and the energy-draining mental gymnastics that often accompany them. Instead of being consumed by regrets or anxieties, you learn to hold space for your feelings — whatever they may be — without letting them overwhelm you.

Heartfelt Mindfulness is the practice that supports you in this journey. It’s about cultivating compassion for yourself and your current situation, allowing you to live more fully in the now. By coming to terms with your life, you free up energy to deal with whatever challenges arise, rather than being bogged down by what could have been.

The Power of Heartfelt Mindfulness

When you practice Heartfelt Mindfulness, you're not just passively accepting your circumstances; you're actively choosing to engage with your life as it is. This approach empowers you to:

  • Release the "what ifs": Free yourself from the mental clutter of endless possibilities that never come to fruition.
  • Cultivate compassion: Develop a kinder, more understanding relationship with yourself, allowing you to navigate difficult emotions with grace.
  • Live in the present: Ground yourself in the here and now, where true change and growth can happen.

But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some of my past participants have said about their experiences:

"The course has offered an opportunity to speak and discuss issues in a safe and secure space, it has provided suggestions and strategies. I found it very thought-provoking."
– Alison

"Before the course, I had a busy mind always overthinking what might happen which made me anxious. Now I feel so much more grounded in the present. Starting to realize as you become more present in your life, your compassion for yourself and others grows."
– Ira

"I can support myself and deal with difficult situations/conversations by doing it. I don't have to be haunted by events from the past or replay them, it’s very liberating. I realized I was transferring/bottling issues and creating problems in everyday situations rather than dealing with them. The course has given me the tools to deal with them in a good way."
– Marlyn
