How Radical Acceptance Plays a Role in Recovery
When you intelligently discern your pain and choose behavior strategies outside your addictions, you invoke radical acceptance of yourself and your situation. Radical acceptance requires that the acceptor be calm and focused enough to identify their fears without giving in to fight or flight tactics and reverting to addictive behaviors.
Identifying Destructive Habits
Once you’re truly addicted to something, you use the same behaviors again and again to fulfill this addiction. You obsess constantly about the pursuit and therefore increase your destructive habits.
Yoga helps reveal your physically and mentally destructive habits. Backbending poses may be difficult because you’re asked to open your heart when your mind and body constantly closes the heart space in an effort to “protect” yourself. Or maybe you never try new yoga poses because you don’t believe in your own abilities.
