Getting hung up on what has or hasn’t happened, either in the world or within yourself, can cause unnecessary suffering and damage your mental health, so that’s why in this week’s episode I’m talking about the role of acceptance in good mental health, the difference between self-acceptance and acceptance of external events (and why both are important), how to get better at accepting yourself for who you are, and how to develop greater acceptance of external circumstances. Let's Talk About Mental Health is a weekly podcast about improving your mental health by Jeremy Godwin which draws on personal experience and quality research about psychology and sociology. It's about much more than just talk; each new episode focuses on practical and simple things that you can do every single day to improve and maintain your mental health and wellbeing.
