Why should we bother accepting reality? Give 1 reason.
Rejecting reality does not change reality.
Changing reality first requires accepting it.
Rejecting reality turns into pain
Refusing to accept reality can keep you stuck in unhappiness, anger, shame, sadness, bitterness, and other painful emotions.
It forces us to think about what would happen if we acted on certain behaviors or urges and imagine would happen if we resisted them. It helps us be more mindful of our decision making and therefore less impulsive.
