Radical Acceptance
Be honest with yourself about the feelings you're having. Notice them and stay with them, without minimizing or denying them. Then practice being open to yourself and giving yourself. permission to just be as you are. No excuses. No rationalizations. No avoidance.

Immigrants see Hope where most Americans see despair.

I stand with immigrants, and I believe in Hope.

Sitting with discomfort means allowing yourself to feel what's there without rushing to escape it. Give it space. The emotions will process and lose their intensity. You develop emotional resiliency.
