Suite Spots
• accepting the moment without resistance

Welcome back to the Sweet Spot with Dr. Derek Sweet, a board certified psychiatrist specializing in sports and performance. In the Sweet Spot, we explore what it takes to stay steady and perform when the pressure is on, and the moment matters. Stay tuned for Dr. Sweet's slow down Sunday.

A Guided Practice In Acceptance

SPEAKER_00 0:23

Today, I will accept the reality of this moment. I will embrace all that it holds, trusting that every experience, the highs, the lows, the successes, the setbacks, they're all here to help me grow. Today I will understand that acceptance is not weakness. It is not surrender. It is not passivity. It is not inaction. Acceptance is the wisdom to align with the flow of life and find my power within that flow. Today, I will accept that my true strength is revealed in acceptance, not in resistance. Today I will resist nothing that occurs. I will practice acceptance and begin any action from this place of understanding. By releasing my need to control, I will connect with a deeper source, a deeper source within me, my inner peace, my inner clarity, and my inner strength. I am not weakened by the practice of acceptance. Instead, I am empowered. I am aware of all of the potentials that are available to me in this moment because I accept it. Today I will accept my path, understanding that each step of my journey is guided by the divine intelligence, the mystery that I call God.

Transforming Struggle Into Calm Action

SPEAKER_00 2:12

When I accept, I free myself from the struggle and the tyranny of needing to be in control. And from this place of acceptance, I can respond with awareness, with grace, and with a sense of purpose that cannot be shaken. Today I will accept that acceptance itself has the power to transform me. It opens doors of possibilities for me that I have not seen. It can free me to move forward and make choices with a sense of calm and purpose. When I practice acceptance, I am more powerful, I am clear, and I am ready to face whatever comes. Acceptance allows me to transcend the moment. It helps me to understand that I am exactly where I am meant to be, and that I have the power to respond and choose and not just react. And from this place of acceptance, I will rise.
