The 3 A’s – Awareness, Acceptance, Action – Episode 43
Do you think you have to fix something as soon as you become aware of it? Do you find yourself springing into action even before you know what the problem is? Is it difficult to know if you've fully accepted something as a cue to take action? Join Spencer, Swetha, and Kelli as we talk about "the 3 A's", which are awareness, acceptance, and action. We try to address these questions in our discussion. Briefly, what is your initial definition of the 3 A’s--how do they work for you? Do you think it’s important to work the 3 A’s in the order they were written? Why? Do the 3 A’s help to prevent you from taking “unnecessary” action? Are there any other al-anon tools that, for you, get grouped into the 3 A’s (patience, pause button, meditation, staying in the moment, etc?) Do the 3 A’s have anything to do with faith? Is it possible to know exactly when you have reached acceptance and can move into action? Mark, in the chat room, contributed a 4th "A": anxiety. We are all in for the 4 A's: "Anxiety, Awareness, Acceptance, Action".
