It has been about three years since I accepted acceptance as
a technique to manage my stammering mindset. Yesterday I had been to a
motorcycle dealer to buy spare parts. I stammered on almost every word with two
different people while saying names of items.

I got my work done even while stammering. Feelings like shock,
shame and helplessness after stammering moments last for lesser duration now.
While a few years ago, similar experience would have left me feeling low for
hours/days together, just a few minutes
after yesterday’s stammering experience, I found myself talking calmly to
people.

We know that we feel a lot of jerks while
riding bike on bad roads. But if the shock absorber is good , we feel the jerks
less .So, just as a shock absorber nullifies the jerks while riding on a bad
road, acceptance has helped me to manage well my after-feelings of stammering
moments.

That little boy is hidden in all of us. The sooner we realise, early the progress.
Happy stammering.
Have a nice day.

(May 17, 2016 - 6:46 am)The sentence "I got my work done even while stammering. Feelings like shock, shame and helplessness after stammering moments last for lesser duration now." summarizes acceptance in a nutshell. It helps us in dealing with our emotions and helps in removing the shame of stammering. A good write up.
