But there is another footprint we leave behind every day, one that may be even more consequential: our psychological footprint. Your psychological footprint is the lasting impact of your thoughts, emotions, attitudes, and behaviors on yourself and the people around you. One of the most powerful ways to improve our psychological footprint is through acceptance. Ultimately, understanding your psychological footprint means becoming mindful of how you invest your attention, emotions, and energy. In the end, your psychological footprint is not measured by what happens to you but by how you respond to what life brings your way.
