It would help to acknowledge that something exists before you can deal with it. Ignoring problems is not solving problems. Pretending problems are not problems is self-deception and often self-destructive, too. Waiting to deal with problems allows them to grow and become harder to deal with.
You must accept the existence of an issue or problem before you can begin to try to fix it or to cope with it. Admitting that you do not, for example, exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle is not enough; you must face your lack of exercise and accept it as a fact before proceeding.
You must accommodate or make room in your life for what exists, especially when you do not like it or want it to exist. Otherwise, you will be causing yourself and others unnecessary and unproductive stress.
You must adjust your life to deal with the fact of the existence of an issue or problem that you cannot currently fix or problem-solve. You are still free to pursue the authority and power needed to fix a problem. Because you acknowledge, accept, accommodate, and adjust to the problem, your search for solutions will be more effective and productive.
You must adapt to the reality of life as it is, with all its imperfections and undesirable aspects. Otherwise, you risk your sanity and mental health as well as the sanity and mental health of those you influence. Blaming, damning, and whining are problems, not solutions.
