In The Self-Compassion Daily Journal, clinical psychologist and author of ACT Daily Journal Diana Hill offers powerful writing prompts grounded in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and compassion-focused therapy (CFT) to help you let go of harmful self-criticism—whether it’s about body image, career goals, or parenting—and instead cultivate kindness and forgiveness toward yourself.

With ACT Daily Journal, you’ll learn all about the six core processes of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—including mindfulness, acceptance, and values-based living—and even learn about a seventh: self-compassion. If there was ever a time to adopt the ACT approach to living, it’s now. By applying ACT to your life, you’ll learn how to roll with life’s punches, and stay in contact with the present moment, even when you have unpleasant thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations.

With the ACT Daily Card Deck, you’ll discover the core components of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) right at your fingertips. Each card offers a different skill—such as mindfulness, acceptance, or self-compassion—that you can use as needed for a fully customizable approach. By practicing the “right now” skills on these cards, you’ll learn to roll with life’s punches and be present in each moment—even the unpleasant ones. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to take values-based action to help you get “unstuck” and improve your life.
