ACT DAILY JOURNAL: Get Unstuck and Live Fully

ACT DAILY JOURNAL:

Get Unstuck and Live Fully with
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

When you are faced with life’s challenges, it’s easy to lose track of what’s important, get stuck in your thoughts and emotions, and become bogged down by day-to-day problems. Even if you’ve made a commitment to live according to your core values, the ‘real-world’ has a way of driving a wedge between you and a deeper, more meaningful life. Now there’s a flexible program for learning how to practice a popular, proven-effective therapy protocol on your schedule!

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.

When faced with life’s challenges, it’s all too easy to get “stuck” in your own thoughts and emotions, unable to move forward toward your true goals.
