<p>This episode continues a brief introduction to Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) as a way to cope with the challenges of dealing with anxiety, stress, and frustrating events. &nbsp;I discuss the importance of identifying one's inner core values, which can be used to provide motivation for moving past difficult or challenging &nbsp;situations. &nbsp;By combining the first set of processes introduced in Part 1 (acceptance and defusion), listeners can use their identified core values to ACT in a way that moves one closer towards those values, rather than engage in actions or behaviors that provide more immediate (but likely not long-term or productive) gratification. &nbsp;Join me for a story of inspiration on how to use your values as a roadmap get you driving in a positive direction! &nbsp;</p> <p>Want to learn more about ACT? &nbsp;Check out these resources:</p> <p>Association for Contextual Behavioral Science - ACT for the Public</p> <p><a href="https://contextualscience.org/act_for_the_public">https://contextualscience.org/act_for_the_public</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>
