ACT values exercise- head to google and thank me later.

I wrote this Substack article about a thing that comes up a LOT.

A difficult thought or feeling raises its head, and before we know it, we’re trying to get rid of it.

It’s not a failure or weakness to turn to restricting, checking, avoiding or ruminating.

You have to remember that our brains do their best to help us survive in the face of threat, whatever that threat might be.

I say this all the time- the brain’s primary goal is not to keep you happy, it’s to keep you safe.

So when something feels uncomfortable or anxiety-inducing, we develop ways of coping and strategies that work for us, even if they only provide short-term relief.

If this all sounds familar, congrats! You’re a human!

But being human also means you have the ability to change.

Self-observation is a powerhouse of a tool: noticing the thought, naming it, and letting it pass without needing to act on it.

The full article is linked in my bio if you’d like to read more.

I only just remembered the spoon thing as I was writing this.

I would love to go back and give my old self a shake, but failing that being an option, I hope reading this helps prevent someone from going down the same path.

I’m sick of the diet pushers and fitness influencers who make people feel like it’s all about motivation and grind and just ‘wanting it enough’ 🫠

We’re very complex little beans whose brains need all sorts of support and processing to give ourselves the best shot at achieving our goals. And sometimes our goals need to change too.

If you’re someone who is perpetually falling off the wagon, use these questions to have an honest conversation with yourself about what you’re pursuing and how you might need to switch things up.

There’s no plan or schedule for what I post on here, contrary to all of the advice I’ve ever been given about having a business on social media.

I write about what pops into my head, and today that’s thinking about the client’s I’ve spoken to this week. I experience a wave of emotions when I sit with someone who talks about themselves in such a negative light. I feel sadness, but also anger- at all of the external influences who have directly or indirectly led them to believe that they’re not good enough as they are.

There’s so much damn noise and division on social media, I hate it and find it boring. I always come back to seeing people as just trying to get on in life and doing their best. We don’t benefit from assuming that others are stupid, ignorant, failing or evil because they don’t see the world as we do. Humans are flawed and there’s beauty in that.

Anyway that doesn’t really have anything to do with what I’ve posted about in the carousel but that’s what’s going on in my head this evening.

Oh, and also how beautiful these photos are, taken by Kitty who I’m honoured to call my friend.

You’ve sitting with a client who says they hates their body, and wondering where to even start.

If you can’t tell whether it’s an appearance ideal, appearance-contingent self-worth or internalised weight stigma, your job is much harder.

The Body Image Compass breaks body image into seven domains, so you can assess, reflect and track what’s actually changing.

I’m about to hit publish and then it’ll be included in Beyond the Textbook.

Trying to argue with, suppress or ignore negative thoughts is often fruitless.

So is buying into them and then acting on them.

These practices are about putting yourself in the driver’s seat, having the tools to reach for when your brain isn’t playing ball and managing rumination and anxiety.

Practice when you’re calm so you’re ready to use them in the moment, when they’re needed most.

Developing psychological freedom? That’s where the magic happens.

I speak to so many people who regret spending years buying into others’ ideas of happiness and success. I’m guilty of this too.

It’s not easy work to let go and figure out your own values, but it can be a game changer for developing and nurturing self acceptance.
