Hi from my mum's wardrobe. I'm on holiday in Australia and taking a break from my packing to share a personal update that highlights how unpredictable life can be. My family has recently faced some unexpected challenges, including my husband’s work being impacted by significant global events and unexpected health issues with his father. Meanwhile, we live in another country with no clear end date, which makes everything feel a little tenuous.
I wanted to take the opportunity to mention the importance of "psychological flexibility", a key concept from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages us to stay adaptable and resilient by focusing on what we can control, staying connected to the present moment, finding meaning in our values, and taking the action that's necessary even if it's hard.
Join me for a super quick chat from the wardrobe about how we can remain present and connected to what truly matters, even when life feels overwhelming.
Takeaways:
- Life is unpredictable, and being prepared for unexpected challenges is essential for resilience.
- Psychological flexibility helps us adapt and remain centered amid difficulties and uncertainties.
- Focusing on present moments and values can guide us through life's challenges and changes.
- Quality social connections play a crucial role in maintaining our happiness and overall well-being.
- It's important to recognise that our thoughts and feelings are passing experiences, not our identity.
- Taking committed action aligned with our values is key to navigating tough times effectively.
