ACT on the Go

[Guest guest]

Hey Group,

I've noticed that some ACT strategies have greater utility than others

for the " on-the-go " kinda contexts, e.g. sitting on a 2-hour flight,

taking a road trip, standing on a grocery line or visiting the beach

etc. The strategies I like to use in situations like these and others,

are the more active/voluntary ones, like 10 Deep Breaths, Russ' 5,5,5;

uhh, Thanking my mind (both aloud-when I'm alone; and silently-when I'm

in public), Labeling my thoughts and half the time, just noticing

private events and letting them come and go. However, sometimes,

especially during emotionally charged situations, a good ol' strategy

might help.

What are some other practices for " on-the-go " contexts? When I use this

phrase, I am using it to contrast the " quiet-relaxed-eyes-closed "

contexts.

I have 3x5 cards that have my values written on them on one side, and the associated top three goals on the other side. They help me during the day to stay living valued life....they especially help when negative thoughts come in because they become the beacon of how i should move on in the moment.

cheers
