Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and well-being

I understand well-being as the way each of us experiences their daily lives, encompassing physical, mental, spiritual health. and relationships. Welfare is felt when we can live with quality and satisfaction what matters. Thus, I realize the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) as a significant resource for the construction and maintenance of this state of living. The therapy process is centered on the acceptance of internal experiences and commitment to actions aligned with personal values.

knows those moments when we are overwhelming about situations external to us that we have no control, increasing negative sensations and negatively undermining our moment gift? Therapy highlights the importance of not concentrating on what can be controlled. It focuses on accepting the uncertainty inherent in life, promoting a more available posture in relation to what we are unaware and avoiding excessive anxiety for situations that are not in our control.

Mindfulness continuous practice invites us to live at the present moment, reducing the influence of past thoughts or future concerns. Be spontaneously at the present moment and live moment at moment with what life presents us. This helps to detach negative thoughts allowing their observation more objectively, without being fully influenced by them.

Throughout the process with Act there is encouraging self-pity practices, so that in the face of failures or possible errors there is kindness and kindness. As well as the full acceptance of emotions, recognizing them as a natural part of human experience. This promotes a more welcoming and validating internal environment, where excessive criticism does not take over our minds.

Another significant point that the approach emphasizes is the identification of personal values, providing an internal compass to guide choices and actions. By aligning actions with values, it promotes a continuous commitment to behaviors that contribute to personal well-being and the construction of healthier relationships.

By recognizing the values linked to relationships, it contributes to the construction and maintenance of significant connections, which plays a crucial role in emotional well-being .

Thus, acceptance and commitment therapy offers various resources to promote well-being through the development of psychological flexibility. It allows us to adapt more effectively to the changes and challenges of life, contributing to the development of resilience and sense of purpose.
