Dramatically change your life in just minutes a day with this powerful guided journal. When you are faced with life's challenges, it's easy to lose track of what's important, get stuck in your thoughts and emotions, and become bogged down by day-to-day problems. Even if you've made a commitment to live according to your core values, the 'real-world' has a way of driving a wedge between you and a deeper, more meaningful life. Now there's a flexible program for learning how to practice a popular, proven-effective therapy protocol on your schedule! With The ACT Daily Journal, you'll learn all about the six core processes of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)-including mindfulness, acceptance, and values-based living-and even learn about a seventh: self-compassion. If there was ever a time to adopt the ACT approach to living, it's now. By applying ACT to your life, you'll learn how to roll with life's punches, and stay in contact with the present moment, even when you have unpleasant thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. The gift of being present is becoming increasingly valuable in these uncertain times of conflict and chaos; it's never been so important to live flexibly, with more meaning, and with a deeper understanding of shared struggles and our inherent humanity. ACT is more than just a therapy-it's a framework for living well. It helps us accept. It teaches us to make a commitment to what we deeply care about. And it works best when practiced daily. Let this journal guide you toward what really matters to you.

When faced with life's challenges, it's all too easy to get "stuck" in your own thoughts and emotions, unable to move forward toward your true goals. The daily grind of the "real world" can leave you feeling depleted, and keep you from living the deeper, more meaningful life you long for. But there are simple tools you can use to handle life stress and setbacks, live fully in the present moment, and literally act on your deepest values. With the ACT Daily Card Deck, you'll discover the core components of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) right at your fingertips. Each card offers a different skill-such as mindfulness, acceptance, or self-compassion-that you can use as needed for a fully customizable approach. By practicing the "right now" skills on these cards, you'll learn to roll with life's punches and be present in each moment-even the unpleasant ones. Most importantly, you'll learn how to take values-based action to help you get "unstuck" and improve your life. ACT is more than just a therapy-it's a framework for living well. It helps us accept. It teaches us to make a commitment to what we deeply care about. And it works best when practiced daily-whether you're at home, at work, in therapy, or on the go. Pick up these powerful yet practical cards and let them guide you toward the life you truly want!
