Welcome to Litsy!

Psychological flexibility 🧠🙌

Did a quick skim read of this today, because I‘ve recommended it to my husband & he‘s currently reading it.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a widely-used cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), & this book kind of started it all for Russ Harris.
I‘ve done his online introductory course & found it a useful approach in my work & life.
I find his style a little irritating, but it‘s good stuff 👍.
Be present. Open up. Do what matters.

My #LeastFaveGenre is probably self help books. I have a few but I tend to not find them very helpful so they tend to annoy me 😬

Taking myself out of my comfort zone. Stepping to the side of dragons werewolves and vampires... closing the magic books and focusing on the perceptions of mental health.

focused on the assumptions of suffering people who have this construct in their head of what everyone else is...

Beautiful facts of how the real world actually is ..educating us on what people take for granted. This book has grounded me.. humbling me to over reaction

is Mental Health awareness month. Wanted to share a bookstack of some of my most frequently reached for titles. 📚 🙏

Sometimes the only comfort we have access to at the time is a book that really helps. What are your favorite books you reach for when you have had it with adulting already?

Every single person who speaks about their struggles makes it that much easier for someone else to feel heard and in good company.🏠 *

My second bail for the year. To be honest I didn't get far into the book, definitely less than 100 pages. I found the writing style so incredibly condescending I felt that even if there was some useful information I was not going to be open to it anyway. My happiness declined just reading this so I opted to end the torture. Anyone else get through it?

First swimming lesson for the year with some happiness themes reading material to keep me occupied.

Day 5 of #riotgrams - big books. I got this sticker from a very nice #librarian I meet at #makerfest from the Richmond public library.
Of course, the sticker is orange so we are still on the same book color pile! Lol *

Really interesting. There were some parts I already knew but what I found most interesting was the discussion on ACT principles; getting comfortable feeling uncomfortable, creating room for discomfort, and defusing from negative thoughts and belief patterns to disempower their influence on your life.

A pup slightly snoring definitely embraces this whole acceptance thing this book has got going on.
