Welcome to Litsy!

The �reality slap� takes many different forms. Sometimes it is so violent it�s more like a punch: the death of a loved one, a serious illness, a major injury, a freak accident, a shocking crime, a disabled child, the loss of a job; bankruptcy, betrayal, fire, flood, divorce or disaster. Sometimes it�s a little gentler: envy, loneliness, resentment, failure, disappointment or rejection. But whatever form it takes, one thing�s for sure: it hurts! And most of us don�t deal with the pain very well. This book is based on a scientifically proven mindfulness-based approach called �Acceptance and Commitment Therapy� (ACT). Within these pages, you will learn how to cope effectively when life hurts: not just how to survive, but how to thrive. Using the proven principles of ACT, you�ll discover how to:� find peace in the midst of your pain� find calm in the midst of your chaos� anchor yourself in the midst of emotional storms� increase your sense of connection with yourself and others� use your painful emotions to cultivate wisdom and compassion� find fulfilment even when you can�t get what you want� heal your wounds, and come through stronger than before.
