Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is designed to get you moving, doing that thing you really want to do regardless of your current motivation, emotions, or excuses. It validates that you have distress or hesitations, but lets your values guide your decisions and actions despite those things.

ACT is super helpful for people who:

• Plan to do something, but when the time comes they don’t feel like it and talk themselves out of it.

• Say, “I’ll do it when I get the motivation .” When the hell will that be?

• Feel guilty for not following through on commitments to themselves, but do it again and again and again and…

• Let anxiety, fear or lack of motivation make decisions for them (instead of YOU making the decision).
