Abstract

Life is often busy, demanding and full of challenges that can cause us to lose sight of what really matters. Designed for anyone seeking to live a life in the coming year that is aligned to their values, The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Diary 2020 combines space for reflection with gentle guidance to help individuals stay true to what really matters. It is especially helpful for those currently engaged in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; however, the principles are relevant to anyone seeking to increase their psychological flexibility - the ability to connect fully with experiences, including difficult thoughts and feelings, and pursue an authentic life. Values clarification exercises at the outset of the year help users to define what broad directions they want to pursue, and include lists of sample values to stimulate ideas. Then, accessible weekly pieces by the authors discuss aspects of psychological flexibility, present helpful metaphors, and suggest exercises for the week ahead that will help to identify core values, clarify issues and record goals. Reflection spaces offer regular opportunities to record thoughts, identify barriers and track progress. Filled with expert guidance and inspirational quotations for the year ahead, The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Diary 2020 puts values centre-stage where they can best guide actions and decisions.
