Mindfulness Skills

Mindfulness Skills

  1. Defusion: learning to perceive thoughts, images and memories as pictures and words, rather than threats, rules and objective facts.
  2. Expansion: making room for unpleasant feelings, sensations and urges; allowing them to come and go without struggling with them or running from them.
  3. Connection: bringing full awareness to your here-and-now experience, with openness, interest, and receptiveness; focusing on, and engaging fully in the present.
  4. The Observing Self: accessing a transcendent sense of self; unchanging and ever present, where no thought is dangerous, threatening, or controlling.

Acceptance & Commitment

Acceptance & Commitment

Acceptance and commitment therapy aims to create a rich, full and meaningful life while effectively handling the painful thoughts and feelings that go with it.

  • Effectively handling painful thoughts and feelings is done through mindfulness, which can be divided in to defusion, expansion, connection, and the observing self.
  • Creating a rich, full and meaningful life is done by setting goals, guided by your values, and taking committed and effective action to achieve them.

Finding Your Values

Finding Your Values

Your values are what is most important, deep in your heart; what sort of person you want to be; what is significant and meaningful to you; and what you want to stand for in this life.

There are ten domains of values:

  • Family
  • Intimate Relationships
  • Friendships
  • Employment
  • Education and Personal Development
  • Recreation, Fun and Leisure
  • Spirituality
  • Community Life
  • Environment and Nature
  • Health and Body

Setting Goals

Setting Goals

  • Focus on one domain at a time.
  • Write down your goals. This makes you more likely to take action.
  • Goals should be SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time -bound.
  • Set a combination of immediate, short term (days to weeks), medium term (weeks to months) and long term (years) goals.
  • Never set a dead person's goal, something a dead person could do better than you.

Obstacles to Change

Obstacles to Change

  • Fusion with unhelpful thoughts. Solution: defuse the thoughts and recognise them as just words.
  • Expectations that are unrealistic. Solution: break goals down to smaller pieces, extend their timeframes, and don't be afraid to make mistakes.
  • Avoidance of uncomfortable feelings. Solution: recognise that working towards goals generates pleasant feelings too, of curiosity, excitement and satisfaction.
  • Remoteness from your values. Solution: write down your values, read them through, and change as required.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
