My Mind’s Name is Buster

Naming our mind is a tool from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and it has changed the game for me.

Now when I feel my mind holding me back I can just say: Thank you buster, but I got this.

All Your Thoughts Are Nonsense

I have proof that our thoughts are mostly nonsense and why that's actually the best news ever.

We get out of this thinking trap with self-doubt. Yes, really!

Your Anxiety Is Totally Valid

Even before we're conscious of it, this consistent exposure to global trauma activates survival states

It is really really valid and reasonable to be feeling despair and anxiety

That's not a pathology

You can't get to where you want by condemning where you are.

Emotions are not calls to action but calls to presence.

This counters productivity culture that equates feelings with failure unless you have an action plan.

If you ignore either the joy or the suffering, then you're in a place that's less authentic

I have clients who have learned to feel rage without acting on it

And they've learned to feel joy without apologizing for it

Do NOT Ignore the Miracles

We live in a world where amazing miracles are happening and they cannot be ignored.

Just like we cannot ignore the suffering, we also cannot ignore the miracles.

That would be equally disingenuous.

We are at a threshold moment. We cannot avoid the suffering in the world, but we are obligated to not ignore the good either.

The better world never comes if we all focus only on outrage and get burned out. Joy spreads too. Add joy

Outrage and burnout do not create the world we want.
We have to move away from this dualistic paradigm of:
hope or despair
optimism or pessimism
realism or idealism
and embrace something else: creative possibility.

Cognitive research shows our brains are wired to detect danger more than beauty

Recognizing joy takes intentional effort

We have to hardwire in the ability to feel happiness because it gets socialized out of us.

Emotions are guides. When fully felt:
Anger leads us to where justice needs to be restored.
Sadness leads us to where we need belonging.
Fear shows us where we don't feel safe.
This guidance fails if we avoid our emotions.

Happiness Wants To Spread

The way we do that is by holding space for both the reality of despair and the reality of joy...

We ignore neither one. By experiencing our joy fully, we allow it to spread

The Whole Body “Thinks” Too

The heart, the gut, the nervous system they are brains too. They run on neurons and they think, but not in words.

Logic Can Majorly Backfire

You can guide your life directly into misery but it will still seem so logical. Be careful. And involve your heart and flights of fancy.

Blame is a destructive pattern of energy born of insecure outrage that wants to control everything to feel safe. Responsibility is a constructive pattern of energy born of a desire to take ownership of one’s experience of reality.
