So much is up to us. Waiting for others to fit our mold is simply an idea our mind gives us to "fix" the idea & provide the illusion of control.

Mind, Body, & Spirit in a constant feedback loop

[Mindful ACT Counseling @JohnImperatore3]

[Mindful ACT Counseling @JohnImperatore3]

Life is a great teacher. Hone your practice in difficult times to cultivate and model a healthy response system to life's ups and downs.

#psychological rigidity has a few "parts"
A relentless agenda to keep things in a narrow, familiar & safe range, an automatic negative feeling," a reflexive need to "fix" when things go off course, & a limited set of conditioned reactions to temporarily relieve the experience

[Mindful ACT Counseling @JohnImperatore3]

By controlling how we view things, we lose control of the wheel.

We live longer, have more options, more information, better tools, historic communication devices, better medicine, and more stuff.
Yet, we have insufficient time for ourselves and our loved ones and feel stressed, empty, and unfulfilled.
