I love ACT. ACT is about letting go of what you can't change, showing up to the present moment, and doing things you care about even if your thoughts and feelings tell you that you can't. Thoughts and feelings aren't always the best messengers of information about the world.. and fighting them sometimes just makes them seem more important than they really are. You learn how to cope with emotions and negative thoughts by practicing living a good life no matter what. Slowly, those thoughts don't seem so loud anymore, those emotions no longer disabling.
