42. Dr. Z on how to understand your actions: your context matters

We often have mechanistic views about ourselves “I’m bad, ugly,
stupid, etc” and believe that when having any negative thoughts,
painful memories feeling or they need to be fixed, repaired, or
replaced. 


At times we believe that we lack “confidence” or “self-esteem”.


But what if our internal experiences are just that, internal
experiences.


What if what we do with them or what we do in response to them is
much more important than what those experiences are?


In this brief episode, I share with you a particular
psychological concept that is at the heart of Acceptance and
Commitment Therapy: Context and how you can understand your
behavior in context.


I promise you this episode doesn’t have fancy jargon or
complicated words; it’s the opposite. I did my best to share with
you an important psychological construct in a simple and
actionable way so you can get better at living a purposeful life.
