However, the principles are relevant to anyone seeking to build psychological flexibility – the ability to connect fully with experiences, including difficult thoughts and feelings, and pursue an authentic life. Motivational quotes are dotted throughout but are choicely connected with the aim of this diary – to help you move towards the things that matter to you most.

Plan your year ahead with our beautifully designed calendars, featuring stunning artwork and practical layouts.FREDDY JACKSON BROWN is a registered and chartered clinical psychologist with twenty years’ experience working with children and families in the NHS. At the beginning of the 1980s the Milk Marketing Board was looking for a new publication, which could be used regularly in the home whilst also promoting milk and dairy product usage.

This diary asks you in a most encouraging way to reflect on who you want to be, what you would like to be, what you would like to stand for, and challenges you to make moves towards these aims. For the wrap-around edges, I usually just try the book cover on the book, wrong side outwards, folding the long sides around book and then closing the book to make sure it’s not too tight. It will be my way of releasing 60 years of a life lived the way I wanted to live it and my son won’t have to deal with all the fallout once I cross over the rainbow bridge. What really matters to you can get easily obscured by the constant activity, distraction, and expectations in which we’re constantly immersed.If you are like me, and need regular prompts to help enable you to connect to your values, then this ACT diary is definitely for you. I always think if something fits exactly without needing to be cut or shaped, then it was probably meant to be there. It puts values centre-stage, where they can best guide actions and decisions, and is especially helpful for those engaged in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Today, modernised but as relevant as it ever was, the Diary is still created and designed in Britain.

We have many names for the things we love and at least as many ways in which we can use a planning tool. This is my third year to receive a copy of the ACT Diary and I was so excited to see it land through the letterbox! A great item for any fan of Me to You or just a great way to keep track of all occasions and appointments. ha, I do like the idea of board meetings and fully intend to have regular meetings with myself, however ridiculous that turns out to be.All in all, a great resource with a thoughtful redesign for 2020, and one I’d heartily recommend on a personal and professional level. With the ACT Diary 2020, I kind of knew what to expect because I have used the 2019 one up until now.
