Come walk with us on this journey as we share life experiences and have conversations meant to help each of us evolve…
Act to Live is:
A place where we observe everyday life, pose questions and cultivate and create psychological flexibility with our thoughts and behaviors;
A place where we create conversations about how to find happiness and gratitude in daily life (you are a big part of these conversations and how Act to Live evolves);
A place where we examine how effectively we can communicate with ourselves and others;
A place where we discuss principles from mindfulness, positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, emotional intelligence and other psychological theories and principles in order to live well.
Episode #87: FAITH or HOPE? Bringing them Together at Last
Summary: On this episode of Act To Live, Jaime begins by sharing a recent conversation with a friend which centered around the idea that some people may be driven by hope while others may be driven by faith. Jaime asks Scott his perspective on the idea and the two then delve into the meaning of both terms and the roles these entities may have in life. The duo arrives at the idea that perhaps these concepts allow us to make sense of, and even find comfort in, the uncertainties and unknowns of life.
ACTion Event of the Week: Take some time to explore the concepts of hope and faith. What roles do they play in your life - particularly in more challenging situations. How might you focus on strengthening either of these skill sets?
