 "Taking action doesn't mean just any old action. It must be effective action; action that helps us move in a valued direction."
-Russ Harris
...
"That action will be far more effective when you start from a place of acceptance. All the time and energy that you waste on struggling with thoughts and feelings could be far more usefully invested in taking effective action."
-Russ Harris

.....
"In order to act effectively, we need to be psychologically present.  We need to be aware of what is happening, how we are reacting, and how we wish to respond."
-Russ Harris

excerpts from book "The Happiness Trap"
 




Wishing you moments of presence, awareness and intentional effective action aligned with your values
