It's a cup a soup this week. In this 10 minute episode you can hear me reflect on how I've used the ACT Diary over a turbulent year. 2020 has certainly delivered for us all on both the uncertainty and anxiety fronts. I've found the diary particularly useful in ensuring that I attend to my own self-care in a whole host of contexts.
I'm looking forward to having the 2021 Diary by my side next year. Helping me check in on my values, track my progress and think how I want to show up.
You can order the diary direct from the publishers here www.pavpub.com/mental-health/well-being/act-diary and you should be able to get it from your regular bookshop too!
The 4th UK and Republic of Ireland ACBS ACT and Contextual Behavioural Science (CBS) Online Conference is coming up very soon on the 16th and 17th of November. Conferences are a place to rapidly learn and update yourself on the cutting edge research and practice within the ACT and CBS world. For those of us who work (or aspire to work in supporting people in the workplace) it's a rich, multidisciplinary source of inspiration.
However, given the current climate, it is not easy to access funding to attend conferences, especially for students and recent graduates. As such (and inspired by Contextual Consulting) People Soup will be sponsoring two free places for students and recent graduates of disciplines that involve supporting people in the workplace using ACT and Contextual Behavioural Science (worth £115 each). This will be both to attend the live conference online and receive full access to the recording of the sessions for viewing afterwards.
The conference has an exciting array of speakers presenting on a variety of topics. You can find out about the conference and read the full programme here:

Season 3 Episode 32
P-Soupers - what a privilege it was to welcome Rikke Kjelgaard to People Soup.
Rikke is a licensed psychologist, an expert in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a multi-passionate entrepreneur, a devoted public speaker, a writer, a behavioural nerd, the chief rock'n'roller in her own company and an unshakable optimist with ONE mission: helping people become the person they most want to be.
In this episode we hear a bit about Rikke's career, how she discovered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a pivotal moment in her life and her work values which shine through for all to witness. Rikke's honesty and openness is truly inspirational - I hope you enjoy listening.

P-Soupers – thanks for tuning in – this week – it’s part two of my chat with clinical psychologist and brilliant human, Dr Ray Owen. In the opening moments of this episode you'll hear a clip from Ray - talking about arriving well in a conversation – whether it’s a palliative care nurse about to have a really difficult and emotional conversation with a fellow human or a manager, preparing for a difficult performance conversation – we can prepare to arrive well in both of these scenarios.
We cover loads more in our chat – you’ll hear about his workshop at the ACBS UK & ROI in November which is called "ACT for Long Term Health Conditions - Adjustment to Long Term Health Conditions: how Psychological Flexibility can help."
Please note - the main content was recorded and edited before the latest announcement about the conference. The conference will now be a two day event on 16 & 17 November and the pre-conference workshops will now be incorporated into those two days. You can find out all about it and sign up here!
And you'll get to hear not one, but TWO fabulous takeaways!

"Hat’s off to Eric – awesome work! This is an accessible, practical and fun book – firmly grounded in evidence based behavioural science. Eric takes the reader on an engaging and compelling journey that brings together threads from history, fiction, pop, and his personal experience to illustrate each stage of his relatable proposition. He is an outstanding guide to the human condition and helping us all realise that –“taking courageous action is an ability, a skill to develop.” Let’s get out there and spread the science."

That quote from the Poem The Traveller - by Antonio Machado
"Traveller, there is no path.
The path is made by walking.
Traveller, the path is your tracks
And nothing more."
Antonio Machado
Ray also mentioned the book by Kathryn Mannix, it's called "With the end in mind - how to live and die well." The quote from that book is:
“There are only two days with fewer than twenty-four hours in each lifetime, sitting like bookmarks astride our lives; one is celebrated every year, yet it is the other that makes us see living as precious.”
