EXPANSION PRACTICE FOR ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY

“Expansion means opening up and making room for difficult urges, feelings, and sensations- thereby allowing them to ‘flow through’ you without a struggle. You don’t have to like or want these feelings- you just make room for them and allow them to be there even though they are unpleasant. Once this skill is learned, if these feelings should resurface, you can rapidly make room for them and let them ‘flow on by’- so you can invest your time and energy in doing meaningful life-enhancing activities, instead of struggling. Aim to practice at least once a day breathing into and making room for difficult feelings and sensations.”

To be gentle is a magnificent practice.

Gentleness is not weak, it is very strong. When you hold an infant, you must be gentle but you must also be firm. You cannot be weak or you will drop and harm the baby.

Gentleness is focused. When we are absent-minded or inattentive, we can be hurtful and damaging. It takes presence and awareness to be gentle.

At the same time, gentleness allows us to be relaxed and humorous, authentic without tension and contrivance.

Practice your gentleness.

Be gentle towards yourself. Be gentle towards nature. Be gentle towards other people.

‘Manual Samuel’ Review: Controlling the Most Broken Video Game Body

Blink! Breathe in! Breathe out! Adjust that spine and move your arms! NOW damn it! Ahem. Sorry. Samuel, Manual Samuel’s protagonist, might have driven me ever so slightly mad with his behavior, being a genuine douche and all. In fact, if not for the extremely comical tone of the game, I likely wouldn’t have bothered even trying to give him a much-needed makeover. Oh, and controlling Samuel… is like playing an odd mix of QWOP and Octodad.
