The most powerful teachings of ACT, which I’ll detail later in the chapter, can be distilled into a three-part process, which happens to fit into the acronym ACT: Accept what is happening without fusing your identity to it. Zoom out to a larger perspective or awareness from which you can observe your situation without feeling like you are trapped in it. Choose how you want to move forward in a way that aligns with your innermost values. Take action, even if doing so feels scary or uncomfortable.
