Episode #23: ME: Inside and Out!

Summary: On this episode of the ACT to Live podcast, Scott and Jaime dig through the desire to change our direct environment, especially during a time of crisis. They open up with a quote Jaime found about leaves adapting to their environment and getting ready for what’s to come. They go on to talk about an article on welligent.com that discusses the fascinating ways that our environment can influence mood, alter internal motivations, and impact needed social interactions with friends and family. Interestedly, being open to adjusting our environment  can help us prioritize and learn more about ourselves.   ACTion Event of the Week: Choose an area of your home (it can be as small or as big as you like) and just change something about it? (clean it, move items around, paint, anything). Then sit in that space and see what you think and feel. On our next episode of ACT to Live, we will discuss our chosen valued-based words we decided to live by for New Year and discuss the value in adjusting goals.  References: Amy Blaschka (2018).
