How to cope with life's ups-and-downs (eBook)

Using evidence-based coping strategies

About this eBook

Most of us will experience unhelpful thoughts and feelings at some point in our lives, which can often leave us feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, burnt-out, and for some, even suicidal.

Have you noticed yourself experiencing any of the following symptoms:

irrational, unhelpful, negative, and/or ‘crazy’ thoughts or feelings you can’t control
suffering from stress
experiencing anxiety
feeling depressed
like you are in a rut you can’t see your way out of
trapped
helpless
worthless
consumed by your thoughts?

It is quite possible that your thoughts and feelings have got a hold on you, and you are acting on 'auto-pilot' by letting them control your behaviour without being mindful this is happening. When you use the strategies in ACT, you can:

feel more in control and empowered
not be at the mercy of your thoughts and feelings
have ways of coping with the demands and challenges of every-day life
get better outcomes and wellbeing by acting in line with your values
learn basic mindfulness skills to help you stop ruminating over the past, and catastrophising about the future
feel less-stressed, anxious, burnt-out, and depressed (which can reduce suicidal tendencies).

This is one of our most powerful eBooks, using evidence-based strategies which have been proven effective. Would you rather feel powerless and under the control of your thoughts, or would you prefer to feel empowered and in control of your actions - resulting in more wellbeing? We hope you chose the latter, and are ready to get started now!
