Ep. 136 - 5 Ways to Start Getting What You Really Yearn for in Life with Dr. Diana Hill

#MentalHealth #SelfImprovement #Podcast In the last episode, I discussed 5 reasons we are overcommitted and under-involved: https://youtu.be/1q3iwVUYxB4?si=1yWOM6PUT8X8kDlg how we fill our lives with too much, do too much, and then feel like we need to do more. We talked about holding too tight to things, being stuck in a story, avoiding feelings, and not pointing ourselves in the right direction. Now, I will offer you solutions to get what you yearn for in life. I’m offering five ways to turn this energy around and get what you yearn for in life. What I’m sharing comes from ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), contemplative practice, and psychological science. I’m a human alongside you, and I struggle with some of these things. These solutions come from fifteen years of working with clients. I work with high achievers in my practice. When I first started my psychology practice, I worked with many clients who had developed eating disorders, which tend to go hand in hand with high-achieving behaviors. Today, I work with CEOs, healthcare workers, PhD students, therapists, entrepreneurs, and people who want to play big in many ways but then trip themselves up. They feel like they are spinning their wheels, going nowhere, and not leading the lives they long to live. 00:00 Ep. 136 5 Ways to Start Getting What You Really Yearn for in Life with Dr. Diana Hill 00:53 Exploring Overcommitment 04:40 Understanding Human Yearnings 06:40 Number 1: Identify Your Unique Strengths 08:45 Number 2: Direct Your Energy with Values 09:24 Embracing Vulnerability and Values 10:40 Intrinsic Purpose and Integrity 12:54 Number 3: Open to Feelings 15:50 Number 4: Question Your Thoughts 17:07 Discovering Your Genius Energy 17:34 Number 5: Open Up to Our Sense of Self 19:23 Conclusion: Five Ways to Get What You Yearn For 20:07 Connect with Wise Effort Related Resources Join Diana’s ACT Accountability Group for Therapists➡️https://drdianahill.com/act-accountab...
