Real happiness is the ability to experience the whole range of human emotion and still have a productive day where I pursued my values and living in alignment with my values.
Ever wondered how to handle life's emotional rollercoasters while staying true to your values? In this episode of 'Sober is Dope', host POP Buchanan chats with Dr. John R.L. Evans, Ph.D., the Director of Mental Conditioning at BLND Mental Health Services. They dive into Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), a unique approach that emphasizes living in the present and embracing all emotions—yes, even the tough ones. Dr. Evans, who has an impressive background working with elite athletes and U.S.
Army Special Operations Forces, brings a wealth of knowledge on mental performance and human engagement skills. Dr. Evans explains how ACT helps people accept their feelings rather than battling them, making it easier to focus on what truly matters. He also highlights the crucial role of nutrition, sleep, exercise, and brain training in maintaining mental health. Curious about how your hippocampus ties into all this? Dr. Evans breaks it down in a way that's easy to understand.
One standout point from their conversation is the idea that true happiness isn't about feeling great all the time. Instead, it's about being okay with discomfort and knowing that tough emotions are just part of the journey. This episode is packed with practical advice for anyone looking to improve their mental health while navigating the challenges of addiction recovery. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on mental health and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or just want to boost your mental resilience, Dr. Evans' insights offer valuable tools for your journey.
