Summary: On this episode of Act To Live, Scott and Jaime begin by talking about some of their pet peeves. The duo then explores what it is about pet peeves that seem to get some of us so worked up. This often involves thought fusion, in which we get wrapped up in our thoughts about something and allow those thoughts (and resulting emotions) to influence our actions. Jaime and Scott then discuss thought defusion and how this process can help us to create space between ourselves and our thoughts…about pet peeves and other things too.
ACTion Event of the Week: Think about one of your biggest pet peeves. What is it? Allow yourself to sit with that pet peeve a bit - what is it about this pet peeve that really bothers you? Now, practice creating some space between you and this pet peeve (AND your thoughts about it too). What do you notice?
Where do we walk next? Join us on the next episode of Act to Live as we talk about the dangers of comparison.
