Do you want more abundant living? Do you want to live a different life do more of what you value?
Kelly Wilson, formerly psychology professor at the University of Mississippi, and one of the founding fathers of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, in a recent Contextual Consulting course I completed, presented the concept of “Practices for Abundant Living”. “Practices” is a term used by Buddhists to refer to their meditations. Kelly presents a secular notion of practices.
Kelly offers a comprehensive yet concise overview of abundant living that has as its core psychological and emotional flexibility in our life’s journey.
Kelly advocates practising:
- Having an open heart
- Holding our judgments; evaluations; limitations lightly
- Holding our stories of our limits lightly; taking many perspectives
- Contact with the richness of the moment
- Growing valued patterns of thinking and behaving
- Noticing and returning to our valued patterns
