Unlocking Fulfillment: Russ Harris on Values and Mindfulness

Values are like the soil from which morals and ethics and codes of conduct grow.
Imagine living a life where your actions align with your deepest values, even when the going gets tough. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Russ Harris, a medical practitioner and psychotherapist renowned for his work in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Harris, the author of 'The Happiness Trap' and other influential books, shares profound insights on how values and mindfulness can transform our lives.
Harris breaks down the concept of values, describing them as the qualities we want to embody in our actions. Unlike goals, which are destinations, values are like the compass guiding us on our journey. He emphasizes the importance of staying true to these values, even when we face obstacles or setbacks. Mindfulness also plays a crucial role in this process. Harris introduces practical exercises like 'Notice 5 Things' and the 'Body Scan' to help listeners develop their mindfulness skills.
These exercises are designed to anchor us in the present moment, making it easier to live in accordance with our values. Throughout the episode, Harris offers relatable examples and easy-to-follow advice. Whether you're new to ACT or looking to deepen your practice, his insights provide a roadmap for leading a more fulfilling life. Tune in to hear how you can start aligning your actions with your values and cultivate mindfulness to navigate life's challenges.
