Steven C Hayes on Embracing Life Beyond Our Thoughts

We borrow a lot from things that were here for many hundreds, if not thousands of years, but we're trying to put it into a simple model, but a powerful model that tells people how to both show up to their history and then direct themselves towards the kinds of futures that they're trying to create in the moment.
Have you ever felt trapped in your own mind, unable to break free from unhelpful thoughts? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Steven C Hayes, a pioneering figure in psychology and the founder of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Hayes, a celebrated author and professor, shares his insights on how to step out of our mental loops and fully engage with life.
They dive into the impact of language on our inner experiences and how our thoughts can sometimes hijack our behavior. Hayes emphasizes the power of willingness and openness as tools for genuine change, encouraging us to face difficult conversations head-on. The discussion also touches on the habitual patterns we fall into and how to break free from mindlessness.
Plus, Hayes shares some practical diffusion techniques and the surprising role music and live events can play in our journey towards positive transformation. Whether you're looking to understand your thought patterns better or seeking actionable steps to improve your life, this episode offers valuable perspectives and tools to help you feed your 'good wolf'.
