“I don’t have enough time” is one of the most common reasons people say they can’t exercise, fit in stretching, move. Gotta get flexible and move wherever you are. 5 sunsalutations at my gate does wonders for my back on a 5 hour flight.

Headed to ! Eee you there.

Cognitive inflexibility often shows up in three familiar ways:
• Fusion: you believe every thought your mind produces and follow it as if it’s 100% true.
• Rumination: you circle around and around the same thought, replaying it, analyzing it—while you’re not actually in your life.
• Worry: your mind gets caught in the future, spinning unhelpful scenarios and stories that eat up your energy.

In ACT, we practice cognitive flexibility—stepping back from thoughts and holding them lightly. You can even say, “Thanks, mind,” and recognize it’s doing its job (trying to keep you safe).

And then you remember: you get to be the chooser of what you do next.

Birthday cake madness! For my son’s 13th birthday, I made a cake of his 13 favorite things—a ridiculous, love-soaked project that took forever in the best way.

My favorite part: rolling out the Rice Krispies “sushi”, filling the center with gummies, then slicing it like the real thing. Also: painting the fondant with edible paint and thinking about all the little details that make him him. This cake is basically a tiny portrait of my dude—creative, original, and constantly surprising me. I’m so proud of him.

Making something like this slows me down. It pulls my attention into the real world and lets my creative energy move in a different direction. And honestly… I need that. Everything is speeding up, but we don’t have to speed up with it.

What if we go the other way?

I hope you have something that does that for you too: a uniquely you, fun, real-world way to reflect your genius, focus on what matters—and enjoy the here and now.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his enduring legacy of courage, compassion, and service.

May we each find small ways to lead with kindness, stand for justice, and care for one another in our everyday lives.

We often say in ACT, you hurt because you care. When you are flooded with emotion, dig a little deeper. What does this feeling tell you about what you care about? ACT from there.

Just wrapped co-leading the ACT Boot Camp in Reno with Steven Hayes, Robyn Walser, and Miranda Morris—and I’m still taking it in. I’ve been practicing ACT for almost 20 years, and I love how it keeps evolving. It was a phenomenal experience: people flew in from Peru, Australia, Turkey (and more) to deepen their skills and take ACT back to their communities.

ACT is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps people build psychological flexibility—and the research base is enormous, spanning everything from anxiety and psychosis to athletic performance and refugee mental health. It’s also a core thread running through my Wise Effort method.

Next stop: New York City this spring. If you want to learn ACT in an immersive, community-rich setting, check out the Institute for Behavioral Health at ibh.com and grab your ticket. I’d truly love to see you there!

I’ll be teaching on Day 4: network modeling—a newer, really exciting way to approach case conceptualization.

Ok I know you don’t come here for my cakes 🍰 but if you follow me long enough you’ll see one pop up every few months (go look for my football cake! 🏈 And my cooking cake! 👩‍🍳).

This one is for my friend who’s building a community in town and I added his logo + tag line to the cake 🎂. It was a simple one but I always seem to complicate things —made my own espresso truffles for the edge ☕️🍫 and then later added some chocolate shards to the sides 🍫✨

My son helped with most of it and it was fun to muddy up our kitchen together on this rainy weekend 🌧️. I’m finding these days that I need more of these flow, creative, non work activities to bring my energy back ⚡️.

Wise effort isn’t doing less—it’s doing more of what you love and following the flow of energy 🌊
