Mind Your Being is for everyone – especially those in midlife and beyond – who are facing the ups and downs of life and looking not just to survive, but to truly thrive as we grow older.
In this solo episode of Mind Your Being, we explore a simple but powerful idea from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): you are not your thoughts.
Have you ever had a thought that felt so real… you didn’t even question it?
Thoughts like “I’m not doing enough”, “I’ve left it too late”, or “I’m not good enough” can quietly shape how we feel, what we do—and what we hold ourselves back from.
In this episode, I introduce the concept of cognitive defusion—a practical, evidence-based way to step back from your thoughts instead of getting caught up in them.
We’ll explore:
- Why our minds get “hooked” by certain thoughts
- What psychological flexibility really means
- My personal experience with OCD, rumination, and intrusive thoughts
- Three simple, practical defusion exercises you can try today
This is not about getting rid of thoughts.
It’s about learning how to relate to them differently—so they don’t automatically control your behaviour.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in overthinking, self-doubt, or mental loops, this episode will give you simple tools to create space, respond differently, and move toward what matters most.
