It's not just the big choices we make that can radically change our lives-sometimes it's the small ones. Offering a powerful blend of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and behavioral activation strategies, Activating Happiness teaches readers how to conquer depression and low mood by actively making positive choices in small, everyday moments. These small changes will help reignite motivation, improve mood, and help readers get unstuck so they can connect with what they value most.
I really loved the practical exercises this book provides to improve mood, get on a schedule, find out what your TRAPS are, and overcome low motivation and depression to get work done. This book helped me become aware of and identify triggers and the progression of what happens when I give in or fight through them. I love the idea of monitoring your mood based on High or Low and Positive or Negative. I didn't use the available worksheets but they were nice to have in case I did want to use them. I'll be referring back to this book and using its advice very often.
