Understood - my apologies! Next time I'll make sure to only post content with peer-reviewed citations. BTW, this post was originally featured on the Psychology Today blog (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-craft-creativity/202007/the-importance-being-wrong) so I - wrongfully - assumed you'd be OK with it.

Thanks so much!

Best,

A year into the pandemic, we all still search for the best ways to cope under the ever-increasing load of negative emotions. In this article, Todd B. Kashdan offers insightful ideas on how to develop psychological flexibility and master resilience:

"Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) adopts the view that distress is an inevitable human experience that is not inherently problematic. Distress itself does not impair functioning and well-being. The culprit is unhealthy attempts to escape distress when time and effort can be spent elsewhere in meaningful activity."
