ACT, acceptance and commitment therapy, talks about committed action, which is basically taking concrete steps guided by your values.

To get what you want, not just things that are guided by your moment to moment emotions.

Your values are telling you, I want to do this.

This is the necessary thing for me.

I have to take this step if I want to be the kind of person I've envisioned.

The fear is always going to be there.

It just, you know, I'm just not going to let it dictate what I do.

It's always going to be there.

But let me ask you this.

Take out the fear.

Take out the anxiety.

What if I told you I knew for certainty every part of your plan was going to work out?

I knew.

Somebody had told me all the steps were going to be complete.

Nothing was going to go wrong.

I could swear up and down that that was the case.

All I needed from you was commitment.

Commitment to the time it would take.

If that was the situation, what outcome in those circumstances would you desire the most?

What is the path you're going to pick if I said it was all going to work out?
