Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 6 Episode 6 of People Soup, it's Ross McIntosh here.

In this episode I continue my collaboration with Dr Richard MacKinnon that started in Season 5. We're continuing our exploration of the processes of ACT and psychological flexibility. Our People Soup ingredient this week is Committed Action, what it looks like, what can guide us and how we can bring our personal values to life. If you've ever wondered why you procrastinate, you'll probably relate to our examples and we finish with an evocative poem, that really captures how difficult it can be to take that first step.

For those of you who are new to People Soup - welcome - it's great to have you here - I aim to provide you with ingredients for a better work life from behavioural science and beyond. For those of you who are regular P Soupers - thanks for tuning in - we love it that you're part of our community.
