E126. Is Your Lifestyle Working for You? The Concept of WORKABILITY


Listen Later

Today’s topic: Workability — a powerful concept from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) that helps you assess if your actions support your values and goals.

What is Workability? A core Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) concept focused on evaluating whether your behaviours align with the life you want. It’s not about good or bad habits but rather, asking if your current actions are effective in the long term.

Workability is a neutral approach, helping you avoid guilt or shame and instead focusing on effectiveness.

In today’s podcast, I outline 5 Steps to apply workability to your lifestyle and health habits:

  1. Define your values
  2. Assess your habits for workability
  3. Experiment and reflect
  4. Cultivate flexibility
  5. Focus on the process, not perfection
  6. Key Takeaways

    • Ask Yourself: “Is my lifestyle working for me?”
    • Workability Reminder: Health is about long-term, workable choices, not quick fixes.
