1
00:00:00,630 --> 00:00:09,150
The areas of our life don't exist in isolation, just as thoughts, feelings and behaviours are intimately

2
00:00:09,150 --> 00:00:12,000
connected, our life domains intersect.

3
00:00:12,510 --> 00:00:15,950
Stress from work or relationships disrupts your sleep.

4
00:00:16,380 --> 00:00:22,290
A friend's support and concern deepen your sense of meaning and your trust in humanity.

5
00:00:22,770 --> 00:00:27,000
Struggles with addiction affect nearly every area of a person's life.

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,050
A relaxing weekend increases our productivity at work.

7
00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:36,120
As you think about activities that will help you move toward your goals.

8
00:00:36,820 --> 00:00:43,170
Um, for example, could tending to your domestic responsibilities affect your relationships?

9
00:00:44,070 --> 00:00:47,490
Could eating better make you a more productive worker?

10
00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:56,670
Progress in different areas of your life is likely to be mutually reinforcing work through roadblocks.

11
00:00:57,210 --> 00:01:01,350
Behavioral activation is one of the best supported treatments for depression.

12
00:01:01,830 --> 00:01:09,390
And Borut, because it's so simple and yet that simplicity doesn't make it easy, even when when we

13
00:01:09,390 --> 00:01:14,790
intend to follow the previous steps, there will be times we don't complete our plans.

14
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:20,520
When that happens, the number one thing to remember is to be compassionate with yourself.

15
00:01:21,090 --> 00:01:27,360
Remember that you're a human and that this work is hard, but of compassion is understanding how our

16
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,250
minds work and creating the conditions that set us up for success.

17
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,460
We can criticize ourselves and try to use sheer force of will to become more active.

18
00:01:38,730 --> 00:01:44,670
But there are strategies that can give us greater leverage to complete our plans.

19
00:01:45,060 --> 00:01:52,320
Let's consider some of the most effective approaches to make sure tasks are rewarding.

20
00:01:52,500 --> 00:02:00,000
A common reason we don't complete our tasks is that they simply don't provide any satisfaction.

21
00:02:10,690 --> 00:02:16,480
If you find you are not getting to the tasks you've set for yourself, think about the incentive that

22
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:23,380
you have to do them, is the activity worth doing, but you have to be able to find the motivation for

23
00:02:23,380 --> 00:02:23,550
it?

24
00:02:23,980 --> 00:02:27,900
Or is your motivation low because the activity isn't right for you?

25
00:02:28,450 --> 00:02:34,980
Choose substitute activities if you decide a task just isn't rewarding.

26
00:02:34,990 --> 00:02:42,070
For example, maybe you used to love biographies and now you're more drawn to fiction.

27
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,530
Go where your heart leads.
