1
00:00:00,570 --> 00:00:03,690
Stick to identify Life-Giving activities.

2
00:00:04,230 --> 00:00:11,220
Think of activities that fall under each of the values you identified and add them to the form where

3
00:00:11,220 --> 00:00:12,730
you recorded your values.

4
00:00:13,260 --> 00:00:19,980
Make sure there are things that have a high probability of bringing you either enjoyment or a sense

5
00:00:19,980 --> 00:00:21,040
of accomplishment.

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,030
Otherwise, there is no reward.

7
00:00:24,510 --> 00:00:29,300
Don't hesitate to list activities you may not be able to do at this point.

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,580
It's good to have a range of difficulty in your activities, including ones to, quote, work.

9
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:39,000
Don't worry if some of your activities feel ridiculous.

10
00:00:39,930 --> 00:00:44,040
Every bit of progress counts on the road of recovery.

11
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:52,890
If you struggle, if you struggle to identify values in step one, see if your list of activities provides

12
00:00:52,890 --> 00:00:53,580
any clues.

13
00:00:53,970 --> 00:00:58,830
You can then use the values you identify to come up with additional activities.

14
00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:05,400
Be careful not to downplay the importance of having fun as you're doing behavioral activation.

15
00:01:05,730 --> 00:01:12,600
Sometimes we consider our enjoyment ridiculous, believing we have more serious things to attend to.

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,290
In reality, finding joy is serious business and one of the best ways to to relieve depression.
