KEY POINTS

• Applying the principle of resolve involves taking the following steps:

Step 4. Put your commitments ahead of your comfort.

The key to living with uncertainty is learning to embrace the discomfort of uncertainty.

This strategy is supported both by ancient philosophies and by recent scientific studies.

This strategy is also at the heart of traditional OCD therapy (exposure/response-prevention, or ERP therapy) and relies on the phenomenon of habituation, which causes the discomfort of anxiety to decrease over time.

Step 5. Keep sight of the big picture and the Greater Good.

This strategy aims to help you find the motivation for what’s asked of you in Step 4.

Finding and employing your sense of humor is a powerful means of keeping sight of the big picture.

Identifying Greater Good goals involves finding ways in which to be of service to other people or enhance your own sense of purpose.

• Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a motivational process employing three techniques:

Mindfulness: looking at your pain.

Acceptance: embracing your pain in a constructive way.

Values-based living: identifying motivating values and using

those values to make constructive decisions.
