How to Make Wiser Choices…A Mental Health Month Exercise What do you do when your mind pulls you in two directions — between what you should do and what you want to do? In this Mental Health Month reflection, therapist Nathaniel Chua from One Life Only Counseling Services shares a simple yet powerful ACT-based exercise that helps you pause, notice old survival rules, and choose from your values instead of your fears. Through the Two Truths Practice, you’ll learn how to: ✅ Recognize the “fight, flight, freeze” rules that still shape your reactions. ✅ Make peace with both sides of yourself — the fearful and the brave. ✅ Use your inner GPS (your values) to make wiser choices in life. True mental health isn’t about erasing struggle — it’s about creating space to live meaningfully, even with it. 💬 Try the exercise: 1️⃣ Name both sides of your inner conflict. 2️⃣ Validate both — they each want something good for you. 3️⃣ Let your values guide your next small step.
