What are ACCEPTS and IMPROVE?
When you practice mindfulness, you let go of judgments.
You notice and release judgments you may have about yourself (e.g. “I’m not doing this right!”), others (e.g. “She’s not doing it right”), your experience or anything else.
What is Nonjudgmental?
Noticing the direct sensory experience.
It’s what you feel, sense, see, taste, touch and hear without labeling it, reacting to it or judging it.
What is Observe?
It is difficult to remain objective and you may engage in behaviors that are solely driven by your subjective perceptions and internal feelings.
What is Emotional mind?
Put your life in perspective. Is there a time when you've faced more difficult challenges than you're facing today?
What is Comparison?
Being fully present to the moment, not lost in the past or thinking about the future.
What is One-mindfully?
Putting words to what you Observe, whether that’s a sensation, emotion or thought without adding judgment.
What is Describe?
It is difficult to remain objective and you may engage in behaviors that are solely driven by your subjective perceptions and internal emotional state.
What is the Wise mind?
What you learn from the experience. Maybe you’ll be more empathetic. Maybe you’ll build new relationships. Maybe this will launch you on a healing journey. Find a reason, or a possible reason, to assign your present suffering.
What is Meaning?
Doing what works vs. sitting on your hands and wishing reality were different. Shifting the focus away from concepts of fair and unfair, or who is right and who is wrong, in order to do what works.
What is Effectively?
Throwing yourself completely into an activity, letting go of self-consciousness, judgement and fear. The opposite of sitting on the sidelines and watching.
What is Participate?
You may notice that you feel somewhat detached from the situation and find yourself noticing the facts and planning future behavior based solely on observable knowledge.
What is Reasonable mind?
This skill doesn't have to come from an external source to be effective and can be achieved by repeating phrases that are meaningful to you, such as “I got this”, “I can improve this moment."
What is Encouragement?
Washing your hands, noticing the temperature and pressure of the water, smelling the scent of the soap, feeling the sensation of hands rubbing hands. Noticing how the towel feels drying your hands and how your clean hands feel afterwards.

What is Observe?
This deep-seated intuition comes from an integration of “direct experience, immediate cognition, and the grasping of the meaning, significance, or truth of an event without relying on intellectual analysis” (Linehan, 1993, p. 214).
What is Wise mind?
When you can’t deal with something just yet, you can distract yourself with other activities, thoughts, or mindfulness. You can even set a time to come back to the issue. You know that it will be addressed, and you can relax in the interim.
