To describe and learn to better deal with emotions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses a very powerful metaphor: the "passengers on the bus".
The following game-like series of short Youtube videos, titled Passengers on the Bus - Choose Your Own Adventure, is an excellent illustration of how to use this metaphor to improve your responses to the various emotions, feelings, and thoughts you may experience in your daily life.
In the first video, you are the driver of a bus, but something happens, and you have a choice to make at the end of the video. Your choice will then determine which video you will see next in the sequence.
This amazing project was created by (X), an expert in behavioral psychology and PhD student at (X), where she researches rule-governed behavior in accordance with Relational Frame Theory, one of the theories underpinning ACT.
If you are curious about her other work, you can follow (X) on Twitter and on ResearchGate.

Ich habe seit einer Weile etwas bemerkt: mein aktives Vokabular, also das Vokabular, das ich mühelos benutzen kann, ist viel kleiner als mein passives Vokabular.
Das merke ich sofort, wenn ich Media bzw. Inhalte die für Muttersprachler gedacht ist, konsumiere und für verstehen kann, aber würde so etwas mit viel Schwierigkeiten reproduzieren.

In the daytime period, I told my students that "if you keep me stay away from trouble, I will also keep you from trouble." However, the Chinese teacher who was having night class told me that a few students asked to go toilet in turn, which was very suspicious. Furthermore, quite a few students changed thire seats without approval. What's worse, a boy often went through the teachers' desk to throw rubbish. She regarded him was challenging her priciple.
Then I went to the classroom, stayed at the corrider to hear who was talking. I knew it was quite a bad behaviour, but I had no idea what to do. I heard that there were three obvious voice and I knew whose they were. So I went into the classroom and asked the talkers to stand up conciously. However, all the students became quiet quickly and no one answerd. I talked loud three names angrily and asked them to go to the office with me.
They all denied that they had talked. I got angrier because it sounded like I was insulting them. Otherwise, I smelled the smoke smell from a boy. I asked him that whether he also had smoked, he denied. I asked him to look at my eyes and tell me that he never did it, but he couldn't.
In the daytime period, it was him as well that he asked me not to posed my Wechat Moments all in English. It sounded like we were good friends. Everything was changing so quickly.

La sperimentazione animale nella ricerca medica può essere giustificata?
Mettetevi, cari attivisti, nei panni di un profano; non può esserci nessuno che vuole essere una cavia in un laboratorio. Quando si mettono dei topi o dei conigli nelle sperimentazioni che sembrano a volte sinistre, si lo fa per il bene comune; vale a dire, quegli animali possono aiutarci a sviluppare una cura che sradica una peste dalla faccia della Terra.
Lasciatemi, cari attivisti, a rispolverare i tomi delle emeroteche; quando è stata l'ultima volta che qualcuno ha usato degli uomini nella ricerca medica? Sì, avete azzeccato la risposta! Un gruppo sovversivo: i nazisti . Avevano esposto gli ebrei, senza nessun articolo di abbigliamento, a temperature sotto zero in modo da capire se gli organi fossero capaci di sopportare tali condizioni estreme. Avevano effettuato, senza pietà, un aborto a chi consideravano difettoso.
Cari attivisti, prima di scagliarmi insulti, ricordate questo: C'è lo zampino del fascismo nello sfruttamento dell'uomo. Volete che perduri qui? Liberate pure, il Diavolo dalla cella, reclinatevi sulla poltrona, e vedrete la calamità che generereste.

Je travaille à une école qui n'autorise pas les cacahouètes. Dans les après-midis, je suis affamée. Il y a une pièce avec un distributeur. Je cherche quelque chose bien. À ma déception, un tiers de la machine contient des en-cas avec des cacahouètes. Une barre chocolatée avec le buerre de cacahouète. Les chips avec les cacahouètes. Au bout de compte, je choisis des m&ms.

Recuerdé que había visto dos policías por una iglesia cerca. Inmediatamente corrí en esa dirección. Intenté explicar a ellos que paso en español chapurreado. Me rieron, pero entendieron así que me dejó en el hostal. No recuperaría mi celular o mi mochila. La policía explicó a la recepcionista que paso después coqueteando con ella. ¡Quedó estupefacta! “Deberías me preguntado donde caminar!” me dijo. Ya que no tuve un celular tenía que enviar un mensaje a mis padres en canada. En la computadora en el hostal escribí a mi mama “me robaran, no tengo celular, hablar pronto”.

Я сказу вас легенда Ирландая и я надеюсь, что она вас нравиться. Легенда 'Ку Куланн' (Cú Chulainn в Ирландский), это моя любимая легенда Ирландская, потому, что она сказает сказку как назавается человека, что Ку Куланн
Сэтанту был мальчик. Его пригласили на банкете Король Куланн в его замоке, потому, что он был очень прекасный спортсмен. Это уже поздна когда он приехал, один, потому, он играл в 'хурлинг' (древний ирландский спорт). Все гости уже пришли и собака Куланн был бне замок. Когда Сэтанта ближе к замок, видел крупная собака. Она бегала и лаяла на Сетанте. Меч не имел его, толко хурл (типа ирландский клюшка) и слитьёр (типа маленький ирландский мяч). Подождал, пока собака открыл свой рот лаять и Сэтанта ударил по слитьёр на роте. Собака упала на землю, мертвая.
Когда Король Куланн слишал новости, он очень грустный. Сэтанта предложил охранять замок, что искупил свою вину, пока воспитывать новая собака. Потом Сэтанта называется Ку Куланн (собака Куланн в Ирландскый).
Я надеюсь, что легенда вас нравиться и если вас интересуют, я могу сказать другие, древние, Ирландские легенды.

I am currently listening to my favorite songs from when I was at university.
When listening to the songs, I reminisce about my past.
I listened to one song when I moved to Seoul very first time.
Another song was my favorite one when I had military service.
Because those songs are sad feeling, I used to listen them when I had a bad day.
Now, I can remember my old days like pain of youth.

Hace un mes empecé a aprender francés de nuevo.
Creo que mi nivel de español está bastante alto, entonces quería empezar con un idioma más.
Me encantaría aprender árabe, pero creo que necesito asistir a un curso en una escuela para aprenderlo bien.
Ya tenía clases de francés en la escuela, entonces es más fácil. Recuerdo muchas palabras y algunas estructuras de la gramática.
Y mi mejor amiga habla francés como lengua materna, y espero que me enseñe muchas cosas :)
Hasta ahora solo estoy practicando con Duolingo.
Sin embargo, sigo aprendiendo español en los próximos meses. Tengo algunos amigos con quien hablo español.

ZORN is a Japanese Hip-Hop musician. One of my favorite songs is "Kan'oke" which means a coffin in English. This song is about his grandmother's death. In the first half, it songs the time just before she passed away, illustrating her sickness. In the second half, he songs about her funeral and how he will live. This song isn't an imitation of US Hip-Hop. The rhyme is original and overwhelming.

Ao fim, a viagem para Europa foi incrível.
Achei que as pessoas espanholas e portuguesas serão simpáticas.
Eu sinto a fala dos dias que eu posso viajar no países estrangeiros.
A pandemia afeta-me.
Eu estou a vivier na minha cidade natal, e eu penso muitas coisas passadas.
Eu penso muitos coisas em vez das viagens, e eu serei escrever em português aqui.
Além disso, eu farei muitos exames em outubro e dezembro.
Eu terei de escrever algumas temas relatório do exame e profissão.
Pouco depois, eu tenho de voltar a Taipé e fazer os exames.

Recently I start doing excise again.
But this time the amount of training is much more!
In fact, I would even say is a “fool” style.
For example, I will be jogging 1 hour for 7 days!
First of all, I do know my body can manage to do without end up injured myself.
But as a normal person spend such amount of time for excise.
I am a fool!
But at the same time, I did agree that I become a little more confidence.
Because this is an achievement makes me feel good about myself.
I don’t even care what other people think of me.
If you want to enrich your confidence level, maybe you follow what I did.

Estoy casi terminado con el libro ahora. Cuando empecé a leer el libro, no pude leer muy rápido y tuve que buscar muchas palabras en el diccionario, pero ahora, puedo leer con mucho más fluidez. No obstante, pienso que voy a leer mi proximo libro en mi Kindle: planeo descargar un diccionario español al Kindle, y con eso podré tocar las palabras desconocidas y inmediatamente obtener una definición. Probablemente debo escoger una obra de ficción esta vez: aunque disfruté este libro, quiero leer más dialogo, descripción de personas y cosas como eso que solo se pueden encontrar en una novela. Si tienes una recomendación, ¡dímela!
Como dije, en general me gustó Las Venas Abiertas. El libro no trata de todos los países latinoamericanos y sus sucesos, obviamente, porque eso tomaría volúmenes - en vez, Galeano escoge unas temas claves, como el monocultivo agrícola, y teje una historia convincente usando los eventos, estadísticas, y anécdotas más destacados de la historia de Latinoamérica. Por eso el libro a veces puede ser no lineal; el autor salta de país a país, de siglo a siglo, súbitamente pero limpiamente. Él logra componer una grande historia, y más que una historia una línea de pensamiento muy claro y penetrante. Él no intenta esconder sus opiniones o simpatías políticas, pero tampoco depende de la jerga ni los lemas que son muy comunes en escritura política.
