Be Mind Full of Good

Last updated on: September 19, 2015 at 7:00 am By Rick Hanson

What’s in your mind? The Practice: Be mind full of good. Why? It’s kind of amazing: right now, what you think and feel, enjoy and suffer, is changing your brain. The brain is the organ that learns, designed by evolution to be changed by our experiences: what scientists call experience-dependent neuroplasticity. Neurons that fire together, The post Be Mind Full of Good appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson. Read more

Drop the Load

Last updated on: September 5, 2015 at 7:30 am By Rick Hanson

Are you doing too much? The Practice: Drop the load. Why? You may have seen the old Mickey Mouse movie in which he is working at a conveyor belt in a factory. More and more widgets come at him that he has to handle, and he gets increasingly frazzled as he struggles to keep up. The post Drop the Load appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson. Read more

Questions about the Negativity Bias

Last updated on: September 1, 2015 at 5:53 pm By Rick Hanson

I receive a lot of questions about the negativity bias and how to over come it. Here are a few: “Is the brain still evolving? Even though we have a brain sculpted by Stone Age experiences, is the brain in any way advancing into a more highly evolved version of itself?” “What thoughts or suggestions The post Questions about the Negativity Bias appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson.

Back to Basics

Last updated on: August 21, 2015 at 7:00 am By Rick Hanson

What’s fundamental? The Practice: Back to basics. Why? In middle school, I thought it would be cool to play a musical instrument, and picked the clarinet. My wise parents rented one rather than buying it, and I started practicing. (In the garage because it sounded pretty screechy.)

Wake Up To Good News

Last updated on: August 14, 2015 at 8:30 am By Rick Hanson

Are you exaggerating sticks while downplaying carrots? The Practice: Wake up to good news. Why? “Tell the truth.” It’s the foundation of science, ethics, and relationships. But we have a brain that evolved to tell lies to help us survive.

Pay Attention

Last updated on: August 7, 2015 at 5:25 pm By Rick Hanson

Is your mind wandering? The Practice: Pay attention. Why? Moment to moment, the flows of thoughts and feelings, sensations and desires, and conscious and unconscious processes sculpt your nervous system like water gradually carving furrows and eventually gullies on a hillside. Your brain is continually changing its structure. The only question is: Is it for The post Pay Attention appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson. Read more
