Enjoy Sobriety

Last updated on: July 23, 2015 at 1:05 pm By Rick Hanson

Out of balance? The Practice: Enjoy sobriety. Why? By “sobriety,” I mean healthy self-control, a centered enjoyment of life, and an inner freedom from drivenness. We typically apply this sense of balance and self-care to things like food, drugs and alcohol, sexuality, money, and risky behaviors. And if you like, you could bring sobriety to The post Enjoy Sobriety appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson. Read more

Enjoy The Freedom Not To

Last updated on: July 16, 2015 at 10:31 am By Rick Hanson

Do you got to? The Practice: Enjoy the freedom not to. Why? We’re pulled and prodded by financial pressures, commuter traffic, corporate policies, technology, advertising, politics, and the people we work with and live with. As well, internal forces yank the proverbial chains, including emotional reactions, compelling desires, “shoulds,” and internalized “voices” from parents and The post Enjoy The Freedom Not To appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson.

Enjoy Four Kinds of Peace

Last updated on: July 9, 2015 at 2:24 pm By Rick Hanson

What’s your sense of peace? The Practice: Enjoy four kinds of peace. Why? “Peace” can sound merely sentimental or clichéd (“visualize whirled peas”). But deep down, it’s what most of us long for. Consider the proverb: The highest happiness is peace. Not a peace inside that ignores pain in oneself or others, or is acquired by The post Enjoy Four Kinds of Peace appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson. Read more

Get Out of the War

Last updated on: July 7, 2015 at 6:24 am By Rick Hanson

What are you fighting? The Practice: Get out of the war. Why? By “war” I mean here a mindset, not combat between nations with tanks and bombs. The “war” I’m referring to is an attitude of conflict and animosity toward a person, object, or condition. Parents can feel at war with a misbehaving teenager, and The post Get Out of the War appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson. Read more

Relax, You’re Going to be Criticized

Last updated on: June 24, 2015 at 1:00 pm By Rick Hanson

What are you bracing against? The Practice: Relax, you’re going to be criticized. Why? The title of this practice is a little tongue-in-cheek. What I mean is, most of us – me included – spend time worrying about criticism: past, present, and even future. Yes, try hard, keep agreements, “don’t be evil,” etc. But sooner The post Relax, You’re Going to be Criticized appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson. Read more
