-
- Self-Improvement
Today we discuss some tips from Rick Hanson, PhD's book Just One Thing: Developing a Buddha Brain One Simple Practice at a Time for how to change your brain for better or worse.
Some highlights:
We are not our brains - we are the observers.
We can decide what is and isn't serving us and intentionally change our brains through neuroplasticity.
There are physiologic changes associated with neuroplasticity.
"Neurons that fire together, wire together." - Donald Hebb, PhD
Two important practices:
Be For Yourself - treat yourself as well as you'd treat a best friend or child. Choose things that are in your best interest. Don't diminish your own accomplishments.
Taking In The Good - knowing that our brains have a negativity bias, spend time in and relish the good on purpose.
Resources:
