#MYMIND UNSPLASH UPDATE#
There’s a traditional saying that the mind takes the shape it rests upon the modern update is that the brain takes the shape the mind rests upon.
#MYMIND UNSPLASH HOW TO#
In his book, Just One Thing, Rick Hanson describes how to undertake the process of “developing a buddha brain one simple practice at a time.” The book outlines 52 brief actions you can do several times a day to craft a brain that is less stressed, happier, and more resilient with a deeper sense of well-being. He writes: The neurological explanation of how this happens is complicated, but the basic concept is simple: every minute of every day you are shaping your brain.
Just as your brain influences your interpretation of the world, your world physically influences the structure of your brain through a process called experience-dependent neuroplasticity. This time, I consciously choose to rebuild my brain to make healthier patterns and put my mind to work for me. Because the underlying belief systems and the perceptual foundation upon which I’d built my reality withered away along with brain cells, I got to start with a clean slate, so to speak.

These subjective influences, shaped by family, religion, school, culture, and life experiences past and present, are typically below your conscious awareness and determine how you respond to the world, act in relationships, and think of and talk to yourself.įor most of my life, I let my mind bash, bully, undermine, and torture me which resulted in a decade of depression culminating in the suicide attempt.

How you feel, think, and move, what you see and hear, literally every single thing originates in or is processed by that three-pound mass in your head. On the other hand, your mind can mercilessly criticize and ridicule your every move, hold you back from going after whatever you really want in life, and sabotage and second-guess every part of your relationships. The thoughts in your head can give you the stuff you need to go after and be successful in the profession of your dreams, maintain loving, healthy relationships, and be pretty happy and optimistic on most days when slogging through muck and mire of life. Your mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy.
