Rick Hanson, a psychologist and author who teaches mindfulness informed by neuropsychology, talks about using your mind to change the brain.
The starting point is that the mind shapes the mind. Some self-awareness is needed if you want to change your brain. Essentially, this is a way to change how you think: reduce the negative and grow the positive. As you shift your thinking, there may be less room for negative thoughts. You plant the seed of positivity and happiness and let it grow in your mind. Hardwiring happiness is a theme of Rick Hanson’s teaching.
