Why You’re Feeling Stuck – and How to Fix It
|
|
"When people are caught up in being at war with themselves or being internally divided, they definitely obstruct the healing, growing, and awakening process."
– Dr. Rick Hanson
|
Most of us have gone through a time in life when it felt like we were stuck: unable to deal with our issues, change in useful ways, or make our lives the way we wanted them to be. It’s often not for lack of trying. You read the books, you followed the exercises, you maybe even saw a therapist…but it just didn’t help. In this episode, Dr. Rick and Forrest explore why feeling stuck happens, and what we can do about it.

Breaking Out of a Depressed Mood
|
|
About 30% of people will experience depression at some point in their lives, and most of us know what a depressed mood feels like. Because depressive episodes are common, there’s no lack of good advice out there. But depression is so challenging in part because it attacks our ability to do anything about it. Depression saps our energy, is demotivating, and makes it difficult to actually put that good advice into practice. In this episode, Dr. Rick and Forrest explore what we can do about this, and how we can break out of an episode of depressed mood.

ASK RICK:
|
Can we hardwire our brains to be grittier the same way we can hardwire them to be happier?
|
 |
My hyper succinct two word answer is: “You bet!”
And to expand a bit: any kind of learning – including emotional, social, motivational, and character learning – must involve changes in the brain.
|
"This means that grit – resilience, determination, persistence, hardiness, courage – gets developed through changes in neural structure and function."
|
We develop more grit through having repeated experiences of determination, endurance, resolve, perseverance, and sheer survival that get woven into the fabric of the brain – and thus one’s life.
