39 Using Mindfulness To Decrease Stress & Create a Positive Mindset

In this episode, Gabi, Isabelle, and Robyn are sharing stories of how they use the principles in a few of their favorite books to rewire their brain so that it attaches to positive experiences which in turn lowers overall stress and helps them live a life aligned with purpose and passion. Gabi breaks down how the book, Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, & Wisdom, demonstrates the way that our brain is wired for a "negativity bias" and that while this is useful in keeping us safe, it is also the same function that is often keeping us from being happy. Isabelle shares how using some of the mediations & reflection exercises in the book Happier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy & Lasting Fulfillment, can help transform that negativity bias by mindfully evaluating our actions & behaviors relative to present versus future benefit and detriment. Robyn discusses how empowering it has been to listen to the docuseries, Proven, and see how these unconventional methods of healing- such as mindfulness, mediation, grounding in nature- can not only rewire your brain, but also redefine your health, happiness, and vibrancy. Hope this episode inspires you to also live boldly & question everything.
