A Practice: Dr. Richard Davidson on Gaining Insight

Find posture, check in with your body, and take several deep, calming breaths. Be intentional about your motivation and find a place in us to understand that practices to cultivate our own wellbeing can also help others. This is a radical act of generosity Bring into your mind a situation that has been challenging in some way in the recent past - whether work, family, etc.. not too difficult, but something challenging.  Identify what it is. Reflect on your own beliefs and expectations about that situation. What beliefs and expectations are we bringing to that situation? Envision how things might be different if we came to the situation with a different set of beliefs and expectations. Would it be different with the different beliefs and expectations? End practice by dedicating whatever insight we may have gleaned to the benefit of others.   Listen to the Full Episode - S1: E3 Cultivating a Healthy Mind: The Neuroscience of Awareness, Connection, Insight, & Purpose with Dr. Richie Davidson.  Here Dr. Davidson guides you in a practice to gain insight into your life.      About the Thrive Center Learn more at thethrivecenter.org.
