Episode 5: Teaching the Old Mind New Tricks

Send us Fan MailOnce we have learned how to get some relief from repetitive negative thoughts, it frees us up to use our minds to improve important areas of our life. People have intuitively known for a long time that the quality of our thoughts impacts the body—for better or worse. Advances in research into neuroimmunology and epigenetics have shown that harnessing the power of positive thinking can improve our health in numerous ways. We can learn to use affirmations, repeating positive, true, and present-tense statements to improve our motivation and shape our behavior. We can learn to use imaginal rehearsal to unlock better sports  performance, artistic performance, and performance in many other areas in our life. We can learn to use the power of imagination to facilitate healing more quickly and more efficiently within our body. We can use our imagination to clarify our goals and values, which can help us live more purposeful and meaningful lives. Support the showThank you for listening!For more information, visit: www.drdanraker.comPlease subscribe and share with your friends.Just Published!
