As I discuss in detail in this podcast when we fail to keep a resolution (which often happens!), we can feel really bad about it. We often experience shame because we often think that there must be something wrong with us, or we think that we always fail and are so bad at all this “life” stuff. But that’s not the case at all! So in this episode I share how to correctly rewire your brain to create sustainable habits, why positive affirmations are not sustainable solutions, why giving up on goals may actually be a good thing, and more!Show blog: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/are-new-year-s-resoluti

This means that when we are connected to others in deep and meaningful ways, and when we are satisfied with where we are in life and where we are going (even if we have ups and downs, which are normal!), we can function at a healthy level. The brain likes it when we are in a good place!Read the show blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/can-you-make-yourself-a-more-optimistic-personSPECIAL OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:Blinkist (This is one of my favorite ways to pass the time while exercising and build my brain, which improves mental resilience!): To get your free week on Blinkist

Just text DRLEAF to 1 (833) 285 3747SHOW DESCRIPTION: Anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress are all ways of describing natural human responses to adversity. We all face adversity in many different ways; challenging events and circumstances are as much a part of modern existence as they were a part of human history. In this session, I discuss how this pain, which is very real, is a sign that there’s something going on in your life that needs to be addressed: you are in a state of disequilibrium. It’s not a sign of a defective brain. The brain is going through a process of reordering and reorganization in response to an experience because the brain

Today we’re overwhelmed with information and under-equipped to navigate through it. The good news is that we’ve never had more knowledge about how we might extend our lifespans.
