How we view ourselves, other people, and the world around us has a huge impact on the emotions we feel, the choices we make, and the quality of the lives we lead. These are our perspectives, and they\u2019re the foundation our lives are built on\u2026which is why changing them is so freakin\u2019 hard.\xa0\nIn this episode, Forrest and Rick explore what perspectives are, what a healthy perspective looks like in practice, and how we can deliberately shift our perspectives over time. Specific topics include unpacking where perspectives come from, getting better at identifying when a perspective starts to affect our behavior, and thinking of ourselves as \u201crivers\u201d rather than \u201crocks.\u201d By the end of this episode, you\u2019ll learn the key skills you need to change the views that have been holding you back.\xa0\nNeurodharma Course!
