\\u201cWell being is a skill\\u201d
\\nThis is how the world-renown neuroscientist, Richie Davidson, opened a wonderful talk I just watched for the umpteenth time (link in the comments).
\\nWhat he\\u2019s saying here is that through practice, well being can be developed in the very same way any other skill can be.
\\nAnd the thing is, we are always practicing one way or another in our lives.
\\nIf we are consistently looking at the negative aspects of our lives, we are practicing negativity.
\\nIf we allow our mind to wander consistently, we are practicing mind wandering.
\\nThe bottom line is that we are either building the skill of well being.
\\nOr we are building the skill of taking ourselves away from well being.
\\nSo what are you practicing today?
\\nAnd is it moving you closer to or further from well being.
