Our brains crave the familiar.
\\nSuch a simple sentence, yet there is so much to unpack!
\\nBecause the confounding aspect of that statement is that the brain craves the familiar even when the familiar is uncomfortable or detrimental to our well being.
\\nIn today\\u2019s episode, I talk about why our brains do this and the effects (positive and negative) that result.
\\nMindfulness is all about bringing intentional presence to what it is we\\u2019re doing.
\\nIt\\u2019s about sensing, in real time, that this familiar thing we\\u2019re doing is not serving us.
\\nAnd this can only happen when we pay attention.
\\nIn today\\u2019s episode, I offer a few very simple practices you can do, today, to help train your mind to take over for the automatic behavior of the brain and be present with all you do all day.
\\nOnce you train yourself to be present in this way, you can be happy for no reason!
