Train Your Brain for Happiness and Freedom from Chronic Stress

Our brains have evolved powerful tools for coping with threats and danger―but in the face of modern stresses like information overload, money worries, and interpersonal conflicts, our survival reflexes can do more harm than good.

Join him to learn research-based techniques and meditations that will literally reshape your brain to make you more resilient, confident, and peaceful, including:

How to replace your brain's unhealthy reactions to stress with protective and self-nurturing responses
· Techniques for using memory to soothe and release painful feelings of sadness, guilt, anxiety, inadequacy, or anger
· Guided meditations for calming chronic worries, developing gratitude, building inner strength, and more
· How to rewire your brain away from frustration, heartache, fear, and anger toward contentment, love, and peace
Course objectives:

List some qualities of the affiliating, approaching and avoiding systems
· Describe ways in which survival reflexes can do more harm than good
· Utilize practices that deepen the neurological capacity for happiness and wellness
· Practice guided exercises for calming chronic worries, developing gratitude, building inner strength
· Apply techniques that use memory to soothe and release painful feelings of sadness, guilt, anxiety, inadequacy, or anger
· Plan to use meditation to reshape your brain and be more resilient, confident, and peaceful
