Overriding Negative Tendencies To Create Flourishing

We discuss how we need to override negative tendencies to create flourishing in our lives.

And we look at neurological aspects of thought and emotion in terms of how we experience the world.

We touch on the following:

1. We can get caught up in cycles of emotional addiction
2. These cycles may mean that we feel ‘good’ neurologically when we’re doing what is familiar i.e. being anxious, frustrated or angry
3. Neurons that fire together wire together
4. We can use specific techniques to change our neurological wiring
5. The one that wins is the one you feed the most

We highlight the ABCDE technique from Albert Ellis that helps us stay away from negative thought processes and to have more effective thoughts and behaviour.
