What role does the media play in fear? How does being accessible all of the time feed our anxious mind? Is the analogy of the mind as a computer useful for dealing with anxiety? In this episode, Brian Sachetta and Angela Levesque explore practical approaches to dealing with these uncertain times. We talk about the importance of anchoring our attention, using specific tools such as meditation, education and re-framing. We also talk about why agency and the power of choice is essential

Brant Cortright Ph.D. on Integrative Brain Health and Human Potential

Over the past several decades we have seen mental health issues increase dramatically. Much of this is due to being constantly bombarded by neurotoxins that diminishes our brain’s potential. This not only leads to cognitive decline but also impacts our sense of self. In today’s episode, Angela interviews Brant Cortright Ph.D. We explore the brain from an integrative perspective seeing it as the nexus point for our spirit, emotions, cognition, and physical body. We also talk about what things we can do to reverse or mitigate this process of cognitive decline. As well as look at spiritual practices that lead to neurogenesis and an increased sense of well-being.
