Many of us in the US live high-pressure mindset lives. We are always on the “go”. Lots of things to check off on our daily lists, so many “to-do’s”. Many of us constantly run around slightly out of breath. I remember going out with friends once, and a guy in his early 30s was pulling on a rubbery band that was on his wrist.
Always a huge thank you for great information! I agree, knowledge indeed is power and to add in -- the placebo effect too is really a powerful thing -- making use of our imagination is a wonderful thing for sure --the imagination exists for a reason can be incredible as if we can think it or see ourselves doing whatever and BEING able to do whatever ( as long as it is not harming anyone ever), I think this is really beneficial -- really nice reading Dr. DBL!!! TY as always for great information! Gives ya a lot to ponder!!!! Very interesting!!!! Always warmly, Carolyne Shapiro, Los Angeles, CA
I like this post. Always wanted to learn something about my brain, which I have been for years trying to train to be present in the moment---always. I agree with your "cruise" companions. We American work too much.
This makes sense. . . common sense really. To take time to be in the moment. Something so easy to forget and to slide into the "need to get this done" mode. Thank you for the evidence based reminder. My Italian mother would tell me the same thing your cruise friends did - "You American women think you have to do everything". Working on overcoming!
