Change Your Mind, A Neurologist's Guide to Happiness
-
Most people may think that neurologists should only be consulted when you have symptoms or are diagnosed with a neurological disorder or disease. Newer research in neurology has also found methods to be happier in life. The book ‘Change Your Mind: A Neurologist’s Guide to Happiness’ by Devakinanda Vithal Pasupuleti dives into that topic.
Neurology Tips to be Happier
Being happy makes people do their job better, maintain good relationships with those in their lives, and extend life expectancy in a person. Devakinanda’s book delves into the neurology research that proves that one can train one brain to be happier. Here are a few steps one needs to do to accomplish that:
- Self-assessment: Though many may think that this method seems like it won't work, not only does asking yourself if you're positive in a situation help you assess how much of a positive thinker you are, it also forces your brain to think more positively in the future due to a phenomenon called metacognition
- Positive words: Another seemingly silly method is by tricking your brain into emoting happiness by using and learning happier words such as 'love,' 'joy,' 'smile,' etc. and incorporating it into one's vocabulary
- Associations: Associate a particular object or event that you often see in your daily life with a mental reminder to enjoy the little things in life, take a breath, and be happy to be alive
- Thanksgiving: Aside from the one day a year dedicated to giving thanks for the blessing in your life, making it a daily practice to be grateful for the good things around you helps lift one's mood and be happy
- Journaling: Keeping a diary is not just for little girls but should be taken seriously by anyone trying to be happier. They should pen down things that make them happy each day and read them whenever they want to remind themselves of the happy moments.
- Celebrate wins: No matter how small the success, be sure to celebrate it so that you give yourself affirmation that you are doing good.
The book provides its readers with these tips and more to help more people to train their brains to be happier in detail.
