Mark Waldman, a neuro coach, walks through creating a life transformation board: you reflect on positive life events and share them with someone you trust. The practice is designed to boost your well-being.
Hi, this is Mark Waldman. I'm your resident neuro coach. And today I'm going to share with you a very unique experience and experiment that I would like you to try. It's called a life transformation board and it's an incredible exercise to do. Because the human brain doesn't spend much time thinking about the past. And when it does think about the past, it tends to focus on all of the negative things that have happened. Negative memories are the ones we tend to encode the most deeply. Here's what I'd like you to do. I would like you to create a life transformation board where you write down the highlights of your entire life. What books have you read that transformed your lifestyle? What people have you met that changed your entire outlook on on life? What discoveries have you made that allow you to see the world in a whole different way? I want you to take a full half hour and to think about all of the events in your past that enriched your life, transformed your life, gave your life more meaning and purpose. After you've written these all down on a sheet of paper, I want you to call up your best friend or your spouse or somebody you deeply trust. And I want you to verbally share those life transformative events. When you do so, I want you to immerse yourself in as much of the memory as possible. I want you to re experience each of those events as if it was happening in the present moment. When I did this exercise, I ended up remaining in a state of bliss, literally for three months. I highly recommend that you give this one a try. It may just be the most wonderful experience you've ever had. This is Mark Waldman. Have a wonderful day.
