@sharpthinking_o expresses the concept of constantly chasing happiness as the main cause of unhappiness in such an eloquent way
Happiness is often thought of as the gap, or lack thereof, between what we want, and what we have. In this view, happiness is simply getting what we want out of life, again and again and again.
How does lack of sleep impact our ability to understand the emotions of others and care for them? And how is COVID 19 impacting this? I will address these questions during the SRS @srs_tml Virtual Seminar Series on Jan 26! Register here: sleepresearchsociety.org/career-educati…
It has been said that "history is just one damn thing after another", and sometimes our lives can feel the same. The time to start getting serious about making the changes we want in our lives, is now. The time to make change is always now. sharpthinking.org/post/points-of…
"There are two take messages here - 1) The risk of dementia is declining over time in the population; and 2) the choices you make about how you live your life have important implications for your brain health and cognitive functioning as you age" sharpthinking.org/post/dementia-…
"By pointedly focusing our attention on exactly what we intend to remember, we give our memory a fighting chance." sharpthinking.org/post/wait-did-…
#ADHD is now being recognized in older adults, but can it be diagnosed using the same criteria? thanks to @s_mitnu & @sashalavoie for identifying important next steps needed to (re)define ADHD in older adults: doi.org/10.1016/j.jagp…
Paradoxically, fostering these flickering or fleeting negative thoughts can make us realize how fortunate we are to have all that we already do. 💡
The point here is not to have these negative visualizations linger indefinitely, but rather to consider them for a brief moment in order to gain a greater appreciation for what we already have.
