Practical Wisdom with Dr. Rick Hanson
How to Shift Your Thoughts and Feelings about Others
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It’s easy to feel hurt, frustrated, or reactive when others let us down — or when we’re caught in old patterns of resentment and blame. But we actually have the power to influence how we see, feel about, and respond to other people. So this week I explored how to “love at will,” make positive deposits in our emotional memory bank, and draw on timeless Buddhist wisdom to live with more kindness, integrity, and peace — even when others are difficult.
