Hello and welcome to the Being Well Podcast, My name is Forrest Hansen. In this episode

we're going to be tackling a pretty big topic which is how do you deal with your own mind?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Something, yeah, just a small topic.

So as you could hear, I'm joined as always by Dr. Rick Hansen.

Dad, how you doing?

Excellent for us.

I'm really glad to be here.

So I often hear you use phrases like dealing with the mind.

Specifically, being with your mind or working with your mind, different elements of something bad happens and then what do you do about it?

But when you say that phrase dealing with the mind, what are you really talking about in kind of a practical sense?

Yeah, so people are really used to the idea of the world around us, doing things in the world

around us to try to make things better. Like as you know, I'm clearing out our garage these days

and trying to make it better.

You're a really good cook.

You're trying to make what you cook better.

We're used to that idea.

But simultaneously, we're having experiences and what can we do with the experiences?

The thoughts we're actually having, the feelings we're having, the desires we're having, or not having,

to nudge them in a better direction. That's the territory of dealing with your mind.

And just realizing that you can do things to deal with your own mind is actually a breakthrough for many people.
