Episode 23 with Lesley Alderman

Have you ever struggled with finding your happiness or maintaining an upbeat attitude when the world seems programmed to stress you out? (Raising my hand here!)

Well in this episode we talked with author, editor and psychotherapist Lesley Alderman about tips to overcome negative thinking based on her excellent article in the New York Times Well Blog The Year of Conquering Negative Thinking.

Topics covered in our interview:

• How to tell if you are just experiencing negative thinking or really need professional help for your moods.
• How humans tend to be more like “Eeyor than Tigger” dwelling on bad experiences than good ones.
• The power of “Socratic Questioning”
• Breathing techniques  that can help you gain mindfulness.
• Advice on how to stop from feeling the need to solve all of your friends and family problems. (Really!)
• Her favorite statistic she found writing her debut book The Book of Times
• How the “Stop Technique” can help you deal with anxious thoughts
