Summary:

Now for today’s episode which features my interview with Psychologist Dr Wendy Ulrich as we discuss how cognitive behavior therapy can help us become more hopeful.

Last week we spoke with NLP Practitioners Jacquie Nagy and Ed Olvera about how to take time for selfcare and relaxation and I love that this week’s conversation with Wendy picks right where they left off. She shares an amazing definition of hope and talks about how we can find meaning in the most difficult situations. When we retrain our brain to look at things differently, we can calm our brains to find peace and override the negative thoughts we generate when we become depressed.

I hope you will enjoy this interview as much as I did.

Best advice from Dr. Wendy Ulrich:

  • we’ve learned from working with people is that hope is really essential; that if we don’t grow, we don’t change
  • we retrain our brains to look for what’s right, what’s possible, what’s good, what’s still available to us, and not just for what’s threatening and, and difficult
  • our brain does better when we’re in motion
  • motivation follows action
  • find ways to express gratitude
  • focus on what we can control even in the midst of what we cannot control
