Richard J. Davidson emphasizes the importance of setting intentions and expressing gratitude during daily interactions. By focusing on individuals and thanking them for their contributions, one can significantly enhance the quality of conversations and the entire day. Davidson argues that, similar to brushing teeth as a learned habit for physical hygiene, mental well-being also requires regular nurturing. Training our minds to prioritize emotional health can lead to transformative changes in both personal lives and society at large.
When humans first evolved, none of us were brushing our teeth. Now, pretty much everyone on the planet brushes their teeth. It's not part of our genome.
If we spend even as short of time as we do brushing our teeth nourishing our mind, our findings... show that this world would be a different place.
