And yet I can sit here and listen to Dr Ellen, a professor of Harvard who turns the world into something new. Profound. Thank you Rich and Dr Ellen for being in the world at this time. Here’s to a time when there will be no vertical line and everyone will recognise that no one is better than anyone else.

    When I began my healthcare career as 13 yr old “candy striper, ” patients’ beds on 2nd Main were 2 to a room, 5 in the sunroom, 6 in the “ward,” and only 1 private room. We filled disposable ice water pitchers, delivered meal trays, fed those who could not manage self feeding, picked up meal trays. Beginning at 8pm, we gave nightly back rubs. Patients visited with one another. The hospital food service made soups, salads, and casseroles on site, not from a freezer or box. After college, I worked at that hospital for 25 years. When we needed a pleasant focal point for patients to look at while they had blood drawn, we simply asked Frank Simek, the CEO, and he had a forest mural installed across the entire wall. I retired last fall, but if Dr. Langer builds a mindful hospital and or school, I am onboard in whatever way I can be useful.

They just changed out all those lights when new company bought the hospital and put in generic medicinal looking lights. Gazing upwards while in CT Scans is no longer pleasurable. I've had nothing but negative results from imaging since. I'm going to have to close my eyes and think like it used to be to have same results

But one thing we struggle a lot with is to not interrupt others and to remember to give people a chance to speak too. Because our minds are filled with hundreds of times more content and random ideas that we get so much pleasure from sharing that it’s hard to keep it all contained.

    I was raised to be negative and stressed and pessimistic as though these attitudes were protective against the disappointments and pain in life. Because events usually roll out better than my worried self expected, I am often “pleasantly surprised” by my failed expectations of disaster. It’s such a deep habit. And a bad habit - I am just learning now how to be stress free and enjoy every moment - I want to keep reprogramming myself to live with joyful expectation.

    I’m 2/3 through Dr. Ellen’s book and I’m loving it! I’m in my 69th year and have a high level of energy like Ellen which can exhaust people. 😆 I was raised to believe what my mom used to call “mind over matter“. When my son was little he asked me if Santa Claus was real… his friends teased him because he believed. I asked him “what do you want to believe?” He said “that Santa is real.” I told him, “ then for you he is.” He’s 27 and still loves Christmas. Ellen’s story about tracking drinking works great for smoking. Rate and track every cigarette you smoke and you’ll find you enjoy fewer than you think. There is a woman that lives in a board and care home with my 85-year-old stepdad. She has dementia but she’s lovely, expressive and never stops talking. I get a sense that she knows what she wants to say but struggles with remembering how to put together words to make a cohesive thought. We call it dementia and we believe we know what is going on in these peoples’ brains. What if were wrong? I have so many personal stories like Ellens about the Harvard club experience. Things like that happen to me continuously. I no longer question it. I accept it as the possibility that everyone can experience the same thing. Thank you Rich for this fascinating conversation!

    Amazing! As a recovered alcoholic, I became curious several years ago about why I no longer craved alcohol and hadn't since a short stint in rehab. So many people with "time" talk about sudden or lingering cravings and I began to ask myself if I was just not paying attention to my body's signals early enough. It started with simply imagining taking a stiff drink and being fully conscious, by memory, of how that tasted and felt, not unlike the way Buddhism suggests practicing mindfulness to stop bad habits. Afterward and since, I found I had no craving and the reliving of sensation did not trigger me. It had the opposite effect. Certainty that I still did not want a drink. Not quite repulsion (aggressive, rejecting) but clarity. So reassuring and such a gift of trust in the body.

    This is a good reflection of when I let myself go full ADHD when talking to someone without ADHD. It’s seriously like an excited puppy trying to interact with a turtle. (Not saying Rich is slow, and I think he was so enthralled with what she was sharing that he was probably holding back and enjoying just taking a lot of it in.) When I do this with someone else with ADHD, then it’s like two fireballs doing a random but somehow synchronised dance, and we can carry on multiple streams of conversation topics at the same time and keep up with the random tangents our mind takes us. When I do this with my no or less ADHD partner, he gets completely dumbfounded then experiences a human version of blue screening 😆

    Ok, I'm having way too much fun watching this... As a cashier in a fairly large grocery during covid, I began to play with my attitude toward certain people. Relaxing or leaning in more with those I found irritating or downright maddening. Of course my days were much more pleasant but also I never did pick up or rather show symptoms of the virus. Once we took down the plexiglass barriers from most areas, I finally got it. Initially I thought this was just more evidence that it's an air borne virus but now, even though I wasn't particularly consciously worried by it my subconscious mental landscape and attitude may have had other ideas. Being concerned or stressed over a longer than needed time will confuse and divert the immune system, using up energy on thoughts which are not real anyway, instead of on regulating and protecting the physical. Love this over breakfast. 🙏

    Me too. Remember how the world applauded us because we showed up for work? I truly believe that the positivity of being there at the counter and smiling and leaning in did contribute to some sense of normalcy and helped the health and wellbeing of my community.

    Proof to me how powerful the mind is, whenever I see someone smoking a cigarette on tv, suddenly I can smell the cigarette smoke and it actually starts to burn in my nose. This amazes me every time! What the heck?! I am currently dealing with spine and back pain problems and the pain clinic doctor says it's arthritic. He also told me that anxiety, stress, and fear exacerbates the pain. The pain is unbearable at times and I am reduced to tears because often I am unable to sleep in a bed and wonder what is to become of me. I try to take in what the doctor said and other information stating that the body adjusts itself and when I really think on it and try to infuse it into my being in the whole mindfulness thing, I actually start to get snippets of feeling better. Then I wonder, "Did that just happen?" I'm trying to move forward with a sense of hopefulness because otherwise my mind goes to a very dark place and I do not want to live in this body anymore. A rollercoaster of emotions on a daily basis. These teachings inspire hope because hope is all I have.

    In case it helps, Sandra Rolus has a guided meditation that covers the whole body in about 2 hours. You are sort of repairing it or visualising it as working properly. Also Marisa Peer has a video taking a vortex of energy through the body. They also have meditations to clear trauma in case you have any trapped in your body. These really help me and they are free on YT. Might be worth a try. Best wishes.

    She’s exactly right about that. When my husband was fighting leukemia, he was always anxious about the next bone marrow biopsy that creates a lot of stress and anxiety in the body that’s trying to heal itself so making a patient wait five years to feel at peace with their medical status is extremely detrimental. I witnessed that firsthand.

    I really enjoyed this conversation Rich. I had never heard of her. I will definitely pick up her book. Such an interesting mind and way to look at things. Her energy is infectious. The part of the conversation where she talked about not being able to make predictions about outcomes was particularly enlightening. I liked when she said, "rather than waste your time being stressed over making the right decision, make the decision right, randomly choose." The serendipity of my coming across this conversation at a time where I'm experiencing major life changes and have been having self doubt is not lost on me.

    This is one of my all time favorite episodes, Rich. I bought Dr. Langer's book as soon as I finished listening and I will most definitely be integrating her mindful approach into my daily practices. I felt like her work and attitudes dovetail beautifully with Lisa Feldman Barrett's work on the theory of constructed emotions and experiences, along with the sage wisdom of Robert Greene. I became an instant fan of Dr. Langer and could listen to her over and over. Great conversation -- huge impact.
