MSNBC· 2025-07-08 06:25
This Trump presidency wants to be seen as fearsome, right. They want to be seen as powerful and scary. They want people to be afraid of them.But what they really are in equal measure is awful and weird. And it's worth being afraid of that because it's weird and awful and scary to have somebody that weird and awful in charge of the federal government. But it's not fearsome in the way they mean it to be. It's fearsome in the sense of like, oh my god, these people are in charge of what.I mean, Trump really did ...

Why Positive Thinking Doesn’t Work | Anat Peri | TEDxWesternU
TEDx Talks· 2025-07-03 16:42
Core Argument - The central idea revolves around the importance of fully experiencing emotions rather than suppressing them, suggesting that emotional granularity is key to emotional health [7] - The report challenges the conventional advice of "thinking positive" and advocates for allowing oneself to feel emotions fully for a short period, around 90 seconds, to process them effectively [6][8] Emotional Processing - Suppressing emotions can trigger the nervous system's threat response, leading to reactions like fighting, fleeing, freezing, or people-pleasing [5] - Allowing oneself to fully feel an emotion without resistance enables the body to process it in approximately 90 seconds, as suggested by neuroscientist Dr Jill Bolt Taylor [8] - A study in the Journal of Personality highlights that emotional granularity, the ability to accurately label emotions, is crucial for emotional well-being [7] Practical Application - The report introduces a three-step process for working with emotions: identifying specific emotions using tools like Yale University's mood meter, observing physical sensations associated with the emotion, and allowing the emotion to take center stage for 90 seconds [19][20][21][22] - By engaging the logical part of the brain and shifting focus to the physical presence of emotions, individuals can move from reactivity to calm, signaling safety to the nervous system [21] - The process aims to train the nervous system to become more familiar with emotions, reducing the likelihood of perceiving them as threats in the future [22][23]
