Is it Time for a Mental Do-Over?

Dr Daniel & Tana Amen
About this episode

An important lesson 2020 has taught us is that when things don't go the way you planned, how you react can drastically shape your mental well-being. One of the best ways to react to the adversities in your life is to simply perform a mental do-over and start fresh. In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Daniel and Tana Amen discuss when and how to wipe the brain's slate clean and start over, giving you a better chance for a better tomorrow.
