"Your brain will do what you ask of it" states David Rakel, Director of the University of Wisconsin Integrative Medicine Programme. Instead of multi-tasking, he suggests taking a few minutes every day to focus on one positive thought, like the word "happy". Doing so, he explains, creates new neurological networks in your brain and helps you feel happy and compassionate more easily. On the contrary, focusing on angry thoughts can create networks that make you feel more negative about life, more often.
