The features are available online at http://www.aplanforliving.com/features "I am most passionate about discussing how mindfulness, gratitude, and spirituality have had a significant impact on the management and coping skills of my life, my diagnosis of bipolar disorder and the battling of addiction." Michael teaches 4 principles: 1) Waking up every day and starting with the right question is essential - How happy are you? 2) Creating gratitude and spiritual lists will help re-wire your brain and to help you down regulate your emotions. 3) Mindfulness can be practiced anywhere. 4) Happiness is a choice - and it cannot be taken away - only given away. Practicing points 1, 2 and 3 help remind me of that fact daily. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If this episode made a difference in your life please leave me a tip in the virtual tip jar by giving my podcast a great rating and review in iTunes! http://bit.ly/learntruehealth-itunes Thank you!
