Improving Outlook and Objects of Thought

We check in with each other about our experiments improving the Outlook (overall positive and negative emotion) dimension from Davidson’s The Emotional Life of your Brain. We both find, despite our only having invested several minutes’ time over the course of the week, that the results are impressive.  I talk about coupling those experiments with CBT ones for social anxiety.  I then read a near-quote from Rousseau’s Emile linking morality with habit and mental objects, and we talk about habit building and character-forming.  Finally, we end talking about the inspiration of certain images from art for thoughts of heaven (her) and feelings of earth (for me).
