This week's guest has spent over 50 years conducting ground-breaking research showing that your thoughts have a profound impact on your body. Dr Ellen J. Langer is Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, and widely known as the 'mother of mindfulness'. She is the recipient of three Distinguished Scientists awards and the author of twelve books, including her very latest, The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health. In our conversation, we discuss how our mindsets directly affect our physical health, why much of what we attribute to ageing may actually be a consequence of our beliefs and the real meaning of mindfulness. We also explore whether as a society, we need to rethink the concept of work-life balance, with Ellen suggesting that we should instead focus on "work-life integration," where we find interest and joy in whatever we're doing. She also shares a powerful technique that has helped many patients with long term conditions like MS, Parkinson's and chronic pain and she outlines a refreshing approach to decision making: instead of trying to make the "right" decision, we should choose and then "make the decision right". This is a powerful conversation that reminds all of us that we have a lot more control over our wellbeing than we might initially think. Ellen is a wonderful human, full of knowledge, expertise and passion - and the ideas she shares have the power to transform your health, longevity and happiness.   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

Ellen J. Langer is a Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. She is also the author of several books, including The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health, Mindfulness, Counterclockwise: Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility, and The Power of Mindful Learning.Ellen and Greg discuss the profound influence of mindfulness on decision-making and work-life balance, while challenging the illusions of control, certainty, and predictability. Ellen also breaks down the extraordinary world of placebos, illustrating how mindfulness can have a placebo-like effect on health, and how our beliefs and thoughts can significantly impact our physical health. They also talk about mindfulness in education and healthcare, underscoring its invaluable benefits for patients, doctors, and individuals in general.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:On the importance of showing-up07:34: If you're going to do something, you should show up for it. And when you do show up for it, everything is better. So as you're actively noticing, you look alive. People find you more attractive. When you're being mindful, people see you as charismatic, authentic, and certainly attractive. Not only that, it makes you healthier, it's fun, and people are going to find you more appealing, but it actually leaves its imprint in the things that we do. They're just better. So if you're painting, playing a musical instrument, writing a report, no matter what you're doing, if you show up for the activity, you're going to produce something better. To my mind, there's no reason, once people truly understand what this work is about, that you would not try to change your ways in some sense and be mindful virtually all the time.Mindfulness is a way of being03:24: People need to understand that mindfulness has nothing to do with meditation. Meditation is not about mindfulness. Meditation is a practice you engage in to result in post-meditative mindfulness. Mindfulness, as we study it, is immediate. And it's not a practice. It's a way of being.Why is going from being mindless to mindful is hard?24:31: Going from being mindless to mindful is hard because when you're not there, you're not there to know you're not there. So that's why the instruction is, "Stop and smell the roses and be in the present." It's sweet but empty because when you're not there, you don't know that you're not there. So you can't fix it, but if you were to throw yourself into some new activity without worrying about being evaluated, and you feel how good it feels to be totally engaged, then just don't accept anything less than that.On being mindful of shifting point of view11:48: When people are mindless, they're more or less acting like automatons. And when you're mindful, you have a general sense of what you want to do. You can have goals and routines, but they're guiding what you're doing. They're not overly determining what you're doing. So I say to my students, "Okay, let's say, on your way to class today, you run into Michelle Obama. And she takes such a liking to you for who knows what reason. And she says, 'Do you want to go have a cup of coffee?'" It would be crazy for you to say, "No, I have to go to class." All right, but I think mindlessly, especially the A students, that's just what they would do, rather than say, "Well, circumstances now are so unusual, I should take advantage of it." And so when you're mindful because you're there, you get to take advantage of opportunities to which you'd otherwise be blind, and you avoid the danger that has not yet arisen.Show Links:Recommended Resources:SocratesEpictetusPrimingThe Counterclockwise StudyFrank A.

In our latest episode award-winning social psychologist Ellen J. Langer joins Dr. Greg Kelly to discuss negative mindsets and the healing power of its mindfulness—the process of active noticing where we are not bound by past experience or conventional wisdom. Dr. Langer narrates fascinating studies that demonstrate how mindset can dramatically impact physical health. And we dive deep into the 'borderline effect' in medical diagnoses and the variability in human conditions, revealing that much of what we accept as fixed may in fact be changeable through mindful attention.

Mindfulness is the natural human ability to be completely present, fully aware of our location and actions, and not excessively reactive or overwhelmed by what's happening around us.  We all understand mindfulness can result in better mental health, but it can be challenging with the distractions of modern life. The human mind tends to wander and frequently gets lost in thoughts about the past or future, making it hard to stay present. If you think practising mindfulness must involve being in a meditative state and include an activity such as breathwork, journaling or the raisin exercise (one of the most basic and widely used mindfulness methods which involves focussing your attention on each of your senses as you eat a raisin), today's prestigious guest disagrees.  Ellen J. Langer is a distinguished professor of psychology at Harvard University. In 1981, she made history as the first woman to receive tenure in psychology at Harvard. Ellen's lifetime of expertise and trailblazing research in the field of mindfulness focuses on the psychology of control, decision making, ageing, and mindfulness theory; which has led to numerous academic honours. Ellen J. Langer is the author of eleven books, including the international bestseller 'Mindfulness', which has been translated into fifteen languages, and 'Counterclockwise: Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility'. Most recently, she is the author of 'The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health' which delves into the transformative potential of mindfulness for improving health. Dr. Ellen is also the author of more than 200 research articles and her revolutionary experiments in social psychology have earned her inclusion in The New York Times Magazine's 'Year in Ideas' issue.  Ellen believes through her findings “we're typically trying to solve today's problems with yesterday's solution” and “most of us are mindless, most of the time”. Meaning the limits we assume are real - are artificial - and that we don't have to accept them at all. Talking to Gabby Sanderson, host of The Happier Life Project, Ellen shares the results of some of her groundbreaking studies. Demonstrating the power the mind has on the body and how what we believe, can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Especially when it comes to our health and happiness. The renowned ‘mother of mindfulness' explains why we must pay attention to context and variability, and not necessarily accept ‘the rule' to anything. She also talks about how we can wake up and overcome mental laziness, therefore not succumbing to outcomes we are led to presume must be the one and only truth. Such as becoming more forgetful as we get older, or being unable to do something because of (insert belief)… As Ellen says in this conversation, “one plus one does not always equal two”.  So can we really defy the ageing process, or at least slow it down, just by just harnessing the power of belief? Can we think ourself more toned and fit, and even lose weight, by simply believing it?! Ellen's research and studies conclude the answer is yes. If we embrace the idea of mind-body unity, new possibilities for controlling our health become available to us.  To download the My Possible Self App: https://mypossibleself.app.link/podcast To follow My Possible Self on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mypossibleself For more information on Ellen J.

How can mindfulness improve our mind and body wellness? And how do our thoughts impact the body? In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, we speak with Dr. Ellen Langer to learn what four decades of mindfulness research has taught her about the relationship between mental attitude and physical health.“If we see mind and body as a single unit, then wherever you're putting the mind, you're necessarily putting the body, which gives us enormous control over our health.” – Dr. Langer Further Readings:The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health, by Ellen J. Langer

No novo episódio da nossa série sobre #metacrise eu e Sean tivemos a honra de receber Ellen J Langer, psicóloga e professora em Harvard, reconhecida como a 'mãe' do mindfulness, com mais de 45 anos dedicados à pesquisa nessa área. Uau!! Com o lançamento do seu novo livro, ‘The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Lasting Health', Ellen nos relata que grande parte da sociedade não está de forma presente e consciente na vida, que fragmentamos corpo, mente e espírito e que isso nos leva a um desgaste interno gigante, tal qual parafraseando Ellen no episódio “o estresse é principal motivador do desenvolvimento ou da piora de doenças mentais e de possíveis mortes por esgotamento.” Talvez seja por isso que eu ache esse episódio tão importante: chamar a atenção das pessoas para olharem para si, se auto observarem e se desenvolverem, e irem em busca de estarem mais presentes, momento a momento. E não só, mas estarem mais criativos para lidar com as incertezas da vida e numa posição de aprendiz para perceber as diversas respostas que estão a nossa volta. Se você deseja aprender como criar essa conexão entre mente e corpo e aprimorar sua qualidade de vida, este episódio está repleto de dicas e descobertas científicas importantes que Ellen nos ilustra com seus estudos. Além do episódio, recomendo vivamente a leitura do livro da Ellen e vamos juntos praticar e cultivar maior consciência e estado de presença!

Mindfulness (without meditation), on the other hand, has been shown to be literally and figuratively enlivening, and results in health, well-being, improved relationships, and Dr. Ellen Langer has been studying the mindlessness of ostensibly thoughtful action for over forty years, from everyday situations, to nursing homes, schools, and business, and has found that mindlessness is both pervasive and unnoticed. She has also proposed and tested an alternative cognitive process that she has shown to be relevant across multiple domains. She has termed this process “mindfulness,” but it should not be confused with meditation.===WEBSITE:https://www.ellenlanger.me/===BOOKS:THE MINDFUL BODY: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/705365/the-mindful-body-by-ellen-j-langer/===SOCIAL MEDIA:X former Twitter; https://twitter.com/ellenjlINSTA; https://www.instagram.com/ellenjlanger/FACEBOOK; https://www.facebook.com/ellen.langer

In this episode, I join Ellen Langer for a discussion about mindful living and the ways it can impact health and wellbeing. We dive deep into the power of placebos, and how mindfulness can transform our relationships with others. From decision-making to healing and personal growth, we explore the ways a healthy mindset can counter the aging process. We also discuss the importance of prioritizing happiness over all else, and the strength it takes to live a full and exciting life.  Ellen J.

Health challenges can lead to a negative mindset and pessimistic outlook. In her new book, The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health, award-winning social psychologist Ellen J. Langer challenges that mindset and lays out a compelling and practical alternative perspective based on her decades of research. Her theory of mind-body unity and her work on mindfulness, the practice of active noticing in day-to-day life, illuminate how to embrace a different approach that can have a significant impact on well-being.

Brooks ___________________________ Wise Quotes On Taking Up Painting, and Rules & Playfulness "It's been great fun for me. I wasn't limited by rules because I didn't know what the rules were. I didn't even know there were rules. I just did it. And so it was a mindful adventure. Anything can be engaged that way. If you're going to cook and stick religiously to the recipe, it's not nearly as much fun as, Oh my gosh, I don't have any sugar. That means I can't make it. Or what could I substitute it with? I don't have any cream. Should I use yogurt?  You don't have to be a genius in the kitchen. And part of it is just to go back to the way you and I claim to be, that you have to be lighthearted. You should take what you do seriously, but not take yourselves too seriously. So if I'm painting, why should I expect it to be a masterpiece? And so if I put aside the mindless evaluation, it's much easier to do it. And if you're cooking, if you don't believe this is the last meal you're ever going to eat or that everybody is going to evaluate you based on how good the meal is, then it's easy to play around. I actually believe that we should bring that playfulness to everything that we do." On Stress and Mind-Body Unity "I actually think stress is the major killer over and above genetics, diet - over and above everything. And stress is a psychological concept. Now, way back when, the medical world thought that Psychology was important maybe on how to be happy, who knows? But it had nothing to do with health. People don't believe that anymore. Now they know that there's a relationship between stress and health. I don't think anybody goes quite as far as I do. People talk about the Mind-Body connection. They're not connected. It's one thing. And that gives us far more control over our health." On Mindful Contagion "Now there's a simple understanding of mindful contagion.

It's a common belief that we must live with ailments and declining well-being as we age. But this week's guest, Dr. Ellen J. Langer, has decades of research that tells a different story. Known as the mother of mindfulness, Ellen is highly regarded as one of America's most influential psychologists. Her new book, The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health, shows how our thoughts and perspectives can change our health. In this episode, you'll learn: Why embracing mind-body unity creates new possibilities for improving our health. How our thoughts could be undermining our health. Simple ways to change your way of thinking to improve your health.

On the Leading Learning Podcast, sometimes we get to talk with someone whose thinking and research have deeply influenced our work and lives. Such is the case with Ellen J. Langer, AKA the mother of mindfulness. Dr. Langer was the first woman to be tenured in psychology at Harvard, where she is still professor of psychology. The recipient of three Distinguished Scientists awards, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Liberty Science Genius Award, Dr. Langer wrote the international bestseller Mindfulness, as well as The Power of Mindful Learning, Counterclockwise, On Becoming an Artist, and, most recently, The Mindful Body.

They also discuss mindful contagion and how our perception (of time, of ability) changes what we're capable of.  Show notes and a downloadable transcript are available at https://www.leadinglearning.com/episode373.

Langer makes the following observation.“In the 1970s, as social psychology was experiencing what was called ‘the cognitive revolution,' studying the kinds of thoughts people were having, I began to wonder whether people were thinking at all. Decades of research later, I have found that the answer is a resounding 'NO.'  Mindlessness is pervasive. In fact I believe virtually all of our problems - personal, interpersonal, professional, and societal - either directly or indirectly stem from mindlessness.”Mindlessness is just as prevalent today, in 2023, as it was 50 years ago. What can we do about it? In this podcast I review Langer's prescription for overcoming mindfulness and learning to think more mindfully. Support the showSupport our work to promote creative aging.

Are you someone who believes that in order to workout you need to sweat within an inch of your life?!  That you need to workout for 45 minutes or more in order for it to count? As life became progressively more stressful, or just plain blessed and busy, did the idea of a sweaty 45 minute workout make you cringe? You slowly avoided these workouts and now you are barely working out at all and feeling lost in your fitness goals or just forgot about them all together? In a very frenetic time of life trying to workout like we used to or the way we see others exercising may not be sustainable, or desirable. In fact, the workouts we think we need to do may not meet your goals in this very moment. But what is this moment? What does it look like? And how do we get from point A to B if we are only reflecting on past failures, what we think working out looks like, or allowing our stressors to hold us back?  Based off a recent client and listener question we dive into these questions today. We delve deeper into the “Mind-set matters: exercise and the placebo effect” study conducted by Alia J. Crum and Ellen J. Langer mentioned in Episode 18 with High Performance Coach, Michael Crandall. This study serves the purpose of providing scientific context to the theory, if we change our perspective on what exercise looks like we will ultimately become more active and this activity offsets other healthy lifestyle factors.  I believe you'll listen in to this episode and feel encouraged to add a little flavor into your every day activities.

Can You Learn to Be Happy?YES . . . according to the teacher of Harvard University's most popular and life-changing course. One out of every five Harvard students has lined up to hear Tal Ben-Shahar's insightful and inspiring lectures on that ever-elusive state: HAPPINESS.HOW?Grounded in the revolutionary "positive psychology" movement, Ben-Shahar ingeniously combines scientific studies, scholarly research, self-help advice, and spiritual enlightenment. He weaves them together into a set of principles that you can apply to your daily life. Once you open your heart and mind to Happier 's thoughts, you will feel more fulfilled, more connected . . . and, yes, HAPPIER."Dr. Ben-Shahar, one of the most popular teachers in Harvard's recent history, has written a personal, informed, and highly enjoyable primer on how to become happier. It would be wise to take his advice."--Ellen J. Langer, author of "Mindfulness" and "On Becoming an Artist""This fine book shimmers with a rare brand of good sense that is imbedded in scientific knowledge about how to increase happiness. It is easy to see how this is the backbone of the most popular course at Harvard today."--Martin E. P. Seligman, author of "Authentic Happiness"

Ellen J. Langer es una profesora estadounidense de psicología en la Universidad de Harvard. En 1981 se convirtió en la primera mujer en ocupar un puesto titular en el departamento de psicología de la misma universidad. Langer estudia la ilusión del control, la toma de decisiones, el envejecimiento y la teoría de la atención plena.

Today we get very mindful about aligning our thoughts, feelings, words and actions with our next level of success, happiness, or some other form of expansion or change.I know you'll already be very familiar with setting intentions, being conscious of the choices you're making and trying to be present and mindful. Ellen J Langer's Mindfulness research tells us that being mindful about the way we do things makes a BIG difference to outcomes.

Does mindset matter? If you THINK you are healthy, could that possibly make you actually become healthier? How much do positive and affirmative beliefs about your own lifestyle and health actually impact your overall health? . In this study, women lost weight, body fat, and lowered their blood pressure just from being educated that they were already doing a good job being active. They weren't asked to change anything. They didn't do additional exercise, they didn't change their diet. They were just given some reassurance, and they lost weight and improved several markers of overall health. . What are the implications of this? Comment below and tell us why this would matter to YOU! . Citation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17425538 . Crum, Alia J., and Ellen J. Langer. 2007.

Aging may be inevitable, but holding a negative stereotype about it is not. Research from Harvard psychologist Ellen J. Langer shows that we can actually turn the clock back in surprising ways through shifts in our expectations. Here’s a non-affiliate link to Langer’s book on mindful health.

In our culture, curiosity isn’t always viewed as a good thing. After all, it’s “what killed the cat.” So why then does Jesus seemingly encourage curiosity rather than simply accepting what we’re told, especially when it comes to some of life’s most hard-to-answer questions? Join Rick as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into Matthew 13, we’ll look at two parables Jesus uses to show the important role curiosity plays in providing the answers we so desperately crave. Have you joined the Pigs? We’re a group of friends ready to go all-in with Jesus—to live a life that’s “free indeed” because we’re wholly dependent on him. Join us for exclusive behind-the-scenes insights, opportunities to make your voice matter, prayer support, and connections to other Pigs inside our private Facebook group.

Several years ago, I learned about mindfulness the hard way. I was eating a cardiologist recommended diet that apparently wasn’t working for me and I failed to pay attention to any of the warning signs. The first person to draw attention to my mindlessness was the woman who is now my wife and co-founder at NBT. Only recently did I discover the decades of careful research on the simple practice of noticing, and how that can be both good for you and fun. My guest this week is Dr Ellen Langer, PhD, a social psychologist and the first female professor to gain tenure in the Psychology Department at Harvard University. She is the author of eleven books and more than two hundred research articles written for general and academic readers on mindfulness for over 35 years. Her best-selling books include Mindfulness; The Power of Mindful Learning; On Becoming an Artist: Reinventing Yourself Through Mindful Creativity; and Counterclockwise: Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility.
