Supressing negative thoughts is impossible; replacing them is a practical strategy

I’ve found a couple of Dr. Breuning’s strategies particularly useful for modulation of my neurochemistry. One is the elevation of serotonin by replacing negative thoughts rather than pursuing the impossible goal of their suppression. The other is the art of visualizing of what you want to achieve in order to elevate dopamine levels. The Inner Mammal Institute ties evolutionary psychology in with modern neuroscience in a way that is extremely engaging. Every article is full of practical strategies that one can immediately apply to overcome the tyranny of our primitive reptilian complexes and limbic systems.
