Anger: Fast and Furious! © 23 July 2011 by John Sovec, MA, LMFT A recent experience reminded me of the power of paying attention to the challenges that present themselves in our daily lives. I was on my way to the store, going over my grocery list in my mind as I drove. As I pulled into the busy parking lot, I saw a space and pulled in to park.

Be positive and age with grace LONDON: Aging successfully has been linked with a preference for positive, emotionally gratifying experiences. German scientists studied this effect by using neuro imaging to evaluate brain engagement in young and old adults while they performed a specialized task that included supposedly irrelevant pictures of either neutral, happy, sad or fearful faces. During parts of the task when they did not have to pay as much attention, the elderly subjects were significantly more distracted by the happy faces, according to a University Medical Centre statement. When this occurred, they had increased engagement in the part of the brain that helps control emotions. "The lessons of healthy aging seem to be similar to those of resilience, throughout life," noted John H. Krystal, editor of Biological Psychiatry .
