Marisa Peer: Your BRAIN Doesn't CARE About Happiness

Evan Carmichael

It was November 11, 2017, the final fall home game at Harvard coincided with the coldest day of the fall. It was going to be 40 degrees by the time the men's soccer game started. My Saturday had already began, bright and early, shooting both men's and women's swimming and diving team photos before their first meet. I come back to office, take the SD card out of the camera, put the camera back and head to my desk. Tim's in his office and he mentions how cold it is out. I reply back with "coldness is state of mind." 

Yes it was freakin' cold outside, but you're only as cold as how you feel. You can make your mind believe that you are not as cold as you believe. You may not be hot, but you won't be freezing either. It's a mental game.
