What went well today? Write down three good things that happened today, and reflect on why they happened. It might seem too simple, but this positive psychology practice, developed by Dr. Martin Seligman, is an evidence-based way of enhancing wellbeing. <br /><br />Watch the full video here: https://youtube.com/live/jue-UA_McEc?feature=share<br />--<br />#GratitudeJournaling<br />#TransformativeGratitude<br />#DailyThankfulness<br />#ThreeGoodThings<br />#GratefulLiving<br />#GratitudePractice<br />#WellnessThroughGratitude<br />#PositiveMindset<br />#AppreciateTheGood<br />#HappinessBoost<br />#ResilientLife<br />#GratitudeMatters<br />#ThankfulHeart<br />#GratitudeEveryday<br />#CountYourBlessings<br />#GratitudeChangesLives<br />#ThankfulMoments<br />#GratefulnessJourney<br />#GratitudeMindset<br />#EmbraceGratitude<br />--<br />Please support this channel by signing up for Sense of Mind's Patreon and get bonus content every month: https://www.patreon.com/senseofmind <br />You'll get: <br />- Access to exclusive monthly livestreams<br />- Written (blog post) versions of all new videos, including this one!<br /><br />--<br />Don't forget to subscribe to this channel: @senseofmindshow <br />And check out the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sense-of-mind/id1603691298<br />Patreon link: https://www.patreon.com/senseofmind<br />Follow Sense of Mind on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sense.ofmind/<br />--<br />All graphics and images obtained from scientific articles have been credited in the video and/or in the above list of references.

Probably the most important question we can ask is “how can I be happier?” Some people might find this question overly self-centered, but becoming happier is not only good for us, but everyone we come into contact with as well. Others, while agreeing that individual happiness is important, may nevertheless think it is impossible to be any happier than one’s genes or childhood determine. That is a myth. In fact, over the last fifty years, an entire field of psychological science (and more recently, neuroscience) has been created in order to understand and maximize individual human flourishing—positive psychology. <br /><br />Support The Social Brain on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thesocialbrain <br /><br />In this episode, we will focus on some of the science behind positive psychology, but we will spend a lot of the time talking about how you can use this knowledge to create more happiness for yourself. We will also talk about some of the emerging neuroscientific literature, but we will go much deeper into this topic on a future episode.<br /><br />--<br />Related Content:<br /><br />--<br />Don't forget to subscribe to this channel: @senseofmindshow <br />And check out the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sense-of-mind/id1603691298<br />Patreon link: www.patreon.com/senseofmind <br />Follow Sense of Mind on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sense.ofmind/
While recovery from stroke may not always be a full return to previous abilities, the brain can rewire and form new neural connections to help compensate for the lost function. 🙌🌟<br /><br />With the right rehabilitation and therapy, stroke survivors can work to retrain their brains and restore as much function as possible. 💛👍<br /><br />Let's embrace the power of neuroplasticity and support stroke survivors on their road to healing and a fulfilling life. 💪👏<br /><br />#neuroplasticity #strokeawareness #strokeprevention #stroke #strokeeducation #brainrehabilitation #braintraining #brainrecovery #brainpower #nevergiveup #neuroscience #brainhealth #neuralconnections #strokeprevention #strokecare #brainplasticity #hope #support #strokecommunity #strokeawarenessmonth #survivor #recoveryjourney<br />--<br />Please support this channel by signing up for Sense of Mind's Patreon for bonus content every month: www.patreon.com/senseofmind .

Caffeine is an amazing molecule, but since about 90% of us drink it on a regular basis, I probably don’t have to tell you that! 🧠☕️✨<br /><br />In the brain, caffeine sets itself apart from other stimulants by making dopamine receptors more sensitive, without directly binding to them. <br /><br />Unlock the secret to how caffeine enhances dopamine signaling and keeps us alert and focused by checking out the full video.<br /><br />–<br />#neuroscience #caffeine #dopamine #stimulant #brainhealth #neurons #coffee #psychology #science #biology #neurology #mentalhealth #cognitivefunction #alertness #focus #brainpower #biochemistry #learning #neurotransmitters #brainchemistry #brainfacts<br /><br /><br />--<br />Please support this channel by signing up for Sense of Mind's Patreon and get bonus content every month: https://www.patreon.com/senseofmind <br />You'll get: <br />- Access to exclusive monthly livestreams<br />- Written (blog post) versions of all new videos, including this one!<br /><br />--<br />Don't forget to subscribe to this channel: @senseofmindshow <br />And check out the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sense-of-mind/id1603691298<br />Patreon link: https://www.patreon.com/senseofmind<br />Follow Sense of Mind on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sense.ofmind/<br />--<br />All graphics and images obtained from scientific articles have been credited in the video and/or in the above list of references.

Did you know that our brains are wired to learn faster during childhood? It's all thanks to neuroplasticity! 🧠👶<br /><br />Studies have shown that during critical periods in childhood development, our brains are more malleable and adaptable to new experiences. This is why children can learn languages much faster than adults! 🌟🗣️<br /><br />By exposing children to different languages and cultures early on, we can help them take advantage of this natural ability to learn and grow. 💪🌎<br /><br />So let's give our little ones the gift of language and cultural diversity, and watch their brains thrive! 🎁👦👧<br /><br />#neuroplasticity #childdevelopment #earlylearning #braindevelopment #languages #bilingualism #culturaldiversity #multilingual #brainpower #education #learning #childhoodmemories #criticalperiod #neuroscience #brainhealth #brainboost #cognitivegrowth #parenting #raisingkids #kidseducation #brainadaptability<br />--<br />Please support this channel by signing up for Sense of Mind's Patreon for bonus content every month: www.patreon.com/senseofmind .
