There is no "magic pill" for your brain. It is part of a whole ecosystem that includes your body and all your surroundings—that means the artificial flavors, dyes and additives in your favorite junk food and the chemicals in the hair spray you just inhaled.

When you sleep, your body repairs and restores itself. Studies have shown that poor or interrupted sleep slows down healing and has a negative effect on body systems.
How can I improve my sleep quality?
Slow down: create a routine for winding down at the end of your day. This might include sipping herbal tea, doing a calming meditation or breathing exercise, stretching gently, or curling up in bed with a book.
Turn off: power down your electronic devices at least an hour before bed. The blue light from your...
Most people have only a hazy idea of how to motivate themselves. Getting ourselves to do something we know we want to do — a big project, exercise, etc. — can be really hard.
But actually, the way motivation works is pretty straightforward physics. We’re talking about things like force and inertia, not quantum mechanics.
Let’s take a look at how motivation works, so we can understand how to put it into effect.
Inertia vs. Energy
The first thing to understand is that there’s always an initial hurdle to overcome when you want to get started (or...
Creating a new habit like meditation, journaling or exercise isn’t incredibly complicated — at the most basic level, you tie the habit to a trigger that’s already in your life, start small, and find ways to encourage yourself to remember it and actually do it.
But it becomes a much more complicated and much messier ordeal because:
We have resistance;
We give in to the resistance;
We feel bad about ourselves as a result; and
We make that meaningful, get discouraged, and let that derail us.
Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.
We are very pleased to bring this latest transmission. We are aware of the requests that you make, and that is why there are so many synchronicities happening for all of you who are receiving these transmissions. We tune in to you as a collective and as individuals, and we notice what you are wondering about. It is important for you to do this with yourselves as well. Having regular check-ins with your chakras,...
Your world might appear upside down. What you once thought is no more, and you cannot yet feel or sometimes even see the future. Will governments fall? Will illness dominate the world forever? Has your world become so small you cannot remember how you once felt about much of anything?
Such is so because you are in a void of sorts. You are between two worlds, neither of which has fully claimed you. Your outer world is in chaos, and your inner...
What if I told you that there are ways to relax and improve your intelligence at the same time?
Hopefully, all of you are doing some sports to be in good shape and feel better. However, not all people pay as much attention to stretching their brain even though it is also extremely important. Your brain needs constant care and exercises to keep up the good work and generate healthy ideas.
However, boosting your creativity and exercising your brain is not all about hard work. Sometimes, all...
There are many symptoms of cognitive decline which show that your brain is actually slowing down. It can happen at any age or for any number of reasons.
Determining whether your brain is functioning properly or not might be a bit confusing, but you should pay attention to certain kinds of situations. For instance, you may find it hard to understand new technology and gizmos even though you may have been considered a “techie” in the past. Also, you may find people talking to you...
If you want to learn how to become happier, the following science-backed methods will help you a lot.
One of the theories in the field of psychology claims that all people have a “starting point” of happiness, which defines their wellness. All our life revolves around it and the fact if we feel more or less happy depends on what is happening in our daily lives. But we can “reboot” our minds.
While the world may or may not be in worse trouble than...
Mental blocks are stressful and sometimes painful things to experience and quite hard to overcome. When you have a mental block, your own brain is preventing the recall of memories or your ability to understand something.
Remember your school days. Did you ever feel like no matter how many times the teacher explained something, you just couldn’t get it into your mind? What about trying to recall information you previously knew, but now can’t seem to find the memory in your brain at all? These are both examples of mental blocks. Writer’s block is also a type of mental block...
People seem lonely and depressed even more so than in past times. Can science help us understand why?
Depression has always been a melancholy friend, but it didn’t seem to take as much precedent then as it does today. Loneliness and depression seem to be in every household now, leading to feelings of hopelessness and even attempts of suicide. So, why is it so much worse than before?
As I look around my home and surroundings, it’s hard to believe I could be part of simulation theory. But, of course, anything is possible, right?
You don’t have to be suffering from clinical depression to experience a depressive episode. If you have been going through unsettling emotional lows, then this article is just right for you.

What is a depressive episode?
A major depressive episode is a duration in which a person suffers from a depressed mood or a deep unwavering sadness. It is most often characterized by feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, worthlessness, guilt, and irritability....
New research by the University at Buffalo Research Institute on Addictions has identified a key mechanism in how exercise can help impact the brain in ways that may support treatment — and even prevention strategies — for addiction.
Scientists in Britain previously found that just five minutes of brisk walking can alleviate withdrawal symptoms caused from giving up smoking. They believe that exercise stimulates how much dopamine (a mood enhancing hormone) is produced which reduces the desire for nicotine.

For the first time – during just the tiniest dot in history – most people in the Western world can afford to be leisurely. That is to say, hard physical labor isn’t necessarily the way most people are active.
Physical movement is now a conscious choice, not an act of survival.
Moving around, however, is important for a long life seeing as sitting is considered the new “silent death.” Unfortunately, the new world is all about sitting in our various cells – work, car,...
