Research reveals there are four areas of mental training that can significantly improve your wellbeing: Resilience, outlook, awareness, and generosity. “Each of these four is rooted in neural circuits, and each of these neural circuits exhibits plasticity,” explains Davidson. “So we know that if we exercise these circuits, they will strengthen.” Here’s how… #wellbeing
You see, if you think about how quickly or slowly we tend to learn and the overall quality of our lives, we can’t help but notice the connection. And perhaps this is entwined with our ability to accept what it and use it as a catalyst to create what can be. #PersonalExperience
According to a new review of 218 studies that looked into the effects of loneliness and social isolation, those with bad social connections are 50 percent more likely to die prematurely than those with good social connections. #loneliness #socialisolation
When we choose to learn more about ourselves, we are opening a door of connecting that leads to every soul in existence. We have the power to harness this realization to truly do good for ourselves and others. INFJ may seem like the ideal personality, but it’s one we all have access to. The world is a reflection of the chaos within us; evaluate these themes that you witness and see if they can be resolved within your own being and the relationships you have with others. #personalitytype #INFJ
Once we can realize we are not what other’s think or believe, that we are not measured by the weight of outer opinions and judgments, we set ourselves free…literally. As the legend, Bob Marley said it best…”None but ourselves can free our minds.” #selfworth
The awe we experience during a total solar eclipse is very unique because it is the universe that we are experiencing. When you think about it, you are actually standing in the shadow of the moon, which is a solar object out there, and it’s the shadow that’s passing over us—that’s what the darkness is. It’s probably among the strongest awe we can feel. #solareclipse
The best way to describe a flow state is to use the example of practically every action movie released since The Matrix. Experiencing flow is similar to being in “bullet time.” Like Keanu Reeves’ Neo (though certainly not on his level), a person in flow obtains the ability to keenly hone their focus on the task at hand so that everything else disappears. #brainpower

Scientists report that humans might be quick to judge, but we may have also evolved to be quick to forgive. A recent study found that when assessing the moral character of others, people cling to good impressions but readily adjust their opinions about those who have behaved badly, according to new research. #forgiveness
Psychology once assumed that most human emotions fall within the universal categories of happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust. But a new study from Greater Good Science Center faculty director Dacher Keltner suggests that there are at least 27 distinct emotions—and they are intimately connected with each other.
#HumanEmotions
We need to find that place in our hearts to stop looking at the ego through eyes of judgment and see it through the eyes of love. Only then can we shift the energy around our ego from one of annoyance and avoidance to one of willingness to integrate what we can learn from it. #ego
“Can we be manipulated through social pressure to commit murder?” ~Derren Brown. It’s an important question at a time when the converging technologies of AI and social media are affecting individual and group psychology in not yet understood ways. British illusionist Derren Brown recently conducted an experiment on social pressure, this time in a feature documentary for Netflix entitled, “The Push.” #socialcompliance
