An interesting and thought-provoking article about the evolution of the brain, its size, and the theories on why it began to shrink millennia ago—possibly triggered by social and “technological” advances. #Brain #BrainEvolution #HumanEvolution

As Zhenghao Liu puts it, “This experiment shows that quantum physics is more nonclassical than many of us thought. It could be that, even 100 years after its discovery, we are still only seeing the tip of the iceberg.” #Quantum #QuantumPhysics

Happy to finally have this book in hand! I had to order it twice since the first copy got lost in the mail... or maybe it never collapsed into particle form and remained in its wave state instead... #Quantum #QuantumMechanics #QuantumTheory #QuantumPhysics #DavidBohm

Here are some books I’ve recently read. Whatever your thoughts, beliefs, or points of view, the ideas in these books will force you to reflect on and reconsider many pre-established notions. Definitely worth reading! #FoodForThought

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #742,582!

I just finished reading The Circadian Code by Dr Satchin Panda. It's a must-read for anyone interested in optimizing how their body and brain function! Key takeaways include the importance of proper sleep, light exposure, time-restricted eating, and physical activity.

I just finished 'The Self-Aware Universe' by Amit Goswami, Ph.D. It's truly fascinating, exploring quantum mechanics, consciousness, and the relationship between our brain and mind. This thought-provoking read posits consciousness as the primary element in understanding the universe.

Over the past couple of months, I've been immersing myself in the work of Dr Joe Dispenza. It's been both a thought-provoking and an eye-opening journey. I would strongly recommend everyone give it a try. The benefits you can get from it are worth your time!

When we consistently expose ourselves to the same environment and daily stimuli over extended periods, our brains rely on familiar neural pathways established from past experiences. This reinforcement strengthens existing associative networks, anchoring us to habitual thought patterns. (1/2)

Here's my #ThoughtOfTheDay: Have you ever considered what occupies the majority of your mental rehearsal, thoughts, and eventual actions? Whether consciously crafted or unconsciously formed, our thoughts and behaviors continually shape our sense of self. (1/2)

Nowadays, it seems that we frequently find ourselves consumed by material possessions. These possessions or external events serve to strengthen the ego, relying on the surroundings to reaffirm one's identity. To evolve, it is crucial to disrupt this cycle.

Here's my #ThoughtOfTheDay: To address challenges in your external environment, it's essential to move beyond your memories and the associated emotions tied to those challenges. (1/2)

We constantly find ourselves bound by self-imposed limitations, believing that external factors are necessary to transform our internal state. This is exemplified by advertising, where an ongoing reliance on and consumption of external stimuli is promoted as the key to happiness and improvement.

Here's a thought: The stress we experience when we feel unsafe and threatened is not necessarily about the event itself but the result of unmanaged emotional reactions to the event.

Here's a thought: In today's world, it often seems like we inadvertently lean towards finding reasons to reinforce our right to be annoyed rather than actively seeking the joys that contribute to a positive mental space. Let's strive to cultivate reasons for happiness and well-being instead.

The majority of what forms our adult identity, around 95%, is shaped by repetitive habits, where the body essentially becomes the mind, running on subconscious programming. In contrast, only 5% of our identity is consciously directed.

Reacting to conditions, or threats, in our external environment triggers the release of stress hormones, which moves the body out of balance.

Here's a thought: When facing adversity, the first problem you have to deal with is your own reaction. The only permanent solution to your problems is to let go of the part of you that seems to have so many problems with your personal reality. After that, you can deal with what's left.

Here's a thought: If how you think and feel creates your personal reality, then by consistently thinking and feeling the same as yesterday, you're reaffirming the same life. So it's not just your personality creating your personal reality, but rather, your personal reality shaping your personality.

Here's a thought: If a habit is a redundant set of automatic and unconscious thoughts, behaviors, and emotions acquired through frequent repetition, it would make sense that by maintaining the same routines and habits as yesterday, your tomorrow will likely be very similar to your yesterday.

Here are some books, different genres and about different topics, I recently read and I would recommend. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

One of the greatest challenges encountered during the process of #reinvention, or any #transformative journey, is dealing with the dual pressures of expecting to achieve a desired goal consistently and repeatedly, as well as the accompanying frustration of attempting to force its realization.

Discussing the theme of #reinvention lately, I recalled an insightful point from Dorie Clark in one of the opening chapters of her excellent book 'Reinventing You': Reinvention, and overcoming past perceptions, can be a daunting process. (1/2)

As we listen to certain songs from 1986, it's discouraging to realize that we haven't made as much progress as we'd hoped... There's too many men, too many people Making too many problems And there's not much love to go around Can't you see this is the land of confusion? (1/2)

An intriguing article! It seems that the brain has a kind of 'watchdog' mechanism to help us break free from certain mental loops... www.sciencealert.com/the-opposite...

A breathtaking sunrise to start the day right...

Embracing the tranquil allure of early mornings at the office, particularly on days painted with the exquisite strokes of rain and fog. A moment captured, as the world remains enshrouded, awaiting the day's awakening.
