I had heard a lot about journaling before, I used to do it as a teenager, but it’s been years since I put a pen on paper and let my thoughts flow…
Today I look at journaling through the lens of the neuroscience behind it. And what I see it’s both interesting and beautiful!

Have you ever wondered what makes you happy? The four happy chemicals have a lot to do with this. Find out more about them in this article!
Cognitive performance evolves with stress levels and there is a relationship between performance and alertness/or stress levels.

Creative thinking is an increasingly important skill in the work environment, especially since it differentiates us humans from artificial intelligence.
Do you remember the last time you had a creative “aha” moment? Was it when you were working hard on solving a problem, or was it more when you were relaxed, for example when you were having a walk or taking a shower?
Breathing is considered by most cultures as the key to life, since life starts by our first breath and ends with our last breath.
We breathe on average 20.000 times per day – how often do we pay attention to it; despite the impact our breath has on our minds?
This is the first guest blog from The NeuroMindfulness Institute, focusing on the management of fears, anxiety and stress during the pandemic.
It brings neuroscience and mindfulness together in a practical approach to well-being in these abnormal times.
Enjoy!
This is the sixth and last post in the series dedicated to the benefits of applying the SCARF Model to increase our wellbeing (at home and at work) in these times of Covid-19. This post approaches the fifth SCARF “button”: Fairness.
