Wellbeing Startegies for Long Term Health
Live happier & healthier: it’s all in the brain
What do you do when you’re feeling in a slump? You may have certain ‘go to’ activities to help get you in a better frame of mind such as getting outdoors for a nice walk, or working up a sweat at the gym. Many however turn to mindless social media scrolling, alcohol or Netflix binging.
We’ve all experienced the positive and negative impact that some activities have on our well being. But did you know that you can actually train your brain to improve your overall well being?
Thanks to advances in neuroscience, we now understand that our brains are highly adaptable. Throughout your life, your brain can actually change its structure and functions. These changes can happen after trauma or following an injury – but they can also happen in response to new experiences, learning and training, or meditation. This knowledge has fascinating practical implications!
Essentially, when you actively seek and enjoy activities with a strong mind-body connection, you can actually re-wire your brain’s neural pathways. It’s not new age mumbo jumbo: you physically possess the ability to empower every aspect of your life.
Reach your full potential with a holistic approach to well being.
There are important strategies you can adopt to improve wellness and longevity at any age. A holistic approach to nurture mind, body and spirit ultimately improves overall well being. Considering these key focus areas and taking practical steps to improve the mind-body connection improve self-awareness and help rewire neural pathways.
