YOUR HEART KNOWS THINGS THAT YOUR MIND CAN'T EXPLAIN

 



Hedonic adaptation is the observed tendency of humans to quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite positive or negative events in life. Every day people are facing different stimulus. 


For instance, you might have aced that test that you took last week or someone you loved passes away. The brain reacts to both these sensations differently - when you have done something that brings gratification brain starts to release more endorphins and dopamine-producing a feeling of delight. In contrast, when something traumatizing happens, the level of serotonin reduces leading to a miserable sensation 



However, the emotional state will return to the optimal level of happiness regardless of the intensity of the positive and negative effect. This phenomenon is embedded in the human brain for its topmost survival during numerous seizing circumstances. Sometimes in life, your role of decisions making might seem very important, "if you screw it up everything will come to its end". This is how our brain will exaggerate certain things inducing stress and anxiety. But at the end of the day, what you felt at the start will go back to how you sued to feel, this is one of the reasons, why the brain is distracting and also manipulative. 


In conclusion, do what you love and love what you love and always follow your heart which is your conscience.

Our first love becomes extremely significant, memorable and impassioned as it teaches us how to love a person other than you are obliged to do, such as your parents or relatives. You display your complete passion for the person irrespective of thei...

LOVE IS BEYOND LOGIC...

  LOVE IS BEYOND LOGIC… Love is an intriguing theme discussed by us in our daily life. It is surrounded by us and waiting for people to approach us with their feelings to showcase their support in the form of only one global emotion – LOVE. It could be the love of our friends, family or partners who wish to get attached with us and make our days special and enduring through challenges.  Let’s address the elephant in this article, “ WHY IS LOVE BEYOND LOGIC?”. I am certain there are people who are completely unequivocal about love being “ just scientific and it’s all in our brain”.

It can neither be created nor destroyed...

Let me tell you that an intelligent person in simple terms would mean a person who has the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. A diligent person would mean a hard worker. Now, which one are you? Are you the first one or the second one? Let’s analyze both and see which one we should be. Intelligence can be put into numerous ways : the capacity for abstraction, logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, reasoning, planning, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving etc. Sounds big I know. All of us would think, “ oh you are so lucky to have this much capacity! ”. Well let me tell you one thing, hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.
