EMOTIONS:

I’m sure you already know that your thoughts, feelings and moods are all tied together. But did you ever wonder just how this all works?

Bliss and the Brain
There’s new evidence that your brain determines if you are basically happy, or basically sad.  An active left pre-frontal cortex = a positive outlook

YOUR "EMOTIONAL SUCCESS" FINGERPRINT
But perhaps the least understood of these are the concepts of "feelings" and "emotions." For example: Although it's easy enough to recognize when you're feeling something -- it's far less clear just what a "feeling" really is.


NEGATIVE THOUGHTS CAN MAKE YOU SICK
Having negative thoughts really can make you more illness-prone, say scientists. A major study has linked "negative thinking " brain activity with a weakened immune system. Researchers studied people with high levels of negative thoughts, and found they actually responded worse to a flu vaccine.

THREE EASY WAYS TO GET UNSTUCK IN A HURRY
Have you ever had one of those days when you are stuck? I don’t mean just a little stuck, I mean can’t even seem to get your brain to move a millimeter forward towards a solution stuck. It could be a problem at home or work for which you are trying to find a solution or it could be an idea for a project, a speech, or an article.

GET MAD AND GET GOING
Emotion is actually one of the most powerful energies we humans have. It IS literally mental energy in motion. And certain emotions are so powerful they can instantly change your life.

HOW MEMORY REALLY WORKS
Many researchers have observed that the more emotion-packed an experience – the more likely you’ll remember it. Memories are encoded into physical neural connections in your brain. The more powerful the images accompanying an event – the more your brain is stimulated, and more likely it will become a long-term memory.

LEARNING, MEMORY & THE AMYGDALA
Emotions have a powerful effect on the mind, and fear - a strong survival instinct – is particularly potent. Now, with the help of modern technology and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, scientists can observe what is occurring in the brain as humans experience and learn fear.

MEMORY AND YOUR BRAIN
Memory allows us to perceive, store, and access the information we need to survive and enjoy life. But until recently we've been mystified by how the brain actually saves and retrieves memories. Now scientists have pinpointed for the first time how the brain actually manages this amazing feat.

TUNE YOUR BRAIN FOR MORE SUCCESS
Every wonder why some people have such extraordinary luck attracting endless opportunities that move them closer to their goals? Actually there’s a neuroscience explanation for such unusual “luck” – it’s simply their brain

CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS
Socrates knew it all along. If you want to succeed in life you must "know thyself." This is the first step for everything and for anybody who wants to make a difference in his or her life. The ability to listen to our own emotions, wants, desires and needs is as important as listening to others. In addition, putting the understanding of your emotions (and those of others) into practice is equally important.
