All About Happify.com | The Science of Happiness

The Science Behind Happify
1. That the brain we're born with can be changed. Technically speaking, they call that neuroplasticy. (You can teach an old brain new tricks.)
2. We can change it by adopting new thought
patterns, by training our brain as if it were a muscle, to overcome negative thoughts.

3. All of us are hard-wired for negativity (blame
evolution!) but can profoundly benefit from learning new ways to react and deal with everyday stresses.

4. It doesn't take a lot of effort to make a real difference in your life. A few simple and even entertaining mental diversions will change things.

My Experience | Things To Do Before You Die Book by Richard Horne

Summer 2015

I found "101 Things To Do Before You Die" by Richard Horne between December 2014 and February 2015. *Note: I won't be doing all of these things or posting/listing all of them as a few things on the list are rather inappropriate or against my beliefs/values/faith (Messianic Believer) -aka, the one about having a threesome... yeah, that's not going to happen.- And I've also done some of these already years ago, like selling things on eBay, getting piercings, or (not swimming with) seeing dolphins. Things that I've kind of done will be underlined rather than crossed out because it only half counts.*
