Welcome to my passion project! I’m Emma McAdam, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and my mission is to make mental health resources easier to access. I take therapy skills and psychological research and condense them down into bite-sized nuggets of help. 

As a licensed therapist, one thing I’ve noticed is that most people have no idea of what they can do to improve depression, anxiety, or other mental illness. 

I’m here to spread the message that while mental illness is real, it’s common, it’s debilitating, it’s also treatable. There are dozens of research-backed approaches to treating depression, anxiety, and other mental illness. Change, growth, and healing are possible. Please keep courage! Try one little thing every day to improve your life and health, and things can get so much better!

How to Be Less Emotionally Reactive: Black and White Thinking

How to Reframe Black and White Thinking and become less emotionally reactive

<ul><li>Many people who are drawn to psychology are also drawn to psychological-sounding woo. </li><li>Astrology, homeopathy, the Myers-Briggs, & the ideas in The Secret all lack evidentiary support -- and can be harmful. </li><li>If you're interested in psychology, you should know why these ideas are bunk. </li> </ul>

Key points

‘“You needn’t go on making remarks like that,” Humpty Dumpty said: “they’re not sensible, and they put me out.”’ – Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

Quote 

Psychology is the science of mind and behavior. It has nothing to do with astrology, The Secret , or other New Age twaddle. But many smart people who are drawn to psychology are sometimes also drawn to psychological-sounding woo. Should we be concerned?

Maybe it doesn’t matter. Some people think these beliefs are fringe and mostly harmless – and besides, most people don’t believe this stuff anyway. But polls suggest the opposite: most of us aren’t completely tethered to reality. <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/16915/three-four-americans-believe-paranormal.aspx">73% of Americans have at least one paranormal belief </a>. A variety of pseudosciences enjoy <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130131050627/http:/www.nsf.gov/statistics/seind06/c7/c7s2.htm#c7s2l3">wide appeal </a>in public society. Woo literally <a href="http://whatstheharm.net/">kills people </a>. Carl Sagan’s <a href="https://www.azquotes.com/quote/1069554">famous foreboding </a>? Gone and boded already, damn it. The point of this post is to offer readers some information about five attractive-but-empty ideas and have a bit of fun in the process.

So What?

Penny : “I’m a Sagittarius, which probably tells you way more than you need to know.” Sheldon : “Yes, it tells us that you participate in the mass cultural delusion that the sun’s apparent position relative to arbitrarily defined constellations at the time of your birth somehow affects your <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/personality">personality </a>.” – The Big Bang Theory

1. Astrology

Astrology is the belief that the position of celestial bodies at the time of your birth influences your personality and life course.Here’s why this is nonsense.First, empirical tests of astrological predictions show that they don’t work. <a href="https://www.ingentaconnect.com/contentone/imp/jcs/2003/00000010/F0020006/art00010?crawler=true&mimetype=application/pdf&casa_token=-nXLyQBUeM4AAAAA:IuotCr7MNS2EfvHrfYkpKKNmK5rNY1NUXI3dk3C6Smj3qHb22_N_o99dMEKIBYilYOA1w__azUvh4an24Ac">A meta-analysis of more than 40 controlled studies shows that expert astrologers perform no better than chance </a>, even at predicting basic personality traits such as <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/extroversion">extraversion </a>. <a href="https://muller.lbl.gov/papers/Astrology-Carlson.pdf">Double-blind tests show that astrological predictions are not supported by the evidence </a>. Second, there is no known mechanism by which the planets could influence your personality.

Third, in case you’re thinking it has to do with gravity, it doesn’t – the gravitational pull of the doctor in the room at the time of your birth was stronger than the gravitational pull exerted on you by the planets in our solar system at that same moment. Fourth, for astrology to be correct, it would have to negate pretty much everything we know about physics and psychology. Fifth and finally, there are good reasons to think that belief in astrology is driven by a combination of cognitive biases (such as <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258127972_Myside_Bias_Rational_Thinking_and_Intelligence">myside bias </a>) and ambiguous writing (such as <a href="https://nesslabs.com/barnum-effect#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20Encyclopedia%20Britannica,information%20that%20applies%20to%20everyone.%E2%80%9D">Barnum statements </a>).

There’s no bona fide connection between the planets and our personality – there’s just no <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXIWyYtq85E">special Szechuan sauce </a>there.

On a more serious note: it’s helpful to keep in mind that as humans, we have a <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4141622/">tendency to see patterns </a>even where there aren’t any. This can be understood through mathematical insights from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88_C-fogY40">Ramsey Theory </a>combined with evidence that our minds are <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/patternicity-finding-meaningful-patterns/">promiscuous pattern detectors </a>.

By the way, these cognitive biases are a <a href="https://areomagazine.com/2021/09/15/a-multicultural-psychologists-take-on-free-speech/">human universal </a>, and we all struggle with them. Nobody is immune! So don’t feel bad if you, like the rest of us, sometimes fall prey to these human foibles. The hope is that learning how these cognitive biases lead us astray will help us become more vigilant when we hear claims about how the world works.

For a dystopian take on the dangers of taking astrology too seriously, check out Season 2 Episode 5 of science fiction series <a href="https://www.hulu.com/series/the-orville-21e70fbf-6a51-41b3-88e9-f111830b046c">The Orville </a>.

The <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/myers-briggs">Myers-Briggs Type Indicator </a> is the most popular personality test in the world – but alas, it’s mostly bullshit. It offers inconsistent results, doesn’t predict life outcomes, ignores key personality variables, and is based on empirically unsubstantiated ideas. The Myers-Briggs Company contends that "the MBTI assessment is designed to be descriptive, not predictive," but it is widely used to predict workplace behavior.. Check out <a href="https://areomagazine.com/2021/03/09/should-you-trust-the-myers-briggs-personality-test/">this essay </a>for a deeper look at the Myers-Briggs.

2. The Myers-Briggs Personality Test

As the famous quip goes, it’s good to have an open mind, but <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFO6ZhUW38w">if you open your mind too much, your brain might fall out </a>[1].

Homeopathy is a form of <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/integrative-medicine">alternative medicine </a>based on the idea that “like cures like” and that diluting substances increases their potency. (Yep, this one’s pungent).

3. Homeopathy

A good way to know that this is bullshit is 1) controlled <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/1800-studies-later-scientists-conclude-homeopathy-doesnt-work-180954534/">studies </a>show that homeopathy <a href="https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/homeopathy/#when-used">fails to outperform placebo </a>, 2) it <a href="https://www.statnews.com/2016/02/26/reject-pseudoscience-homeopathy/">contradicts vast swaths </a>of physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine (and you know those sciences work because they cure our infections and give us computers), and 3) <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2291211/">evidence clearly shows </a>that the central tenets of homeopathy – for example, that like cures like and dilution increases potency – are just plain <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.2042-7166.2012.01162.x?casa_token=583NLOgPaR4AAAAA:D0GKzXtg2aiay00ytWlJQtpoyhN-lvWxCDaRR_7ouDg-arrwqPuYGZXmy6snp4RT1WEWMJ8vJ5deer0">wrong </a>. Belief in homeopathy appears to be driven by expectancy effects and the <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/placebo">placebo effect </a>.

Or as Tim Minchin puts it more eloquently in this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhGuXCuDb1U">animated beat poem </a>: “Alternative medicine has either not been proved to work, or been proved not to work. Do you know what they call alternative medicine that’s been proved to work?... Medicine !”

Have you ever wondered what a homeopathic emergency room would look like? Comedy duo Mitchell & Webb give us an idea in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGIbOGu8q0&t=3s">this brilliant sketch </a>. And in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7Xvqv6RZV0&t=1s">this </a>video, we learn how “double-blind” studies work in homeopathy: you do the study, and then you don’t look at the results…. twice!

Progress was slow for a long time, but many people now recognize that homeopathy is not innocuous nonsense; it’s <a href="https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11673-015-9682-0.pdf">dangerous </a>nonsense that <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaoncology/fullarticle/2687972">kills </a>people every year by steering them away from real treatments. This has led to positive developments like the <a href="https://pseudoscience-manifesto.apetp.com/">European Manifesto against Pseudo-Therapies </a>, which is worth clicking on and reading.

“This was… the usual New Age nonsense… a mush of psychobabble, <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/self-help">self-help </a>tips, pseudo-scripture, and Chicken Soup for the Soul.” – Connie Willis, Inside Job

4. The Secret

Ah, The Secret : a bowl-you-over-with-bullshit kind of book. It’s founded on the idea that positive <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/fantasies">visualization </a>will make good things appear in your life, and it repeatedly implies that if your life is beset by misfortune and misery, you’re bringing it on yourself by not thinking positively. Like many other brands of woo, it <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-other-secret/">misuses quantum physics </a>to advance its claims (<a href="https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/pp">classic </a>, I tell you!), and has an <a href="https://skepticalinquirer.org/exclusive/secrets-and-lies/">ugly flipside </a>.

In <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/26/books/review/Chabris-t.html">this piece </a>, two prominent psychologists analyze the dreck peddled in the book, paying special <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/attention">attention </a>to why people are drawn to it. And in a no-holds-barred analysis, <a href="https://markmanson.net/the-secret">this piece </a>explains how the doctrine is founded on a core delusion.

This, ladies and gents and <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/gender">non-binary </a>folks, is the NBA All-Star team of bullshit. Bilking people out of their money in exchange for false hope is nothing new, of course. Debunkers like Harry Houdini and <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/james-randi-obituary-1079316/">The Amazing Randi </a>did an excellent job of unmasking con artists in their day. If you’re a student of psychology, make sure you get to know <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Randi">The Amazing Randi </a>. You can start with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk_NAUdVpko&list=PL_krQYPPG4VWJu19BM1j54r3H4bwo2j8U&index=8&t=1s">this great introduction </a>. You should also check out <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Honest-Liar-James-Amazing-Randi/dp/B00Z9QEVVE">this documentary </a>about his stellar <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/career">career </a>and riveting personal life. You can find his books <a href="https://www.amazon.com/James-Randi/e/B000AQ26MO?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1613265738&sr=8-1">here </a>.

( these are a few of my least favorite things  )

– ­Connie Willis, Inside Job If you want a bit of a mind-bender, try <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Inside-Job-Connie-Willis-ebook/dp/B004Q9TFP2">this brilliant Hugo award-winning novella by Connie Willis </a>, the most decorated science fiction author of all time. Willis weaves seances, skepticism, and romance into a superbly crafted, tightly structured tale that revolves around a central paradox and finishes with a satisfying ending. “Spreading her pernicious astral-plane-Higher-<a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/wisdom">Wisdom </a>hokum and bilking her benighted audiences out of their cash.”

Are you a psychology student who believes in some of this woo-woo? If so, <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/forgiveness">forgive </a>me, but there is a sense in which you’re missing the animating spirit and methodological backbone of your discipline. The progress of psychology – or, one might argue, the point of psychology – is to explain the human mind in a natural way, one that does not rely on entities or forms of causation for which we have no evidence. Psychology succeeds precisely to the extent that it’s able to naturalize the mind and bring it under the purview of science.

Psychology Students: Could You Be Missing the Point of Psychology?

The goal is a grand one: to understand the mind in all of its beautiful weirdness – déjà vu, the placebo effect, nervousness-induced itch, <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/false-memories">false memories </a>, <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/synesthesia">synesthesia </a>, <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/dreaming">lucid dreaming </a>, <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/near-death-experiences">near-death experiences </a>– in a fully natural way that doesn’t violate any known laws of the universe, doesn’t rely on miracles, and doesn’t postulate entities that aren’t needed to explain the phenomena at hand. If you let in spirits or divination or personalities forged by planetary pulls, you’ve given up before the game really got started.

The good news is that it’s never too late to begin thinking of the mind this way. Your brain is a squishy, wet computer that obeys the laws of physics and was shaped by the blind algorithmic process of evolution. Come on over to the dark side! You won’t miss the woo-woo that much, I promise. There’s awe and grandeur in this naturalistic view of the mind. Plus we have <a href="https://theoldvillage.wordpress.com/2004/01/28/douglas-adams-shares-a-true-story/">cookies </a>.

Keeping a healthy mind is as important as keeping a healthy body, because one can easily influence the other.

6 Healthy Habits that Make You Mentally Strong

Feeling any negative emotions (e.g. anger, anxious, fear, upset, anxious, etc.) doesn't make you weak. It is perfectly normal to experience these. It is when you don't allow those negative emotions control you is what makes you mentally stronger. Recognizing emotions is different from acknowledging them.

1. You Are In Control Of Your Emotions

When you think critically about your thoughts and beliefs, you're actually challenging yourself to think more. With the internet being easily accessible, there's so much information to take in and analyze. This can be overwhelming when you're trying to keep up with what's true and what's not. Mentally strong people make a habit of questioning and thinking critically about the things they come across. Questioning things that you read or heard gives you a reason to dig deeper, resulting into learning more.

2. You Question Your Thoughts And Beliefs

Creating healthy boundaries for the people in your life is a good habit for your mental strength. According to the article of PsychCentral (n.d), boundaries are a measure of self esteem. When you create healthy boundaries, you're letting other people know how to treat you which allows you to be your best self. When you don't have clear boundaries, it's easy to say yes or agree to whatever they say, which can be pretty exhausting.

3. You Have Healthy Boundaries In Place For Yourself

Obsessing over things you've done in the past only adds more stress to yourself. When you started to think about what happened, figure out why it happened and where it went wrong, and make a plan for how to improve, you'll become mentally stronger because it shows that you're choosing to grow and to learn.

4. You Actively Learn From Your Mistakes

Social media is huge part in our society, especially with our technology being accessible to all. It can be a great way to connect with friends and family and is filled with pictures or opinions of strangers. Apps like Facebook or Instagram make it easy for you to compare your life to others. Those nice beautiful pictures and their post about their happy life can get you jealous and an unhealty comparision can start in your heart. When you scroll through social media, you can start to think you aren't good enough. Limiting the use of social media can help you end your comparison with others.

5. You Limit Yourself On Social Media

Going above and beyond and keeping up on productice tasks can be exhausting too, and if you don't pay time for yourself to recharge, your mental health can take a hit. According to na article relased from PsychCentral (n.d.), downtown allows your brain to restore attention and motivation. It promotes creativity, strengthens memory, and can even make you more productive in the long run. When you take a little time out of your busy day, you're allowing your mind to take a break and recharge.

6 Healthy Habits That Make You Mentally Strong

<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33630505-the-plant-paradox">The Plant Paradox </a>helps you make better food decisions and eat healthier by arguing that some plant foods that we think are healthy can actually be harming us and making it harder to lose weight.

The Plant Paradox - Book Summary 

"Quite simply, plants don't want to be eaten - and who can blame them? Like any living thing, their instinct is to propagate the next generation of their species."-Stecen R. Gundry

Author Quote 

Health foods and <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/the-bulletproof-diet-summary/">diets </a>are more popular than ever. You’ve probably heard the buzz around so-called superfoods like Kale, blueberries, or acai. And you are probably pretty aware that certain foods, like things deep-fried or full of added sugar, should be avoided. So avoiding the bad and eating plenty of fruits, veggies, and whole grains is the key to health, why are rates of obesity and inflammation-related diseases higher than ever?

Book Overview 

Look no further than <a href="https://gundrymd.com/gundry-md/">Dr. Steven R. Gundry </a>‘s book, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33630505-the-plant-paradox">The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in “Healthy” Foods That Cause Disease and Weight Gain </a>. He’s a former professor of cardiothoracic surgery and the director of the Center for Restorative Medicine in California. In his book, he alerts us to the dangers of certain plant foods you have probably deemed healthy.

He lays out which plant foods we should be avoiding, according to his research. He advises what to eat instead to have more energy, help your digestion, reduce inflammation, and maintain optimal weight. <a href="https://gundrymd.com/gundry-md/">Gundry </a>explains how the nutritional value of our fruits and <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/animal-vegetable-miracle-summary/">vegetables </a>have changed, and what our ancestor’s diets can teach us about what we should consume. I’ll be honest, some of it seems a bit controversial, but I suggest keeping an open mind and you will definitely learn something.

<ol><li>Plants defend themselves with proteins that confuse the human mind and may cause weight gain. </li><li>Whole-grain foods contain a protein known as lectin that can make your body attack itself. </li><li>Start the Plant Paradox Program by cutting out the bad, doing a three-day cleanse, and taking supplements and you will start feeling better.  </li> </ol>

Top 3 Lessons From The Voo

We all know that animals evolve to avoid predators. Think of a Monarch caterpillar, poisonous to birds, or a cuttlefish that can change color to avoid being seen. But did you know that <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/the-hidden-life-of-trees-summary/">plants </a>also have found ways to protect themselves? One secret weapon that a plant has to defend itself is in the form of the protein lectin.

Lesson 1:  Plants might make you experience mental cloudiness and weight gain because of the proteins they use to defend themselves.

Lectin exists in the seeds, leaves, grains, and skins of most <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/the-botany-of-desire-summary/">plants </a>. When an animal consumes lectin, the protein binds to sugar molecules in the animal’s brain and nerves, causing them to not function properly.  The result is brain fog, which causes trouble focusing and memory difficulty. The sole purpose of lectin is to teach animals that they shouldn’t eat these plants in the future.

The bad news for humans is that it also causes brain fog and weight issues. One particularly bad culprit is the lectin found in wheat. It causes sugar to enter our fat <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/the-immortal-life-of-henrietta-lacks-summary/">cells </a>, where it is converted to fat and makes us gain weight. For our ancestors, having a “wheat belly” was an effective way to survive long winters. This made it a valuable part of their diet. For us, the side effects aren’t so welcome.

The side effects of wheat lectin don’t end at weight gain. But first, we need to understand a little about the way digestion works. Your gastrointestinal tract contains trillions of microbes that help you convert food to energy. Without these precious gut bacteria, you would starve to <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/a-beginners-guide-to-the-end-summary/">death </a>. So your body makes sure to keep them in the intestines. If they are somehow able to escape, your body will see them as a foreign invader and essentially begin attacking itself.

Lesson 2:  Your body can attack itself when you consume whole-grain foods because of the protein lectin.

So where do lectins come in? Lectins increase the permeability of the intestinal tract and allow valuable microbes to spill out . The reason we have this risk today is that <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/grain-brain-summary/">whole grain </a>has become so popular as a health food. For centuries societies removed the bran, or the part containing the lectin. But now that whole grain is touted as much more healthy, people are consuming more lectin as a result. This increases the risk of developing autoimmune disorders such as diabetes and Crohn’s disease.

Like many diets, the author’s Plant Paradox Program tells you what foods you should cut out of your diet. He believes what you don’t eat is more important than what you do eat because eating the wrong things will lead to a harmful reaction in your body.  The author advises avoiding all legumes, which consist of lentils, peas, and all types of beans. These contain the highest lectin count. Also drop potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, and any fruit not in season. And obviously nothing containing wheat flour. A full list can be found online.

Lesson 3: Avoiding certain foods, doing three-day cleanse, and taking supplements will get you on the right track to full health.

<a href="https://gundrymd.com/gundry-md/">Gundry </a>also says that just like a farmer prepares the soil for planting, you should prepare your <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/the-4-hour-body-summary/">body </a>for the diet. You can do this by doing a three-day cleanse where you will remove anything with even traces of lectin in it. This will enable your gut to start healing itself.

A report examining the nutrient value of fruits and vegetables since 1940 showed a steady decline in vitamins and minerals. One explanation could be that we are using stronger fertilizers and pesticides. Luckily, nowadays we can supplement to get the vitamins our body desperately needs. The author advises taking vitamin B12 and vitamin D especially as they are so important. This way we can fill in the gaps where our diet can’t.

I’ve been wondering when a book would have me going “what the heck did I just read?!” and this book is it. I don’t know if I believe anything in <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33630505-the-plant-paradox">The Plant Paradox </a>! There might be something to the idea that plants defend themselves against predators like us. But why we should discourage things that are known to help with heart disease and cancer such as whole grains, legumes, and some vegetables?! I would definitely do my own research after reading this one.

The Plant Paradox - Book Review

The 52-year-old <a href="http://fourminutebooks.com/deep-nutrition-summary/">nutrition </a>professor who wants a different perspective on plants, the 34-year-old that is curious about leaky gut because they think they might have it, and anyone who wants to try a semi-crazy diet plan to see if it might work.

Who would I recommend The Plant Paradox to?

The Plant Paradox Summary will help you improve your diet and health by learning about plant foods that sound healthy but can actully harm you.

The Plant Paradox Summary

It wakes us up and motivates our workouts to keep us company on our commutes.
Doesn't matter what kind of music it is the music itself has the ability to affect our moods and our bodies in all sorts of ways.
Music activates every area of the brain that we have so far mapped in fact there's no area of the brain that we know about that music doesn't touch in some way, but what's behind all that what exactly does music do to us?

These days we hear music all the time.

25 years ago, the idea was that language is on the left side of the brain and music is on the right side of the brain but now that we've got better quality tools higher resolution neuroimaging, and better experimental methods, it is found that music is going on in both halves of the brain the left and the right, the front in the back the inside and the outside.

Music in the brain.

The multitasking areas of their brain are understandably lit up. Not only that, they had had benefits in cognitive skills and decision-making, & also for social behavior.Kids who have studied music have stronger connections between the right and the left hemisphere and that can make them better problem-solvers.

How does music affect the kid's development?

Whether you find listening to music so pleasurable that you get chills or you absolutely despise a song it can produce absolutely fascinating effects in the brain.According to Levian, musical enjoyment triggers the brain's internal opioid system & just like the opioid system that comes in pill form these chemicals make you feel good and help you paint, and music you don't like releases cortisol the notorious stress.

What happens when you enjoy and when you despise music?

What we know about the brain is that the left hemisphere controls language and there are many other parts of the brain that have music access. Music Therapist, Meghan Morrow says sometimes she compares it to being in traffic and one can't move any further but one might need to exit so they can take a feeder road to get to their destination so music is basically like that feeder road to the new destination like a detour.Therefore, music can help to relearn things like a speech by accessing alternative pathways in the brain, and learning to play music can help strengthen brain connections.

Music Strengthens brain connections.

A musician, Fantastic Negrito was made to play one of his songs while going through fMRI; the result was the areas that process sensory and motor skills along sounds lit up.
But when he was asked to create something original, the areas that were active before, the ones that deal with motor skills and sounds are even more active.

Music under fMRI.

As we could see more of the area of the prefrontal cortex which is associated with effortful planning and conscious self-monitoring is less active, it appears to be really shut down in these moments of high creativity like letting go of this conscious self-censoring or self-monitoring area that are normally there to help control that output.

continued.

Music is so much more than notes on a page. It can change the way we think and speak and feel.
It's not the thing that happens in clubs and jazz bars, it's actually maybe the most fundamental form of what it means to be human to come up with a new idea.
It's about more than just letting go. One can view it from the perspective of survival if human beings only could memorize rote responses we'd be long gone.

What is music exactly?

Life without music is inconceivable for me. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. I get the most joy in life out of music. ~ EisteinDrop your favorite musician's name and tell us how they helped you and what position they hold in your heart.You can find me at <a href="https://twitter.com/saoirseblr?t=fplf8Ltp57OB1lms-7xbbw&s=09">@saoirseblr.</a>TAP for finding out - <a href="https://dsta.sh/NTy9VGgZAkRGGwPw5">Are you productive or are you busy?</a>

Hope these Stashes inspire you to listen to more pieces of music.

Music activates every area of the brain that we have so far mapped in fact there's no area of the brain that we know about that music doesn't touch in some way.

In this episode of Tech Effects, we explore the impact of music on the brain and body. From listening to music to performing it, WIRED's Peter Rubin looks at how music can change our moods, why we get the chills, and how it can actually change pathways in our brains.

How Does Music Affect Your Brain?

My whole life I always wanted freedom. Like true freedom, the kind where you wake up and anything is possible. I always had problems trying to be athletic, I had asthma and big clunky legs that seemed to have a mind of their own😂 This lead me to constantly research health and wellness, different types of exercises and stretches. I had a rocky foundation pertaining to family so I always suffered from emotional control issues. I’ve been depressed for months, broke my hand from anger outbursts… So I searched and worked on ways to master my mind.

I’ve spent my whole life improving myself in any way I can, and these are some of the things I’ve learned!
