Attached. The New Science Of Adullt Attachment And How It Can Help You Find – And Keep – Love

Attached.

There is a certain very interesting book contributed to by neuroscientists Amir Levine and Rachel Heller entitled "Attached. The New Science Of Adult Attachment And How It Can Help You Find - And Keep - Love". The human brain is programmed to seek and need to receive support from others. As it turns out, we need to feel a sense of security in the bonds we form, whether they are formed in the context of friendship, family, or love.

"I felt the fear of losing someone special and in the end I lost, but I survived! And I'm still alive!"

While many of us may not like the term used next, there is a clear record at the neural level that humans are emotionally dependent. This does not mean, however, that we need to see this dependence as entrapment by another person or group of people. We are talking about our need to be loved, to be respected, and to feel that we can count on another person.

Let those who do not deserve you lose you

We all know very well that the success of a relationship depends on many factors. One of them is undoubtedly the ability to support each other and the ability to accept help. If one of these skills fails and the needs of the partner are pushed to the background, the relationship begins to weaken and lose its value.

Let the one who uses love in foul play lose you

In the book cited earlier, neuroscientists Amir Levine and Rachel Heller point out that emotionally immature people tend to treat love like a game. They have a profile of people who respond only to what the moment brings, to the immediate reward, and to the opportunity to satisfy their res.

Those who truly love don't play games

We should not forget that emotional maturity is also defined by our ability to observe reality, as well as by our ability to behave appropriately in certain situations.

“Over a decade after its publication, one book on dating has people firmly in its grip.” —The New York Times We already rely on science to tell us what to eat, when to exercise, and how long to sleep. Why not use science to help us improve our relationships? In this revolutionary book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller scientifically explain why why some people seem to navigate relationships effortlessly, while others struggle. Discover how an understanding of adult attachment—the most advanced relationship science in existence today—can help us find and sustain love. Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment posits that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways:    • Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back    • Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness.    • Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving. Attached guides readers in determining what attachment style they and their mate (or potential mate) follow, offering a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people they love.

The neurons in your brain are the same age as you, while the cells in your body are much younger. For example, bone tissue is completely replaced every ten years, and skin loses millions of cells a day, but you get a new layer of cells every month. Something similar happens in your stomach, as it is constantly forced to renew the cells covering it due to the acidic environment. Indeed, your body exhibits enviable cellular youthfulness. It's what allows you to carry out basic processes that guarantee survival. However, your brain retains a large number of the neurons you came into the world with

Neuron lives longer than you might think  

Now, if you digress and think about transhumanist theories, you might ask yourself: what would happen if you improved your body with bionic technology and managed to cheat death and disease? The answer is simple: your neurons would still be in good condition.

Indeed, neurons are born when you are born and die when you die 

Lorenzo Magrassi is a neurosurgeon at the University of Pavia and the author of a study published in 2013 in the journal PNAS. In this work, Magrassi focused on the idea that the lifespan of a neuron depends on the state of the body that contains it. His experiments on mice revealed surprising data. He implanted neurons from the brain of one mouse into the brain of another. Not only were they not destroyed by the transplant, but they survived to have a lifespan commensurate with their host. They lived another 36 months until the mouse died, in line with its life expectancy.

Neurons have no set lifespan and can last forever

Dr. Magrassi pointed out that neurons do not have a limited lifespan, but can live forever if they are in a body with ideal conditions for this. In other words, there is no genetic programming that causes neurons to start being destroyed at a certain age. It's our lifestyle and diseases that do it. Moreover, when a person dies, he or she does so with a large portion of the neurons intact. It is only when the body stops showing vital signs that the neurons gradually begin to die.

As we mentioned earlier, a large number of neurons live as long as you do. They are born and die at the same time as you. Neurogenesis is the ability of some neurons to regenerate. This happens in several areas of the brain. Neuronal regeneration occurs in the hippocampus, an area specialized for memory and learning. But what happens when you get older? Isn't it that certain neurons are destroyed? The truth is that there are nuances.

And what about aging?

Researchers at the University of North Carolina explained in a study that Dr. Magrassi has already pointed out. Neuronal death results from neurodegenerative disorders such as dementia, as well as infectious, traumatic, immunological, and inflammatory disorders.

In effect, what a neuron experience is based on aspects you can't always control, such as the development of disease. On the other hand, it is also based on realities that depend on you, such as diet, physical activity, and willingness to learn new things and connect with people.

Neuron lifespan depends on your lifestyle ... and learning

No less interesting is that science is looking at the goal of extending life expectancy. The goal is to live longer, but in good physical condition, avoiding diseases, ailments, and conditions of greater or lesser severity. The fields of genetic engineering, biotechnology, and medicine are combining to achieve this goal. Therefore, if you manage to live longer while maintaining a healthy and fit body, your brain will remain in the same condition.

Your body's cells are continually being produced and destroyed. However, the same does not happen to the neurons in your brain. According to recent studies, they can live forever.

Neurons in the brain - how long do they live?

We know that technological advances have already brought endless benefits to the medical field. However, it seems that in the field of neuroscience and mental disorders, no great milestones have been reached so far. Instead, there are more sophisticated resources for studying the brain, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In recent years, new technologies combined with state-of-the-art computational analysis, modeling, and artificial intelligence have changed many things. For example, we can see what's going on in many mental disorders at the neurological level.

Neurotechnologies that will change our lives

Neurotechnologies aim to improve the health and potential of the human brain. This area is attracting increasing interest and investment from large companies. We intend to examine below some future developments in this field, which, as we mentioned earlier, are non-invasive resources. The search for biomarkers of chronic pain and depressionArtificial intelligence added to electroencephalography (EEG) and Big Data will soon allow for better diagnoses. For example, a patient will only need to wear a cap with different electrodes to get an accurate picture of his brain activity.

Neurotechnologies aim to improve the health and potential

Deep brain stimulation is a method already being used successfully to treat major depression. However, there is one group of patients that needs more attention. In their case, often neither psychological nor pharmaceutical therapy brings any improvement. These are young people between the ages of 16 and 24 with depression and suicidal behavior. Therefore, experts have developed a device that stimulates the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. This technique, added to cognitive exercise sessions, reduces symptoms associated with depression.

Brain stimulation to treat depression in young people

Companies such as Medtronic, Neuropace, and St. Jude Medical have developed technologies that can change the quality of life for many people. While we usually think only of Elon Musk's Neuralink project, the truth is that many organizations are working on specific advances that will soon see the light of day. One such project is the creation of brain devices that prevent epileptic seizures. There will also be technologies that, through continuous monitoring, will improve the administration of specific medications based on the patient's needs.

Assistive brain devices

Other neurotechnologies already used in psychological therapy are those related to virtual reality. Currently, they are extremely useful in treating phobias and dementia, and in treating children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Soon, however, another step is to be taken. In a few years, virtual reality technology combined with brain stimulation will be developed to treat patients with post-traumatic stress disorder. Through gradual sessions, the method will seek to negate the negative effects of adverse events.

Treating injuries in virtual reality

Most of us play games on our cell phones to train our memory. These are useful resources for the elderly because they facilitate good cognitive stimulation. This is an important area of neurotechnology, and it undoubtedly helps to understand why specialized video games are being developed for this purpose. Cognitive training to improve fluid intelligence, as well as working memory, is a resource that will soon be within our reach.

Specialized video games for cognitive training  

In an increasingly stimulating and multitasking world, attention is beginning to fade in people. As a result, we now find it difficult to concentrate our mental resources on single activities. Concentration is exhausting, and our thoughts tend to wander. This feeds stress and feelings of low productivity. Wearable technologies like watches or headphones will soon begin to have a different purpose. Experts are designing devices that improve our attention span and promote calmness and emotional self-regulation. Does this mean the end of anxiety? We will have to wait and see.

Devices for concentration and self-regulation

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems already exist. They consist of interfaces that connect the human mind to a computer, translate its thoughts and transmit them to electronic devices. We know this may sound like science fiction, but if we want to understand their usefulness, we need to analyze what they consist of. These new technologies detect and decode the electrical activity of neurons. They then send messages to a device that performs a specific action. In effect, brain-computer interfaces are neurotechnologies that realize the rehabilitation of lost functions.

Brain-computer interfaces

We often think about the dangers of technological revolutions such as chatbots or artificial intelligence. However, as is usually the case with science, the key is how we use it. Currently, some neurotechnologies are already part of many therapeutic and medical communities. But in the future, there will be new and unique resources whose sole purpose will be to improve our quality of life in many areas. This is the best goal of all, and while it may have seemed magical before, it is likely to come true sooner than we might think.

Conclusion

In recent years, new technologies combined with state-of-the-art computational analysis, modeling, and artificial intelligence have changed many things. For example, we can see what's going on in many mental disorders at the neurological level. This facilitates the development of more effective treatments. What's more, it helps us understand these mental conditions more deeply...

Optimists put themselves and those around them in a good mood. They can look on the bright side instead of being stuck in negativity. Optimists choose this way of looking at the world and base their lives on it. Although certain personality traits promote optimism, being an optimist has more to do with reflection and practice.

Optimists - 7 unusual traits they possess

Consciously or subconsciously, we all view life from our chosen perspective. Our perspective depends mainly on personal experiences, personality traits, and relationships. Sometimes it all depends on habit or lack of reflection. Ultimately, it is easier to imitate and repeat than to build our views.

The simple act of working toward a goal makes everyone feel alive. In contrast, those who have not realized their dreams or desires view life through a negative lens. If there is one thing that characterizes optimists, it is the ability to set goals and fight for them.

Optimists fight for what they want.

Where others see failure, optimists see an opportunity to gain experience.

Where others see failure, optimists see an opportunity

Being honest with ourselves means putting aside excuses and justifications. This attitude requires courage because we cannot try to hide from the truth. It means facing life and being honest with ourselves.

Optimists are honest with themselves.

Systematic comparison with others only leads to distorted thoughts and poisoned hearts. We are incomparable. There is no way to measure who is a better or worse person. A prisoner may have a better seat than a business manager but a worse ability to achieve his own goals. This cannot be measured.

Never compare themselves with others.

Motivation means "to set in motion" despite any obstacles. It means pushing forward to achieve a specific goal. Optimists know that the strength to fight comes from within. This is because they do not adjust their actions to the approval or disapproval of others but to their own beliefs.

They can motivate themselves

We treat other people the same way we treat ourselves. When someone accepts himself, it is easier for him to get others. On the other hand, if someone struggles to appreciate and love himself, what usually happens is that he transfers this inner conflict to others. Then others become the target of constant criticism.

Accept other people precisely as they are

No one is a true optimist if they don't work on themselves. This means getting to know yourself, forgiving mistakes and errors, and assigning proper value to your achievements. You are your project. Working on this project and feeling proud of your progress translates into optimism in your daily life.

Perfect yourself

Where others see failure optimists see opportunity to gain experience

Optymiści - 7 niezwykłych cech, jakie posiadają

Would you drink juice in which a giant cockroach had just been swimming? Would you taste the milk from which a rat had just been removed? At the very thought of such a drink, did you withdraw your jaw in a reaction of disgust? Such feelings have accompanied humans for thousands of years, but they have not always signaled the same thing.

What makes us disgusted?

The characteristic grimace, nausea, and avoidance of the repulsive object is an innate reaction to the questionable taste of the food consumed. Meanwhile, people turn their faces not only at the taste but also at the idea of coming into contact with an unwanted substance. According to psychologist Professor Paul Rozin of the University of Pennsylvania, the conception of the disgust response is an evolutionarily acquired defense mechanism against expanding environmental contamination.

Paul Rozin's Research and Teaching at Pennsylvania University about disgustion reasons

Key takeaways There are various laws of linguistics; for example, famous words are shorter than less popular words. These laws apply not only to human language but also to animal communication. But the most surprising thing is that these rules appear almost everywhere, from species distribution and size to disease outbreaks, to protein structure.

UNKNOWN LAWS OF LANGUAGE THAT APPLY THROUGHOUT LIFE

For example, shorter words are used in different languages more often than longer ones. Biologists have noticed this, and many have wondered whether these linguistic laws apply to biological phenomena. Indeed, a new review published in Trends in Ecology and Evolution discusses their findings in detail.

Linguists have long known that human speech seems to be governed

The first linguistic rule concerns the frequency of a language's most frequently used words. This is known as Zipf's rank-frequency law and holds that the relative frequency of a word is inversely proportional to its frequency rank. In other words, the most frequently used word will be twice as often as the second most commonly used word, three times as often as the third most frequently used word, and so on. For example, the most common word in English is seven percent of all the words we use. The next most common is about 3.5 percent.

Formula 1: twice the size of the nearest rival 

The second linguistic rule we can apply to life is Zipf's law of abbreviation, which describes the tendency for more commonly used words to become shorter. This applies to hundreds of different and unrelated languages, including sign language. In English, the seven most common words are three letters or less, and there are only two words in the top 100 (people and therefore) that have more than five letters. The words we use most often are short and to the point.

Pattern 2: more minor things are more common

Communication between birds and mammals tends to be short. Indeed, it can be seen in the songs of black-headed tits, the duration of the calls of Formosa macaws, the vocalizations of the indri, the timing of chimpanzees' gestures, and the length of surface behavioral patterns in dolphins. Humans are not the only ones who want their language to be effective.

This is also a law evident throughout nature

Take a sentence such as this one, with all its words, long and short, joined together, punctuated by commas, sunk into each other to reach the final (and breathtaking) finale. It should be noted that although a sentence is long, it is divided into relatively small sentences. This is known as Menzerath's law, in which there is a negative relationship between the size of the whole and the size of the parts. This can be seen not only in sentence construction; the law applies to short phonemes and syllables found in long words.

Part 3: the longer something is, the shorter its composite parts

Although the article focuses mainly on these three laws, it points to others that can still be found (those that are so far under-researched and understudied). For example, Herdan's law (the correlation between the number of unique words and text length) is evident in the proteomes of many organisms, and Zipf's law of meaning frequency (in which more common words have more meanings) is evident in primates. Gestures.

Linguistic laws in biology and beyond 

The sheer scale of application and versatility of these laws is remarkable. The laws discovered in linguistics have applications in ecology, microbiology, epidemiology, demography, and geography.

Creativity has become very fashionable today. A lot is said and written about it and it looks nice on a CV. But is it easy to be a creative person? And if we are not very creative, how can we become creative? You can find out how to awaken your creativity in this article.

How to become a more creative person?

To fulfill yourself as a creative person, you don't have to be someone famous at all. Nor do you have to be an artist. Creativity can manifest itself in any area of life and is available to everyone. It is not a specific talent, but an attitude towards reality and oneself. A creative person is open to new solutions, and experiments, and finds life great fun. One can be creative by sewing a costume for a child for a masquerade costume party, altering old pants, preparing original sandwiches, painting a room, writing a story, creating a blog, designing a journey... There is no limit.

Is it difficult to be creative?

Creative people need time to themselves, because their great ideas need to mature at some point. A person who lives in an eternal hurry, under the pressure of deadlines, under-slept and tired is not creative. Therefore, accept the fact that sometimes you will not meet some obligations or you will put off some things for later. Creative people are like that.

Creative Laziness

The flow state is a wonderful thing. You create something and you're so excited about it that everything else doesn't matter. You can only talk about it and you lose yourself in it completely. It's addictive. When this creative mood passes, it gets gray and sad. Fortunately, the inspiration comes back and we start creating again.

State of flow

Resistance is the enemy of creativity. You cannot succumb to it. If you want to be a creative person, you have to learn to deal with it. And it is impossible not to deal with it, it will always come back. In the form of discouragement, doubt, uncertainty. Lack of self-confidence often affects a creative person. Therefore, do not compare yourself with others and your work with the achievements of others. Just act and develop yourself. Everyone is unique in their way.

Overcome resistance

Charisma is this type of gift that some people made to the top layer. In effect Charisma makes people look more glorious than others. Those people who do care about their appearance do look very well in the drawing where social connection status is valuable. That's why everyone can work on their Charisma and make it sharper and more noticeable. This is an article about 5 Ways to Increase Your Charisma

5 Ways to Increase Your Charisma

"Charisma: the gift that can be found in the most unexpected (charisma-filled) objects and situations."

Quote:

By taking sufficient care of these two elements of our lives, we can increase our proficiency to achieve and sustain high endurance levels. If we have enough vitality, connections with other people will be much steadier. They can become powerful patterns that will increase many of your traits, which include your Charisma.

Good sleep and healthy food

Communication is not just limited to words. Our non-verbal language, or body language in general, also says a lot about each of us. Good habits are increasing your charisma containing gestures like using your hands to indicate and assist during verbal communication. This will give us more alternatives to get more out of our non-verbal communication.

Hands-free communication  

This tells us that it is essential to look directly into the eyes of our listeners. Building on this foundation, you can build smooth communication.

Making eye contact

It is about expressing oneself in a defined way. Usually - by intelligently modulating the characteristics, which we are presenting at the time. One way to acquire our Charisma is to improve a powerful inner world, a unique perspective of life. This cultural and personal experience makes it easier for us to connect with people of all kinds.

Inner wealth

If you manage to enter a field that you know well and that at the same time interests the other person, that's half the battle. And if, in turn, people see that you also care about their well-being and what interests them, it will be much easier for you to establish an understanding. It is for this reason that all dialogues and meetings will be more fluid and personal.

Empathy

Charyzma jest rodzajem daru, który niektórzy ludzie rozwinęli w sobie do wysokiego poziomu. Sprawia ona, że takie osoby są bardziej atrakcyjne dla innych.

Constructive criticism is a criticizing which is characterizing that person who is criticizing is explaining and also suggesting at the same time how to resolve the thing that is charged.

Constructive Criticism- What Is It? 

Constructive criticism assumes that the person giving it has chosen to talk about it because it wants to help the other in reaching the good or help to progress, as it is more experienced and would like to show the mistakes of the less experienced person to avoid repetition of those mistakes to happen again.

What does constructive criticism look like?

* Keep calm* Try to understand the criticism* Be open to new ideas* Remember that assertiveness is the key

How to accept criticism?

Constructive criticism assumes that the person giving it has chosen to talk about it because it wants to help the other in reaching the good or help to progress.

Constructive Criticism: What it is and How to Take it 

Learning is sometimes difficult and takes a lot of time. It is because your techniques are not proper. I can reassure you that if you put enough effort into learning new ways, you will see results in a brief period and be sure that knowledge will stay in your head for a long. You will learn more about more efficient Learning patches from this article.

Make learning simpler

Few people can sit with a book in their hands and learn effectively. His essential that you have prepared the place to work on your learning. A proper desk and comfortable chair are a good start. If you choose to learn, for example - in bed instead - you will think about relaxing, not learning, and will become less productive.

Arrange the learning environment first

Remember to clean and organize your desk before you will start learning. Leave there only a book, pen, and notepad. Try not to distract yourself from leaving the desk when working.

Keep your workplace simple

We all do have different focusing and memorizing. Some of us learn via listening and some by reading, for example. It would be best if you thought what’s the best way of Learning for you. If you are skilled in listening, it will be a hand for you to read quietly and learn from it. It’s your arm better in reading than listening. - marking up the content will be eye-catching.

Find your way of learning

Make notes from the insights of actual content. When you make notes, your brain focuses on the vital and side content. The handy way is to establish a numeration on crucial content points. It is also helping to make your knowledge more consistent. Organizing and reviewing notes before you go to sleep it’s also a good habit. It motivates your brain to memorize the side notes in crucial points.

Make Notes

Your brain should remember smaller chunks of written content (like one page per one key point) than massive notes put all together. It will motivate you by learning smaller parts and then adding more knowledge to the one you have gained already.

Group your content

Productive learning is not only gaining knowledge all the time - it is also about nighttime to allocate a break for your brain. You can be less effective when learning non-stop than when you arrange, for example, a walk to get some oxygen. Or a nap to let your brain wave information in the right part of it to then put your memorized knowledge “on a paper” during exams.
