Did you know that positive thinking has a biological background? Read more about this here…
As you know, our brains are changeable and moldable. One of the important explanations for this malleability is that when nerve cells become active together, they connect with each other and form networks (“Neurons that fire together, wire together”). In short, dark and negative thoughts hook together and form "bad" networks and make us feel that negativity has the overhand. BUT frequently bringing positivity into life, on the other hand, forms positive networks that become anchored in our brain.
Result?
The world looks very different, and we are much more resistant to corona collateral damage if we focus on positive thoughts.
Regularly connecting with colleagues and share positive thoughts, can lead to solidarity, togetherness and collective well-being!
