Your brain holds the ultimate power that invented electricity, the telephone, the Internet, and millions of other scientific marvels. Knowing each and every detail about this powerhouse isn’t easy, so let us look at those amazing things about your brain that you should be aware of.
A Multitasking Myth
- Only 2% of human beings can multitask efficiently. This is because the human brain cannot process information from two different sources at the same time.
- The tasks that you regularly perform become a part of your subconscious mind.
- This makes it even easier and faster to switch between the two tasks. The transition is so dynamic that you would feel like you’re multitasking.
Rewire Your Brain
- If you like to learn something new or to give up an old bad habit, you can do that in just 3 to 4 weeks.
- Once you visualize what you want and identify the beliefs that support your intention, you just need to take actions that’ll rewire your brain as per your preferences.
Laughing Is Good for Brain
- Research showed that laughing literally improves your mental health as it releases the feel-good hormones, namely dopamine and serotonin, in your brain.
- Laughing also helps in decreasing pain while improving the resiliency of your body by releasing endorphins in your brain.
Placebo Sleep
- A placebo is something that seems to be a real treatment, but it isn’t. It is effective only because of the patient’s belief in the treatment.
- Similarly, you can easily fool your brain into believing that you’ve had enough sleep, even when you haven’t.
Attraction Towards Negativity
Your brain is inclined toward negative thoughts. Though you don’t need to be that attentive anymore, your brain still pays more attention to something that may harm you in the future.
