Change Your Life In Just 10 Minutes!

Do you believe that just 10 minutes of your time can change your whole life? Famous actress Goldie Hawn does! She has designed a curriculum for parents and their kids as a holistic way of raising optimism and awareness.

 

The ideas behind the program are applicable to everyone. Learn how you can become more self-aware and reduce stress with Goldie Hawn’s three golden rules for changing your life in just 10 minutes:

 

 

Stress negatively affects the brain. When you feel stressed out, your brain goes into emergency-mode and shuts energy away from the areas tied to learning and memory. Recognize when this happens and give yourself a mental break with focused breathing or meditation.

 

Studies have shown that people who meditate increase the density of certain areas of their brains. If you can’t meditate, try listening to music or staring at a wall. The break will help you see things more clearly and reduce stress.

 

 

Focusing on a specific taste or a smell helps strengthen critical networks in the brain, which improves decision-making and helps to regulate your moods. Goldie slows down her brain by blindly tasting jelly beans. She pinches her nose and guesses the flavour by taste alone. She then repeats the exercise with only smell. Develop control over what you pay attention to by directing your focus.

 

 

As with exercising any muscle, you can grow your brain’s ability to care. Acts of kindness and empathy stimulate a release of dopamine called the “helper’s high.” This helps to improve memory, ease depression, and alleviate pain.
