How visualisation sets you up for success by changing your cognition The vividness of your mind’s eye isn't fixed - and training it up is the secret tool of top athletes and businesspeople. Here’s how you can help develop yours

Another good article on how visualization (or the placebo effect) can help you improve your cognition.

Bonilla a La Vista are, in my opinion, far better. That said, the Torres chips are also very good. I recommend trying the Manchego-flavored ones.

After months of reading only non-fiction, I decided to take a break and enjoy this quick read during a brief escape to Maine! It offers a fascinating history inspired by the Many-Worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics and also highlights aviation, which made it even better!

What do #Quantum #Physics, seemingly random chance events, a fascinating new perspective on the brain-mind relationship, and the experiences of clinically hypnotized individuals who have progressed to future lives have in common?

More than one might expect...

Why did humans evolve big brains? A new idea bodes ill for our future Recent fossil finds suggest that big brains weren't an evolutionary asset to our ancestors but evolved by accident – and are likely to shrink again in the near future

An interesting and thought-provoking article about the evolution of the brain, its size, and the theories on why it began to shrink millennia ago—possibly triggered by social and “technological” advances.

Experiment with 37 dimensions shows how strange quantum physics can be A search for particles’ most paradoxical quantum states led researchers to construct a 37-dimensional experiment

As Zhenghao Liu puts it, “This experiment shows that quantum physics is more nonclassical than many of us thought. It could be that, even 100 years after its discovery, we are still only seeing the tip of the iceberg.”

Welcome to Bluesky! Enjoy NYC!

I read the book when it came out. Absolutely fascinating! Highly recommended!

That should be the goal. Of course, you’ll still see posts from the accounts you follow regardless of their language. However, on other feeds like “Discover”, posts should align with your language preferences.

Happy to finally have this book in hand! I had to order it twice since the first copy got lost in the mail... or maybe it never collapsed into particle form and remained in its wave state instead...

La darrera vegada que vaig veure aquesta inscripció va ser a una casa que havia estat propietat de Terenci Moix.

Here are some books I’ve recently read. Whatever your thoughts, beliefs, or points of view, the ideas in these books will force you to reflect on and reconsider many pre-established notions. Definitely worth reading!

A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #742,582, Josep Bellès ‪@josepbelles.com‬, joined on Aug 26, 2023"

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #742,582!

I just finished reading The Circadian Code by Dr Satchin Panda. It's a must-read for anyone interested in optimizing how their body and brain function! Key takeaways include the importance of proper sleep, light exposure, time-restricted eating, and physical activity.

I just finished 'The Self-Aware Universe' by Amit Goswami, Ph.D. It's truly fascinating, exploring quantum mechanics, consciousness, and the relationship between our brain and mind. This thought-provoking read posits consciousness as the primary element in understanding the universe.

Over the past couple of months, I've been immersing myself in the work of Dr Joe Dispenza. It's been both a thought-provoking and an eye-opening journey. I would strongly recommend everyone give it a try. The benefits you can get from it are worth your time!

Consequently, a lack of novelty in our lives can lead to a hardwired connection to our own thoughts. This makes embracing change very challenging. (2/2)

When we consistently expose ourselves to the same environment and daily stimuli over extended periods, our brains rely on familiar neural pathways established from past experiences. This reinforcement strengthens existing associative networks, anchoring us to habitual thought patterns. (1/2)

Each thought and action reaffirms the neurological pathways that define 'you.' So, how many of these #thoughts are genuinely positive and hold the potential to yield positive outcomes? (2/2)

Here's my #ThoughtOfTheDay: Have you ever considered what occupies the majority of your mental rehearsal, thoughts, and eventual actions? Whether consciously crafted or unconsciously formed, our thoughts and behaviors continually shape our sense of self. (1/2)

Nowadays, it seems that we frequently find ourselves consumed by material possessions. These possessions or external events serve to strengthen the ego, relying on the surroundings to reaffirm one's identity. To evolve, it is crucial to disrupt this cycle.

And if you aspire to shape a new chapter in your future, you must refrain from unconsciously anticipating a predictable future rooted in familiar memories of the past. (2/2)

Here's my #ThoughtOfTheDay: To address challenges in your external environment, it's essential to move beyond your memories and the associated emotions tied to those challenges. (1/2)

We constantly find ourselves bound by self-imposed limitations, believing that external factors are necessary to transform our internal state. This is exemplified by advertising, where an ongoing reliance on and consumption of external stimuli is promoted as the key to happiness and improvement.

Here's a thought: The stress we experience when we feel unsafe and threatened is not necessarily about the event itself but the result of unmanaged emotional reactions to the event.

Here's a thought: In today's world, it often seems like we inadvertently lean towards finding reasons to reinforce our right to be annoyed rather than actively seeking the joys that contribute to a positive mental space. Let's strive to cultivate reasons for happiness and well-being instead.

The majority of what forms our adult identity, around 95%, is shaped by repetitive habits, where the body essentially becomes the mind, running on subconscious programming. In contrast, only 5% of our identity is consciously directed.

Reacting to conditions, or threats, in our external environment triggers the release of stress hormones, which moves the body out of balance.

Here's a thought: When facing adversity, the first problem you have to deal with is your own reaction. The only permanent solution to your problems is to let go of the part of you that seems to have so many problems with your personal reality. After that, you can deal with what's left.

Here's a thought: If how you think and feel creates your personal reality, then by consistently thinking and feeling the same as yesterday, you're reaffirming the same life. So it's not just your personality creating your personal reality, but rather, your personal reality shaping your personality.
