RE: Today's Principle .....presented by Bleujay

Hello @bleujay,

Let's say that it was your post that motivated me to write this comment. So external stimulation helped 😉

I always like to combine the popular (proverbs), the divine, and science—to better reflect on whatever it may be.

Neuroscience tells us that motivation has a specific place in our brain, the Striatum.

It functions as a communications center. It is responsible for relaying commands from the prefrontal cortex (where decisions are made) to the basal ganglia (where movements and emotions arise).

Studies were conducted with several people who went to the doctor because they lacked motivation. There was a pattern among them: they all had tiny points of broken vessels in the striatum.

In another type of study, associated with emotional reactions—especially feelings of expectation or excitement—they concluded that the striatum is responsible for translating decisions into actions. In other words, when this region of the brain is not functioning at 100%, we have difficulty transforming our desires/decisions/thoughts into actions.

The good thing about these discoveries in neuroscience is that motivation is something that can be learned and perfected.

Our brain's ability to adapt to stimuli has proven that it is possible to develop our creativity. It has also been discovered that we can stimulate and develop our striatum and, consequently, our motivation.

Thank you for your motivation. Well, my striatum was at 30% today 😁
