Mindfulness Daily Check-In December 27, 2019

Happy Friday
. I hope everyone had a good week and holidays.
How are you feeling today?
In the following I like to share something about learning new skills.
For the brain acquiring new knowledge means permanent adaptation to a changing environment. Using this process our brain develops by rewarding its own attemps to absorb and process new information with the feel good hormone dopamine (unless medical condition).
We feel better, have less boredom, adaptation to changes becomes easier, decrease the possibility of developping dementia and much more.

@amiablePeace77 I am trying to think outside the box!

@soulsings lol
@RumpleSteeleSkin before someone can think outside the box they have to get out of the box lol.
@soulsings
🤣🤣I love it. OMG that was a good one!
@soulsings
But they mustnt leave their head in the box! Perhaps that means you are still trying!
Yes! I'm reading a few books at the moment and learning a lot from them... Still exchanging languages with many partners from around the world in my pursuit to become fluent in Spanish and learning loads from them, and am using lots of "out of the box" thinking during my apartment search that is just not fruitful here in expensive Miami. I'm always pivoting and trying new things, new strategies, new approaches, asking realtors and owners to bend over in new ways for me to get me in to places that I like that are overpriced... etc! You're right, it all does activate the dopamine feel good chemicals in me! Maybe that's why I haven't given up on the search here. Even though it's exhausting and frustrating, I'm mindful of how I feel and can't wait to get in somewhere good.
@onwardforevenmore
hi on! i'm curious about what you mean by places you like and you think you'll feel good, it is about the hardware and environment? or do you have other parameters? happy new year anyway and good luck to you! all the best for you!
@onwardforevenmore
Sorry to hear you're having difficulties to find an apartment. I can imagine that Miami is quite an expensive place being so popular and an attraction to tourists. Would moving to the outskirts be an option?
Here is a link which I found, maybe you find it helpful https://www.apartmentlist.com/
Practising language is awesome, heard that it is also classified as a kind of alzheimer's prevention.
