Do You Want Your Brain to Work Better? Here's How:

According to Dr. Richard Davidson, "Our personalities, thought patterns and emotional responses are wired into our brains". If your brain works well, your personality will be lovable, your thought pattern will be more impressive and your emotional responses will be more intelligent. So if you wanna learn how to improve your mental faculty and prowess, here's how. All these steps are as cited on Forbes, which is one of the most inspiring websites on earth.

1. Make your home and workplace more optimistic. Let your environment encourage your to be more positive.
2. Learn to express gratitude. Show people you are grateful whenever they do something for you.
3. Learn to compliment others. If you like what that lady's wearing, simply let her know. Compliment people. It will keep you positive and optimistic.
4. Do a mindfulness meditation. Become more self-aware. Choose a time when you feel the most awake and alert, sit upright, concentrate on your breathing, notice the sensations in your body and if you become distracted, simply bring your focus back to your breath.
5. Focus for 10 minutes a day. If you'd like to boost your focus and attention, Dr. Davidson recommends taking time every day for 10 minutes to sit in a quiet room with your eyes open, focus on an object (your desk lamp, a piece of art), keep your attention and eyes trained on it, and if your thoughts wander, bring them back to the object
6. Pay attention to body language. If you'd like to become more socially intuitive and good at dealing with people, Davidson suggests making an effort to watch people's body language while in public and try to guess what emotions they are expressing. Then, start to take notice of friends and colleague's facial cues and body language and how it corresponds to their tone of voice.
7. Identify emotional triggers. Identify the things or activities that trigger your emotional responsiveness. Think about them from time to time. This will motivate you to do your work better.
8. Visualize Compassion. Imagine yourself trying to ease someone's pain or see yourself walking in their shoes. This will help you to be more empathetic and more compassionate to others.
