Indulge in new experiences"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>There are times in our lives when we have reached our limits and we want a change. Transformation, however, is far from an easy process. It requires inner strength, while as researchers report, it clearly requires an active approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does this mean? Often, after an unpleasant event, from something that stigmatized us and caused us negative emotions, we need to bounce back. Perhaps, again, we have reached an impasse in one of the areas of our life, perhaps nothing is going well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a recent study published in the scientific journal Journal of Positive Psychology (&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/334822458_Engaging_in_Personally_Meaningful_Activities_is_Associated_with_Meaning_Salience_and_Psychological_Well-being\">Engaging in Personally Meaningful Activities is Associated with Meaning Salience and Psychological Well-being<\/a>&#8220;), it was found that people who were in such a phase of life and psychology and actively engaged in new activities showed a 47% increase in their well-being score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study also showed that, on the other hand, those who simply desired change without doing anything about it did not show any improvement. As the researchers noted, transformation requires action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the time has come for change and renewal, we usually understand it. But this is a long way from making this personal transformation a reality. It requires perseverance and goal setting. It requires small and steady steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some changes happen on their own, but they are the result of chance, so we do not go through life assuming that they will happen. In fact, the most likely thing is that even if they do happen, they may not happen to everyone at the moment they want them and may not always perfectly suit their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When we do the same, the same thing happens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have to change things in order for our lives to change. And we are talking literally. It is good to engage in something new, different, that will lead us to new unexplored paths, getting us out of the dead end we are probably in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is good for our brain to find new paths, so that it can begin the exciting process of transformation. This is something that is also confirmed scientifically, since a study published in the scientific journal Neuroscience &amp; Behavioral Reviews reports that brain imaging was used to prove that when we actively engage in new experiences, our neural pathways are reshaped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This study showed that participants who combined multiple transformation approaches experienced three times more positive brain changes than those who remained passive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What helps with inner transformation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many stimuli can inspire us. Read below some ways that are likely to help you open your horizons, feel beautiful or realize important meanings, so that you are slowly guided towards transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Books:<\/em> When you choose the right book, your mind, heart and soul open up. And when these are open, healthy change is inevitable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Movement: <\/em>When you swim, run or do yoga, your body feels alive. Endorphins explode in your brain.
