If you want to stay energetic, creative and sane, try to change your habits.

​A few generations ago, people did not expect to live to 50 years. Fortunately, today most of us have a chance to live 20-40 years longer. However, over the years, the brain is more difficult to do its job.

​Sedentary lifestyle and bad habits bring harm to the whole body, including the brain. With age, the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease increases.

If you can't find the time to meditate, or meditation just is not for you, try to develop your mindfulness in a different way. This can be done at any time of the day, on the way to work or even in the bathroom.
​
​How often do we promise to live consciously, but we get distracted and forget about it during the day?

You need to learn how to manage your own time and use it effectively to realize all your desires. Try to find useful morning rituals for you. They set the tone for the rest of the day.
Before we start, I want to ask you something. Have you ever heard about the Stanford Marshmallow experiment?
It was held in the late 60's — early 70's under the guidance of psychologist Walter Michel, who later became a Professor at Stanford University.

Great news from the world of grey cells. My (and yours probably too) brain can be pumped like a bicep. And then our neurons will automatically produce happiness.
​
​So, well, or approximately so, arranged all in our head. Psychologist Rick Hanson told us what's really going on in your brain when you follow numerous expert advice on happiness.

I was first drawn to float tanks by stories I’d heard that sounded like mind-altering drug trips except the people telling them were completely sober. They were, quite simply, just floating on water. I had to try it and figure out for myself what made it a life-changing experience for so many.

Have you ever had the experience of full immersion into yourself, when you completely disassociate with your body and bodily sensations, not having to stop chaotic thoughts, because it happens naturally? Such results can be provided by the flotation process, which was discovered by Dr. John Lilly during his research into the field of sensory deprivation.​

People coming into the Araaragot Center for Harmonic Consciousness at 201 Brighton First Road can expect only one thing — to float. 
The center, nestled on a quiet Brighton Beach side street, offers the unique experience of flotation therapy in what Araaragot describes as a “unique one of a kind sensory deprivation cabin… specifically designed” to help those who immerse themselves in the experience to relax, heal and become in harmony with their environment.

Sven-Åke Bood from the Human Performance Laboratory at Karlstad University has concluded through research that a significant amount of relief can be had through regular isolation tank sessions. Three quarters of a 140 person test group experienced improvements in long-term conditions such as anxiety, stress, depression, and fibromyalgia. You can find these studies in Bood's dissertation Bending and Mending the Neurosignature: Frameworks of influence by floatation-REST.
