I'm looking forward to your next post that elaborates further on using further types of changes as stimulus. In fact, I may need to borrow your tip on moving to a new room to write (to be honest, I'm pretty sure I've read that tip somewhere before, but when you couple it with an explanation of how the hippocampus works it gives me extra motivation to go out and make it happen! Your words in action. Interesting.) Keep it up! Thanks for the insights, Patrick! I’m looking forward to your next post that elaborates further on using further types of changes as stimulus.

What we often miss out on is taking action. It's also funny that we are moved to take action only when our situation becomes dire. Mostly, we choose to sail along, never truly happy but preferring to keep repeating the same behavior and getting the same unsatisfactory results.

I am a true believer of learning from doing. The good part about learning that way seems to be the fact that I forget the "bad" and seem to remember only the "good" ... I love your explanation - once something bad happens in my life, I try and try until I figure out how to set things right - and I fail a lot - but then I finally get it right - and what lingers on is the good stuff - the self-developed life hacks - tried, tested and true. I am loving your blog Patrick! Patrick,
