Love it or hate it, the frenzy is back! that of all of our senses, it is the sense of smell that has the strongest link to our ?
Turns out when we are blindfolded and have our nose plugged, we can’t taste the flavours of a pumpkin spice latte. Anyone who has had a head cold can attest to flavours being muted. But keep the blindfold on, unplug the nose and voila..the wafting combination of cinnamon, cloves, allspice and nutmeg creates memories that for many people, are associated with warm, cozy, happy times.
However, scents can be a trigger too. Check out our blog at www.vrpathways.com called “The Science Behind our Pumpkin Spice Obsession” to learn how our links scents to memories and how scents can affect our .

that the brain processes between 6,000 to 70,000 per day- depending on what research you look at. That’s a pretty big discrepancy but seems to come down to what is considered a “thought”. The tools used to measure thoughts are based on neural activity in the brain. But a thought is more than a single entity. If you think of a visit to a beach in Mexico, it’s comprised of many sensory inputs. The colours of the sky and water, the feeling of the sand on your feet and the wind on your face, the sounds of the water lapping on the shore. So is that 1 thought or 100? It makes sense that there is a discrepancy. The real point is- your processes a lot in 24 hours.

Interestingly, of all your thoughts, your brain holds on to the negative ones more easily. It’s a primitive-survival instinct to keep us on our toes in the face of danger. But we aren’t supposed to stay there. Negative thoughts can become triggers and eventually, creating thought ruts guiding our day.

The good news is the brain can change.

What’s on your gift list this Christmas?

World Mental Health Day is a chance to talk about mental health, how you look after it, and how you view it.

This year ask yourself, “what is the contribution I can make to reduce the stigma of mental health in my own life and in the lives of others?

Breathe deeply and take time to enjoy the beauty that surrounds you. Happy Thanksgiving!

Did you know your brain is wired to focus on the negative before the positive? To break this habit focus on the things you’re grateful, your wins and your strengths this is called the practice of Notice-Shift and Rewire!

Tell yourself it’s going to be a really, really good week!

The favourite part of our job is recording new material for inside VRBrain. Just another day in the life of Leanne and Danielle

You don’t need to figure everything out today or next month. If it doesn’t feel right, hit the reset or refocus button as many times as you need to, if that’s what it takes to find your purpose in life.

Is your weekend a separate entity or a continuation of the week? Do something for YOU this weekend!

Saying no is not a well-developed skill. We have long histories of complying with authority figures. Here are a few ways for you to keep your sanity and learn to say NO with grace

What a great way of redesigning the way we think.
