Another post regarding my journey to my 1st Marathon. Once again I had to rise in the early AM and beat back that little voice trying to convince me to stop, quit, delay. Ha! I laugh in the face of adversity. I relish in struggle! If Pain is your Friend, you will never be lonely!

Researchers discovered that temporarily shutting down the prefrontal cortex in mice allowed them to adopt better, unlearned paths in a maze. This suggests that our active brain can sometimes hinder us from adopting new and improved methods, favoring learned ones instead. The findings imply that quieting our inner monologue might help us find better solutions.
Studs Terkel’s 1974 book ‘Working’ explored what people truly seek in their jobs beyond financial compensation, revealing a human desire for meaning, dignity, and recognition. This perspective is increasingly relevant today with the rise of AI and automation, prompting us to reconsider the inherent value of human work.
Many people struggle to identify specific emotions, often lumping them into a general ‘not feeling good’ category. This article highlights research suggesting that developing ’emotional granularity’—the ability to precisely name feelings—is a learnable skill that can lead to better emotional management and personal growth.

It highlights that people tend to remember peak moments and happy endings more vividly than the duration of discomfort, influencing their overall perception of an event.
