The Brain on Love

A RELATIVELY new field, called interpersonal neurobiology, draws its vigor from one of the great discoveries of our era: that the brain is constantly rewiring itself based on daily life. In the end, what we pay the most attention to defines us. How you choose to spend the irreplaceable hours of your life literally transforms you. All relationships change the brain — but most important are the intimate bonds that foster or fail us, altering the delicate circuits that shape memories, emotions and that ultimate souvenir, the self. Every great love affair begins with a scream. At birth, the brain starts blazing new neural pathways based on its odyssey in an alien world. An infant is steeped in bright, buzzing, bristling sensations, raw emotions and the curious feelings they unleash, weird objects, a flux of faces, shadowy images and dreams — but most of all a powerfully magnetic primary caregiver whose wizardry astounds. Olimpia Zagnoli Brain scans show synchrony between the...

Compare Yourself To Other People? Here’s A Better Solution!

Growing up I experienced so much anxiety it stunted my self-confidence. This caused me to feel so frustrated at my perceived failures I continuously beat myself up about it. I would look around at other people and think, “Why couldn’t I be like them?” Why couldn’t I be smarter? Why wasn’t I better looking? Why did I have no friends? Did I fit in? Will they like me? These are the types of thoughts that lead you to a whole lot of pain and suffering. This type of thinking does not need to happen, and I’m here to show you how to change your perception. Changing this can help you develop yourself to the point where you have little or no social anxiety, you are able to come up with realistic creative solutions to the problems you face, you can learn to see yourself as a fluid person and not a static being.

The Surprising Truth About Rejection

Yes, it was scary and vulnerable and the events I describe are kind of fucked up, but I did it for a good reason: I want to take the stigma of rejection and bullying out of our culture’s collective closet. We each have our own stories of experiencing rejection. Some of them involve bullying, and others are merely a moment in time we put ourselves out there—we were vulnerable—and things didn’t work out how we wanted them to. And it likely hurt us and caused real pain. I know it did for me. Tony Robbins says the two deepest human fears are the fear of not being good enough and the fear of not being loved. Experiencing rejection validates both of these. Our fear of rejection causes us to feel shame and pushes us to hide away. It dampens our own brilliance. Do we share it with anyone? NO WAY! That would make us look weak and vulnerable. We keep our rejection a secret because we think it makes us unlovable. We’re afraid if we tell others, they’ll laugh at us, judge us, and m...

Virginity

The three most horrifying words that could possibly come out of a girl’s mouth, forcing your erection to drop down from a hard eight inches to a soft four faster than you can mouth out “Blow job.” The words that determine whether your night will consist of bed squeaks, and condom wrappers, or a bottle of lotion and a garbage full of tissues. Those three simple syllables, creating a whole new view of the hot girl right in front of you… “I’m. A. Virgin .” Her words bring you closer to tears than your favorite football team did when they lost the Super Bowl and you’re more frustrated than you were when Katy Perry didn’t show any cleavage during the halftime show. “Why?!” you wonder. “Why does this hot girl I wanted to bang have to be a virgin!” Well boys, I have a question for you: Why are you so afraid of taking a girl’s virginity? For whatever reason, guys assume that every virgin is a time bomb waitingto...

KENYAN MEN: What We Want

Ask a single woman in Kenya why she is still single even though she seems to have almost everything a man would want in a woman – physically attractive, intelligent, a good career – she will most probably cite scarcity of good men as her chief reason. A survey released last week by consumer market research firm Ipsos-Synovate, shows that 44 per cent of women dislike infidelity among men. (It is difficult to judge whether this is a surprising result or not. That women dislike infidelity in men is surely no surprise. That under half of the women surveyed said so is a surprise, isn’t it?). The same survey however, registered 45 per cent of men saying they hate indecent dressing among women. GOOD MEN ARE HARD TO FIND… The Kenya Forum is not sure what can be done regarding the infidelity of men but if the above findings are anything to go by, women might just have to reconsider the agenda behind their dressing and attitude to the Kenyan male if they want to hold on to ‘a good one’...
