Sharing is More Than Caring
MOTIVATION
We've all heard the saying that "sharing is caring", but I just found out today from an article Business Insider that sharing your information publicly does much more than show that you care. It activates the brain regions associated with motivation and reward. It almost sounds to good to be true, but I am certainly going to put it to the test
So, next time you feel in need of a bit or motivation, why not just hop on to WA and share some information on your blog or in the chat or even better create a training to help others reach their dreams that little bit faster?
REWARDS
I love giving myself little rewards - don't you? So how could we activate the brain region associated with rewards? Well maybe instead of reaching for the chocolate each time we feel that we deserve a reward, we should try sharing some information publicly (ofcourse if you are one of those slim people who can eat as much chocolate as you like maybe the reward part might not apply to you!).
GUILTY LITTLE SECRET?
Do you talk to yourself? - Go on, admit it if you do because I have a little bit of extra information just for you. In that same study they discovered that these areas of the brain that affect motivation and reward are also were active when we talk about ourselves without anyone listening. I don't know what you are telling yourself, but I am saying -"I am a money magnet, I am a money magnet" I'll let you know if it works lol.

I've never thought of sharing from this perspective and it makes complete sense! Thanks for the valuable insight!
Hey Hilary,
Well Done! This post covers a range of things that could be applied and actions are taken due to posts like this. Good Job.

Hilary,
I liked every piece from your article. From positive feeling , the self rewarding peace of chocolate up to speaking to myself . I even have upgraded my talking as I go to a large mirror and use it to congratulate the person I see or to share positive phrases to bring myself back to my life goals and that same person listens to everything . A trick that I learned from Louise Hay that it is fantastic so now I have a listener.
Thank you it was Great ,

You go, girl! Yes! We absolutely need to speak positive messages to ourselves. Our brain listens to what we feed it! Awesome post. You're a money magnet!
Posting does bring motivation as the community here is so positive it keeps me going and the motivation just happens. Yes I talk to my self and have found as most people I am my worst critic. Do others ever find yourself arguing with yourself?
