ALIGNING PERSONAL VALUES WITH LIFESTYLE CHOICES FOR A BALANCED BODY AND MIND! Please note that this is an on-site workshop April 13th 9.00 -12.30 (including lunch) The mind and the body are closely connected and this workshop takes a deeper dive into the effects that neuroscience has on our daily life. When we do not live in tune with our personal values, we create tension both in our mind and in our body, through biochemistry. Values are strong forces that can cause powerful internal (and external) conflicts. This impacts our general level of stress (cortisol), motivation and drive (dopamine), life satisfaction (serotonin) and relationships (oxytocin). We will discover how optimize our biochemistry from the outside in: by creating an environment that aligns with our personal values. Finally, we will discover how gratitude works based on research and neuroscience and what is the best way to practice it. This is a 3 hour in-person workshop (9.00 - 12.00) with lunch following the workshop Together we will:
