New studies into the link between positivity and brain health have resulted in a fundamental quiz. This innovative tool reveals insights into how the processes in grey matter create a calm, happy and contented brain. Collaborative research contributed to the creation of the question and answer quiz that zeros in on discerning the underlying building blocks of negative and positive thought processes and the connection to brain health.
The state of the art quiz consists of 9 panels with 4 pictures, and each panel involves a question specifically created by researchers, to detect the way the participant’s brain is wired, based on their response to questions regarding how they perceive the pictures. This process substantiates theories researched by Psychologists William A. Cunningham and Tabitha Kirkland, into the unclear mechanisms of happiness and well-being — their research states “One possibility is that the neural processes of trait happiness are the opposite of those involved in depression/anxiety: ‘rose-colored glasses’ cause happy people to focus on positive cues while remaining oblivious to threats”.
Fresh data from the age, culture and activity related questions included in the quiz — all strong influences on brain processes — will undoubtedly lead to new types of therapy to support positive brain health. Expert Dr. Richard Davidson shared his astonishing study results, which shows noticeable changes in the brain in just two weeks for participants who sit quietly and think about kindness and compassion for a half an hour every day.
Researcher Rick Hansen explains how the new test works, saying, “Happy people look for the positives in each experience and try to hold onto those.” The quiz also analyzes the effect of realistic happiness based on myths that promise happiness, explains researcher Sonja Lyubomirsky, who describes happiness myths as “myths that assure us that lifelong happiness will be attained once we hit the culturally confirmed markers of adult success. This restricted view of happiness works to discourage us from recognizing the upside of any life turn and blocks us from recognizing our growth and potential.”
Heather Cooper, community moderator for NextGen Nutritionals, a dominant influence on the health and wellness industry, shared her reaction to this research, and the new quiz. “At NextGen, we believe positive thoughts and attitudes lead to healthy emotions and activities that promote optimum health. Brain health is directly connected to physical and emotional health. With this newly increased emphasis on mental health in the community, we hope to see more people making the positive changes needed to gain control over their mental stability.”
