It's Mind Change Monday!Your hippocampus is a seahorse-shaped area in the middle of your limbic system. It's involved in emotional regulation, learning new things, and determining whether something is a threat. Today, we're going to learn how to take the long path to peace, train our limbic systems to help us instead of hurt us, and feed those hungry, hungry hippocampi better stuff to help us become healthier, feel better, and be happier.
