Love Makes Better Bloggers
When Love Comes Back
Happiness is a physiological process which may enhance creativity. The happiness that comes from having your love returned is like a chemical elixir, pumping endorphins and other hormones through the brain, keeping neurons firing at top capacity. Neurons work with information, and the memories that are forming during the course of a good relationship are very strong creative enhancers.
Depth Works Both Ways
Ever wondered why it takes so long to get “over” a long-term relationship? That’s the depth of the neurological involvement showing its less-than-lovely side. As long as the relationship continues, however, that neurological development goes on at many different levels.
Empathy is an Excellent Challenge
We know that newborn babies who are unloved or separated from family because of illness or other misfortune suffer a low rate of neurological growth. Some mental processes, such as empathy, do not ever reach full development in the absence of maternal love in the first six months of life. Empathy, for example, is a prime ingredient in the writing of a great novel or short story. A fiction author cannot create compelling stories without being able to step into the shoes, minds and heart of their characters. This ability is called empathy. The bloggers who seeks big-time success must develop his sensitivity to his readership almost to the level of telepathy!
Images and Sound Enhance the Brain State (but you knew that!)
There is even a way to develop a mental state that is exhilarating in the way falling in love stimulates the brain. Realizing that you have this choice can lead to some fascinating experiments. You can experience what is called the “loving” brain through viewing a photograph of a beloved, through the use of music and dancing, through a commitment to selfless acts, and through simply contemplating this choice. Becoming more aware of love and positive experiences will also enhance the brain’s creative capacity. And inspiration, wherever you may find it, is a premium agent for development of the brain.
Blogging Makes Brains Grow
These physiological responses to information make it easy to understand why blogging is such a phenomenon. Available to just about anyone, the ease of communicating is fostering a torrent of imagery, storytelling, sharing, and general reaching out to the world. This mimics the brain’s activity when we work to understand something new. The neurons literally reach, stretching to the goal.
Fall in Love
Get inspired, fall in love, and share it. Tell me what is inspiring you right now. What is keeping you reaching for your goals? Is it love? Money? A desire for freedom or travel?

Nice blog, Suzanna. What keeps me reaching for my goal… what a great question! For me, it is the desire to share my book, “Opening the Gates of the Heart” with the world. The book was created by what I believe to be Divine guidance and is about my personal journey from fear and despair, through awareness and other growth steps, until I reach joy, serenity and peace. It is a book of 42 images/photos of wrought iron gates and inter-related prose. The message is, once we can learn to love, value and respect ourselves, we can love, value and respect others. That is what keeps me striving for my goal, to have the book published. I want the world to love, value and respect each other, so that is what I keep my eye on.
