“Somatic movement begins with the act of sensing. It asks us to feel before deciding, to notice before acting”, writes Anne Jablonski, a yoga teacher in Virginia, US.

Neuroscientists have discovered that handwriting does far more than put words on paper , it strengthens the brain itself. When you write by hand, dozens of regions in your brain light up, forming deep neural connections responsible for memory, focus, and comprehension.

In contrast, constant typing or scrolling on digital screens activates far fewer areas. Over time, this reduces cognitive engagement, weakens recall, and even affects how we think. Writing by hand forces the brain to slow down, process information deeply, and retain it longer. That’s why students who take handwritten notes consistently outperform those who rely on laptops.

Experts warn that as screen time rises, we risk losing the mental sharpness that handwriting once nurtured. The rhythmic motion of pen on paper isn’t just nostalgic , it’s neurological training for creativity and intelligence.

So pick up a pen. Reconnect your thoughts to your hands, and let your brain grow stronger with every stroke.

Cold water immersion is not about proving how long you can suffer (if you know someone in doubt). Being tougher is a misunderstanding on how to use it as a tool for your health.
It’s about training your nervous system and metabolism to return to balance — faster and efficient.

In the water, your body says “This is hard. Get out.”
But when you stay a little longer, with calm breathing, you’re teaching your brain: stress is safe, and I can recover. But remember: Less is more, especially in cold water.

That skill transfers to daily life — from handling conflict to public speaking.

Tip: Focus on slow exhales, and finish feeling calm.
