Happy Soul Food Friday!
This week:
Art is never finished, only abandoned.

Greetings!
Feeling a bit dysregulated?
Neuroscience Says Music Is an Emotion Regulation Machine. Here’s What to Play for Happiness, Productivity, or Deep Thinking:
Neuroscience shows music has big effects on our productivity, performance, and state of mind. Use that to your advantage.
What kind of headspace do you want to be in today?
Focused and productive as you tick through routine to-do list items?
Dreamy and creative? Happy and social? Contemplative? Analytical?
Whatever mood you’re aiming for, neuroscience says music can help.
The Best Music for Productivity, Happiness, or Studying

Why it’s time to rethink what happiness really means:
Explaining exactly what’s going on in our brains when we experience joy or pleasure remains frustratingly out of reach this year once again saw the publication of the annual World Happiness Report.
