Aliquots & Experiments: Motivation!
Stuart & Seena Haines
We are pharmacists and university professors. We have a passion for teaching and learning. Over the past decade we’ve become increasingly interested in the science of happiness and the therapeutic benefits of mindfulness, meditative practices, and yoga. Our mission is to help people and communities achieve a sense of well-being
In the latest aliquot & experiments, we examine the forces that motivate us. You can bolster your internal motivation by creating a "DONE" list; taking action within 5 seconds; using WOOP to create a plan; and surrounding yourself with supportive messages and music.

Quote to Contemplate
Research has shown that of all forms of human motivation the most effective one is progress. Why? Because a small, concrete win creates momentum and affirms our faith in our further success.

You are cranking good stuff. I am proud to acquaint friends with your work. I keep hoping that the shift in general education will follow this line. Long overdue and does not have an expiration date; like so many fact-based instructions. Rj the DAD up Maine.
