A Quick Way To Overcome Addiction
Welcome back to the Tamed Course! We recently came across an idea that has changed the way we look at building habits. This idea makes it easier for you to stick to good habits and avoid bad ones. We call it the "nothing rule." How does it work? Well, when you go to the gym and have an intense workout where you push your body to its limits, you'll probably feel pretty sore for the next couple of days. But when this soreness comes around, you don't feel bad about it; you actually feel kind of good, right? Even though it literally hurts to get out of bed and move, you feel good because you know that you put in a lot of effort during the workout, and now your body is rebuilding itself back stronger. You know that this type of pain is part of the strengthening process.

What causes insomnia? - Dan Kwartler
What keeps you up at night? Pondering deep questions? Excitement about a big trip? Or is it stress about unfinished work, an upcoming test, or a dreaded family gathering?

Is marijuana bad for your brain? - Anees Bahji
In 1970, marijuana was classified as a schedule 1 drug in the United States: the strictest designation possible, meaning it was completely illegal and had no recognized medical uses. For decades, this view persisted and set back research on the drug's mechanisms and effects.

What is depression? - Helen M. Farrell
Depression is the leading cause of disability in the world. In the United States, close to 10% of adults struggle with depression. But because it's a mental illness, it can be a lot harder to understand than, say, high cholesterol. One major source of confusion is the difference between having depression and just feeling depressed. Almost everyone feels down from time to time. Getting a bad grade, losing a job, having an argument, or even a rainy day can bring on feelings of sadness. Sometimes there's no trigger at all. It just pops up out of the blue. Then circumstances change, and those sad feelings disappear.

Neighborhood Bonds - Marco's Act
A bright early morning, I sit by the fountain taking comfort in the tune of nature. This harmony is broken by a loud rumbling of a car. Looking around for the disturbance, I saw Ms. Sophie, who had just parked the car. Judging by the bags she was taking out I think she just went for early morning grocery shopping.

What causes panic attacks, and how can you prevent them?
The body becomes its own corset. Past, present, and future exist as a single force. A swing without gravity soars to a terrifying height. The outlines of people and things dissolve. Countless poets and writers have tried to put words to the experience of a panic attack—a sensation so overwhelming, many people mistake it for a heart attack, stroke, or other life-threatening crisis.

Childhood Trauma and the Brain | UK Trauma Council
Brain development is much more than a story about biology. From the earliest years, relationships with others play a key role in shaping how our brain grows and develops. Early relationships where there is abuse and neglect have a long-term impact on children. A brain that has adapted to survive in a threatening or unpredictable world may not work so well in an ordinary environment.
