With the war going on against Russia and Ukraine today in 2023, by ‘calling the war a war, or using the word "invasion" in Russia, you could get arrested. The word ‘war’ is banned under the law. It was implemented as anti-war protests across the country resulted in at least 15,000 people being arrested6’.

The extent to which authority figures in these examples affect one’s individuality and imagination is massive, and demeaning. As soon as one person starts to act differently/ stand up for themselves or does something out of choice, a new regulation is forced upon them, prohibiting said liberation.

Bad sleeping habits, overeating, basting headphones, a poor social life, lack of sun and physical activity harm your neurons

Neurons in a single person’s brain

Steps to rewire the brain & activate neuroplasticity:

1500 new neurons are generated in the hippocampus everyday

Our brains are neuroplastic meaning the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural pathways throughout life and in response to experiences we can alter our nervous system’s behaviours, immunity and responses, as well as our beliefs about ourselves and the world to be more positive
