PHILOSOPHY - Søren Kierkegaard

Why We Should Draw More (and Take Fewer Photos)

Our cameras make it so easy to feel we've captured what's important in the world. But to really appreciate what's around us, we might need to learn a weirder, less technologically-advanced skill: drawing. Enjoying our Youtube videos?

episode Regulating your Mood: Tips for Staying Present | The School of Life artwork

Regulating your Mood: Tips for Staying Present | The School of Life

Why is it so hard to regulate your emotions? Learn how to stay in tune with your mood and embrace emotional fluctuations. Read our article, ‘We are made of moods’ to find out more about your changing emotional states: https://www.theschooloflife.com/article/we-are-made-of-moods/ ?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=We%20are%20made%20of%20moods Our moods are affected by the smallest of changes – from fluctuations in our blood sugar content and serotonin levels, to whether or not our partner gave us a kiss before we left for work. In turn, our emotions condition almost every aspect of our behaviour: how we respond to events, react to challenges, and feel about ourselves. Understanding just how powerfully our emotional state impacts our thoughts and actions can help us manage those effects more readily – and build a more stable and forgiving relationship with ourselves. ☀️📚 About The School of Life: We are a passionate group of people on a mission to bring about healing, growth, calm and self-understanding. We derive our ideas from psychology, psychotherapy, philosophy, art and culture. As our name – The School of Life – suggests, we are here to teach people how life can be lived and what can make it truly worthwhile, effective and fulfilling.
