The experience or feeling of beauty causes reactions in the brain's reward center and contributes to a feeling of well-being. The definition of beautiful is very broad and subjective. Research shows that the brain is activated in the same way when we contemplate a piece of art, a landscape or the view of an animal in its natural environment. Look for the beautiful around you!

Our prehistoric ancestors avoided any unnecessary effort to focus their energy on vital activities. Our instinct still drives us today to choose the most economical option when actually it is the activity that makes us happy.

To keep track of what has been discussed in your meeting, appoint in advance someone who will be responsible for drafting the report, summarizing the content of the discussions, and setting in stone the next steps and responsibilities / deadlines that have been formalized at the end of the meeting. And for your next event, why not securing the services of a graphic facilitator (a scribe) who will visually synthesize the session.
In 1781, Jacques Berthault gathered multiple plots of land in an estate where he created a picturesque garden, which was the fashion at the time. He erected several buildings there—an Hermitage, a fisherman’s bungalow, and an Obelisk—and diverted the nearby river to create a pond, which remains at the center of the park today.
Maintaining the same position, even ergonomic, for a long period causes muscle and joint tension which results in nervous and mental fatigue. This impacts the ability to concentrate, optimism, performance and creativity. As soon as signs of discomfort appear, the position should be changed without delay. Don't hesitate to get up and stretch regularly.
If you are a facilitator, include some ice-breaking stretching exercices from time to time.
