\nhas?<\/p>\n
You get a\u00a0new puzzle – what a joy, right? You can’t wait to put them all on the table and start assembling. Every assembler has his own system, what is yours? First you turn all the puzzle\u00a0pieces facing up or you first sort out the border pieces? Maybe the first task is to get a\u00a0glass\u00a0of nice wine to make the assembling even more fun \ud83d\ude42 Either way, puzzle is out of the bag, just\u00a0to go through them is so much fun! Sometimes you even find two pieces already connected,\u00a0what a\u00a0luck, right?<\/p>\n
Real happiness comes when you actually manage to connect the pieces yourself. This\u00a0happiness is no ordinary feeling and it causes a\u00a0lot of great changes in our head. When we\u00a0assemble we use both of our brain hemispheres. The left one analyzes the separate pieces,\u00a0shapes and colors and the right one is intuitively helping us to connect the dots into a\u00a0full\u00a0image. This hemisphere collab is extremely beneficial. When we connect two pieces, the\u00a0feeling of satisfaction and joy means that the dopamine is being created in our brain \u2013 and\u00a0that is a\u00a0very good thing.<\/p>\n
Science fun fact<\/strong> Brain yoga<\/strong> Assembling puzzle is an active brain meditation. We let go of all the distractions and focus on\u00a0what we are doing right now. We don’t think about work or tasks. Assembling allows us to\u00a0dive in to the present moment and enjoy the real joy in every small puzzle piece.\u00a0One of the reasons why we experience such a\u00a0relax euphoria while assembling is the\u00a0hemisphere collaboration. This internal brain communication allows us to get from the beta\u00a0state \u2013 awake mind, to alfa state \u2013 state of mind similar to dreaming. Alfa state is the place\u00a0where we are able to enter our subconscious. Even though it may seem unbelievable and\u00a0complicated, it’s a real deal. Puzzle assembling naturally causes this state of creative and\u00a0focused meditation.<\/p>\n To play and have fun is extremely important both for kids and adults. And fun game that will\u00a0make us smarter, internally younger and relaxed is really worth it. Puzzles create amazing\u00a0space for an active brain relax full of incredible benefits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Puzzle assembling is mostly fun, but did you know how many secret benefits this clever games has?

\nDopamine is a\u00a0neuron transmitter and plays an important role for the functions of human\u00a0brain. It helps to control our emotional reactions like happiness, stress or anxiety. It’s\u00a0also\u00a0important for creating energy for body functioning. It stimulates the heart, controls the\u00a0informational flow that goes through our brain, controls movement and allows us to\u00a0experience feelings of joy, passion and excitement.\u00a0In case we lack dopamine we can feel depressed, drowsy or suffer from insomnia. Dopamine\u00a0deficiency causes only trouble, like inability to cope with stress, problems to focus, overall\u00a0grumpiness, caffeine and sugar cravings.\u00a0Thanks to puzzle assembling and riddle solving our brain gets the training it needs and the\u00a0dopamine is naturally created. We are improving our memory, ability to focus and to learn \u2013\u00a0very important benefits for both kids and adults.<\/p>\n
\nSince both of our hemispheres are active while assembling, they exchange information and\u00a0therefore assembling supports logical and creative thinking. This brain yoga even serves as\u00a0prevention against Alzheimer’s or dementia. And all of this is possible mostly thanks to the\u00a0dopamine, which is basically a\u00a0youth elixir for our brain.\u00a0Traditional yoga merges mindful movement and meditation. Puzzle is the very same thing for\u00a0our brain. You must know the feeling when you are so into assembling that you don’t even\u00a0know what time is it, nor you care that you need to wake up early the next morning but you\u00a0have to find one more piece?<\/p>\n
