How rest is essential to self motivation and ‘flow’ Procedure: Consistent alternation between a resting protocol (e.g. mindfulness) and the pursuit of meaningful behavior will increase motivation and positive affect (arousal and pleasure). Explanation: Resting elicits opioid activity, or feels pleasurable, and meaningful behavior, as defined as behavior that has branching novel and positive outcomes (writing that great novel or just making the bed) elicits dopamine activity which causes arousal. The awareness of subsequent meaningful behavior while engaging in relaxation protocols such as mindfulness elicits a ‘priming’ response, namely dopamine release that increases opioid activity, and vice versa, making meaningful behavior seem self-reinforcing or ‘autotelic’. This procedure can be derived empirically, demonstrated personally, and emerges logically from an analysis of peak or ‘flow’ experiences.

Openness to Experience can subdivide into two components of: Openness proper and Intellect. In terms of IQ Openness is most associated with Verbal Intelligence, according to De Young and Peterson.
Wow what a great presentation.
But truly how you presented it is the gem.
Absolutely love this!

🖤
But openness to experience isn't closely correlated with intellect?
actual experience is the birthplace of understanding and true knowledge, not to be confused by its wannabe little brother... Theory

You call that "skilled" and "professional" improvising?!? Great video though!
