Ever feel like you wake up, do the things, help the people, eat, shower, sleep, repeat?

You’re not alone. That feeling is the inspiration for this insane idea; to build a virtual place where people can congregate daily, weekly, or frankly, whenever, to be inspired…to feel connected and inspired… to reestablish their spark.

We all go through it. Mundane days, bad news everywhere we turn, topped with this yearning for our next vacation. A vacation from our day to day. It’s kinda sad really when you think about it. But what if our day to day could be something bigger? What if we could wake up every day with the same unbridled enthusiasm for life as a puppy; wagging their tail vigorously from side to side, curious and awaiting the tiniest of life’s pleasures?

I aspire to be half as excited about life as my pup. Half as alert. Half as curious.

And so we’ll try this out. Gathering together to ignite that spark, learning something new each day. Pointing our brains in a direction of growth and excitement. Living our own vacation every day. Together. Wagging Minds will be a place to tune into to escape the mundane and learn something new. To relish in the basics of life.

The fun part about this idea is that it will combine art and science. We’ll learn some cool shit together, but when you learn something new, your brain actually changes. (Queue my science friends.) Ever heard that your brain is plastic? It means that it can be reformed and basically create new connections as you expose it to new things. When you learn something new, you can reduce stress too. The act of learning something new forms new connections in your brain, releasing dopamine, and leaving you feeling more fulfilled.
