Mental Capacity: Understanding Your Limits and Knowing When Enough is Enough By Colleeno Chippy What is Mental Capacity? Mental capacity is the ability to understand, process, and make decisions based on information. It involves cognitive functions such as memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and emotional regulation.

Signs That Your Mental Capacity is Reaching Its Limit Knowing when enough is enough is crucial for maintaining mental health. Here are some common signs that you may be pushing your limits: 1. Constant Fatigue – Even after a full night’s rest, you feel mentally drained. 2. Difficulty Concentrati...

Rewiring My Mind: A Personal Journey into Neuroplasticity and Mental Health By Colleeno Chippy Introduction The other night, while unwinding in front of the TV, I stumbled upon a program discussing neuroplasticity. The concept—that our brains can reorganize and adapt throughout our lives—captivated me. It resonated deeply, especially as I’m currently exploring themes of mindset transformation in my writing. This serendipitous encounter inspired me to delve deeper into neuroplasticity, particularly its profound impact on mental health.
