Up: [[Curiosity]] Related: [[Place]] Created: 2023-07-12 If you’re wondering how to stimulate [[Curiosity]], viewing art is one way. Neuroimaging studies show that viewing art sends blood to parts of the brain associated with risk taking, stimulating us to learn new things. And art also works with the theory of [[Approach-Avoidance Motivation Affects Thought]] because art can give us pleasure and elevate happiness so it is part of approach motivation. To use it for motivational purposes, have art in your home that inspires your personal passions. Such as vintage movie posters if you write screenplays, or a bust of Einstein if you’re into physics. And, of course, your own art if you make art. > [!User] Donald Rattner in *My Creative Space*
