When your motivation to practice meditation and mindfulness is waning, a great way to get back on track is to learn more and get in touch with the myriad benefits of looking after your mind. As an added bonus, when we learn new information or skills, we actually improve the functioning and health of our brain – so even by watching these TED talks you’ll be doing your brain a favour.

 

Once you know something, you can’t ‘un-know’ it so make knowledge your super power and be inspired by these six ground-braking TED talks as you create a vital mind:
