What's Surprising About Surprises

What's Surprising About Surprises

What's Surprising About Surprises?  Oh, except for that very unfortunate trouble at the Gaza Strip between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas [which is now looming to be a full-blown WAR], and of course, EXCEPT for unfortunate accidents, incidents and unexpected problems arising from our [and our family's] health and medical conditions, SURPRISES should always be welcomed with open arms.  Surprisingly, NOT much is appreciated when it comes to SURPRISES๐Ÿ“—๐Ÿ“™๐Ÿ“˜

So, when do we welcome surprises?  WHEN we celebrate milestones.  WHEN we want to recognize our partner/spouse, family members or work colleagues for what they deserve.  WHEN any other non-relative deserves such positive feedback.  WHEN such surprises will be a VALUE-ADD to the motivation of someone๐Ÿ“Œ๐Ÿ“Œ๐Ÿ“Œ

On these days where pranks happen left and right, let's dissect as to what REALLY happens to us when a SURPRISE is sprung to us?  TED inspirational speaker Tania Luna said that when people get SURPRISED by something or someone, our human brain goes through that "SURPRISE SEQUENCE".    To quote Tania, "It is a strong neuro alert that tells us that something is important about this moment and we have to pay attention.  Our cognitive resources are then HIJACKED and pulled into the moment๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿ’ 

Studies showed that SURPRISES caused humans to "PHYSICALLY FREEZE" for 1/25th of a second.  After humans freeze, SURPRISES will trigger something in the brain that Luna calls "FIND", a moment that causes humans to generate extreme curiosity in an attempt to figure out what is happening during a SURPRISE✅✅✅

Studies show that when we are SURPRISED [for better or worse], our emotions intensify up to 400 percent, whew that's a quantum leap!  And if we're SURPRISED with something positive, we'll feel more intense feelings of happiness or joy than we normally would.  So, even if some of us would hate SURPRISES, let's admit that there are SURPRISING insights about SURPRISES worth thinking❗❗❗
