Ten Ways to Take Care of Brain Health

We can all probably can agree, the brain is the most essential organ of the human body. It only makes sense to make maintaining good brain function a top priority. Taking care of the brain has not ignited much attention in the past, however in today's time it has become exceedingly obvious there are great benefits in focusing on the health of our most vital organ.

Ten Ways to Take Care of Brain Health

Tap the Power of Your Mind

What if progressing toward your most monumental goals was as simple as acting like you'd already achieved them? Experts say it can be that simple. A single positive statement, repeated throughout the day, taps the power of your subconscious mind and energizes your spirit while propelling you toward your goals.

Tap the Power of Your Mind

A Tool for the Spirit

Journaling is a remarkable device for easing worry and obsession, for identifying hopes and fears and for allowing your creative self to expand, increasing your level of energy and confidence. It harnesses the power to tap into successively deeper layers of your subconscious mind while it zaps the nervous, passive energy that ties your stomach in knots and leads to more guilt and worry.

Journals are tools to help you discover the wisdom you already possess. Sometimes, this wisdom will surprise you. Other times, it will challenge you. Always, it will come directly from you, empowering you to trust yourself and to take action by giving you the deep-seated knowledge that you know more than you think you do.

A Tool for the Spirit

Examples of Embodied Spirit

When working with a client who is a serious body builder that regularly injured himself during his training I said to him "As we sit here now facing each other... Take a couple of deep breaths.... And let your body move... as it lightly feels some of its injuries...

As you move, let your body recall exactly how it has been injured at various times in the past.... And then at some point, freeze your body... Sit still... Feel your injuries.. And tell us what your body has learned from all of the injuries it has received."

After taking a few minutes to breathe and move his body the client froze and spoke these words, "I have come to understand that you don't really know what I am capable of and what is way beyond my means, and you don't even seem to really care. I feel like you are quite happy to punish me if it means that you might look better in front of others."

How Well are You Maintaining Your 'Creative Home'?

Taking care of ourselves, doing all we can to maintain our creative environments and abilities, is often the key to greater creativity. This means enabling you to increase creativity in terms of quality as well quantity.

Much like an old run-down house with poor central heating, rattling windows and a leaky roof, if you don't take care of yourself creatively -- and look after your Creative Home -- then slowly and steadily your creative energy will be wasted and you'll be frustrated and struggling to produce the kind of work you want to.

So here are five of the potential danger areas where your creative energy may be trickling, or gushing, away from your Creative Home, and how to combat them:

Affirmations - Do They Really Work?

Two years ago you couldn't get me to do affirmations to save my soul. The irony is; now I do them all the time to save my soul! And guess what? They do work and, when done purposefully - with heart and consistency, they do wonders.

When I was first introduced to the concept of affirmations I found I couldn't get past having to say something that I knew in my heart wasn't true, much less having to repeat it. I felt like I was lying. To me affirmations ranked right up there with platitudes. "Don't worry, be happy." Right. I'll get right on it.

How to Inventory Your Personal Assets

Have you ever noticed how, at this time of year, there are lists and lists circulating? You can find a list of the 20 best films, the 10 worst dressed people, the 50 most interesting books. In addition to spending some of your spare time reading through these lists, how about taking some personal time to create your own list -- of your 10 most important assets?

It may seem unusual for you, a member of the Sandwich Generation, to concentrate on yourself instead of on the needs of the family around you, but allow yourself to focus on and embrace your own development at this pivotal time.

Creating your asset inventory will give you a leg up on beginning the new year from a position of power, but how do you begin? To help you, here's a short list to help you focus on your assets - not the financial ones but the personal strengths you own. Use this process to discover some of your hidden passions. Reflect on your answers or discuss them with a trusted friend as you create an expanded sense of yourself.

How Do You Find ...
Your Calling In Life

What is important to know is you will never find that true satisfaction doing "just" what you want to do. There's something inside of all of us that says I've gotta do what that calling is on my life. What are the gifts and talents and abilities that have been given you in life? That will help you identify what your specific calling is.

How To Turn A Crisis into A Challenge

When a crisis hits - the end of a marriage, the loss of a job, or the death of a loved one - it throws you into a complete tailspin. Suddenly your world is no longer safe and secure. What can you do to pick up the pieces and take the first steps toward living a full life again?

You too can respond to a dramatic change by tapping into more optimistic thoughts and seeing the situation as a challenge. Create an opportunity to focus your energies and pursue your own dream. Change the negatives to positives as you choose your path. You may find that it is hard to get started and even more difficult to keep the forward momentum going. If you are finding yourself stalled and begin questioning your abilities to cope, implement these five important steps as you begin your journey.

10 Things Successful People Know

What do extraordinarily successful people know about life that you don't? Are they just a lot luckier, smarter, or harder working than you? Or is there something inherently different in the way that they approach life that propels them to unimaginable heights?

Five Surprisingly Hip Political Ideas From Plato

The smartest people take one look at political office and run the other way. Well, that may be smart, but it doesn't do much good when it comes to changing the world. We end up with leaders who have the power and money and ego required to win an election.

When It's Multicultural, and You Haven't a Clue

It happened again. I was asked to do a presentation for a business and the topic was to be "Memes and Emotional Intelligence in the Work Place."

Now I've been around a while -- well, let's say I'm a weathered veteran of the world-at-large -- and I know my field, Emotional Intelligence. I'm sure I "know" what this means, though I don't have a clue. I immediately agreed to do it, and I didn't ask.

As the time approached, I resisted looking up the word "meme". I realized I had right in front of me the perfect living example of multiculturalism, and I like to illustrate Emotional Intelligence situations in real time, as we all learn more.

Take Your EQ With You When You Travel Abroad

I just got back from a trip to Russia, and someone asked me for my impressions. What did I expect, not expect, etc.

There was a lot to process after this vacation, a river cruise on the waterways of the czars. We flew to Moscow, spending 3 days there, and then set sail up the Volga to St. Petersburg, stopping at villages, towns and islands along the way, where we spent 3 more days.

It wasn't really my first time out of the US, as I speak for cruise lines and have been all over the Caribbean. Thus I was familiar with ship travel, customs, and basic ship procedures.

How to Survive International Travel (and Thrive)

I recently returned from two weeks in Russia. We were on a guided tour, and well taken care of, including being warned as we left the River Cruise and the gentle country villages to enter the big cities of Moscow and Saint Petersburg to quit being relaxed and get alert about our money, credit cards, etc.

Cruise guests argued if this could happen in the US and I wondered where they'd been. Yes, it can happen anywhere, particularly in big cities in tourist areas. Why? There is what the police call "opportunity." That is, there are people, with money, who are distracted. Picture yourself in a crowd of 50 crammed side-by-side waiting to see the famous peacock clock in the Hermitage start turning.

You're A Mathematical Genius, You Know!

This may come as a surprise to you. But the truth is, you really are good at mathematics. You see, every day you solve complex problems by breaking them down into tiny little "baby steps." And just like the world's most powerful computer or the greatest ever mathematical prodigy, it's this step-by-step process that enables you to do practically anything.

Change-Proficiency

You just got downsized, you just got a new boss, your partner just broke up with you, you just found out you're going to be a father, you've enrolled in college, you just got married, your son just had a daughter, you've been transferred, you've been promoted, you're going into the army now ... what do all these things have in common? Change!

In coaching, I like to label these things immediately "transitions." Why? First of all, this word indicates a bridge, and points toward the future. All of these things signal the end of something, but also, by definition, the beginning of something new.

How to Manage a Transition Successfully

I work with clients in transition. Some of the transitions are chosen, such as retirement. Others are involuntary transitions such as losing a job or being forced to change careers because of a disability.

We all have a different "set point" for our ability to handle changes. It has to do with our natural temperaments, and also the way change and ambiguity were handled when we were children. Why "ambiguity?" Because more than anything else, transitions involve the unknown.

Your Cup Runneth Over

For the full experience of this meditation, take a blanket outside and spread it on the ground -- or position your chaise lounge from your patio furniture so that when you lie down you are more or less facing the Full Moon in the sky. You can certainly take pillows to make yourself comfortable ... and a portable CD player and candle for music and company, if you like. (For the really full experience lie naked under the Moon while you do this meditation.)

Are We Talking Ourselves to Death?
Is there a link between brain cancer and cell phone usage?

There's a report out from the Environmental Working Group on cell phone safety, and the news is not good. Cell phone safety is already under fire in many states and cities because of the distraction they are when people use them while driving.

Many jurisdictions have banned their use by drivers when a car is in motion, in traffic, after a shocking set of statistics showing how often cell phone use was a factor in serious and fatal accidents. Cell phones are convenient, yes -- but there's no escaping the fact that they are also deadly. That's one kind of health risk no one needs.

Fat Food ... Fat Ass ... Fat Head?
More Evidence Against
The Wisdom of the Western Diet

In the science-speak that often accompanies studies -- and papers on studies -- an article in Science Daily begins with this sentence. "Rats fed a high-fat diet show a stark reduction in their physical endurance and a decline in their cognitive ability after just nine days, a study by Oxford University researchers has shown." In other words, rats on a high-fat diet quickly become stupid and lazy. What implication might this have for humans?

Play Small Or Live Out Loud

The famous poem by Marianne Williamson makes me think about how often we bury our aspirations under a bushel of self-doubt, insecurity, fear and procrastination. When we shrink, minimize and deny our strengths, talents and God given abilities, we shortchange ourselves and the world.

All of us are meant to shine our lights into the world in our own unique and magnificent way. It may be pursuing a long held dream, making significant life changes to live your best life now. It may involve taking a risk to achieve a goal. No matter what your dream is, just know that it is YOUR dream and you are the only one who can bring it to fruition.

One of the easiest ways to complicate our lives is in the area of interpersonal relationships, and the closer the people are to us, the more complicated it can get!

Possibilities to Consider When You're Feeling Down

Seems as though it's easy to get down these days. While the reasons are legion, the story is pretty much the same: try as you may, being up, on top, all the time can be a chore. When that happens -- and for most of us, it does -- here are some things you may want to consider.

Intuition

Intuition is beginning to emerge from obscurity and gain legitimacy. A natural mental faculty, a key element in the creative process, a means of discovery, problem solving, and decision making, it's no longer considered the province of a gifted few.

Intuition is an EQ competency. That is, it is considered something necessary to successful living, and something to be respected and valued. In recent years it has emerged from obscurity, even suspicion -- at one time it was even known as "feminine intuition." What exactly is intuition?

What's In Your Blindspot?

We frantically search for our "lost" keys that are lying in plain sight on the kitchen counter. We don't we see the keys. Why not? Because we already decided "the keys are not there." And once we make that decision, we create a blind spot in our awareness. The result is that we don't see the keys where we don't expect them to be.

The Attitudes Of Success And Happiness

I work with people every day who are striving to be - do - or have something in their lives. Be it a successful business, a life that is less stressed, or a more satisfying career, everyone wants the same thing at the core -- to feel successful and to be happy.

Sounds easy to attain but we all know it's not. There are many fine formulas for success and happiness out there. You've probably tried many self-help or business improvement programs and know they would work if you consistently practiced and skillfully applied them.

Visualize Your Way to Success

Human beings are visual creatures. Our imaginations are powerful tools that can bring us to the brink of despair or create a wonderful new reality. This is because our subconscious responds to images whether they are real or imagined.

We all use visualization in our daily lives. When we read, our mind automatically translates the words into images of people and places. When we think of someone, we "see? his or her face. We also visualize every time we are afraid. We play worst-case scenarios in our minds like a reel of film. The more we play the film, the larger our fear becomes.

Intuition and Your Mind

When it comes to intuitive development, the biggest obstacle we possibly face is our own mind. It works really, really hard to dissuade us from believing our intuitive insights. Why? Because it enjoys being in charge!

For most of our lives, our mind has been calling the shots. It has made most of our every day decisions and at least some of our life-altering choices. It entertains itself -- and us -- with planning, worrying, daydreaming and remembering. It has kept us safe, and fed, and comfortable.

Discovering Your Brilliance

How do you figure out what you were meant to do? How do you know what you're really good at? What can you do that makes you shine? One obstacle most of us have is that we really don't know. People are quick to point out our weaknesses and most of us in childhood on onward were pushed toward shoring up our weaknesses rather than identifying our strengths and working on them. The goal has been "well-rounded," not "sharp."

A Healthy Life and a Healthy Brain

We know the importance of good nutrition and healthy habits in caring for our physical bodies. Your brain, of course, is one of the most essential organs in your physical body and its health is one of the most vital things to safeguard to insure the best quality of life, especially as you grow older.

There are a number of good ways to support your brain's well-being. Some are common sense. Others are good suggestions to add to your daily diet and routines ... if your health care practitioner agrees. If you are already living with health problems or if you take medications regularly, always check out changes with that person beforehand.

Try a Little F-O-C-U-S

At a baseball game recently, I saw a 10 year old boy with his glove, staring intently at batter after batter, waiting on the foul ball that he just knew would be coming his way. He wasn't distracted by the noise around him, or the people stepping over him to get concessions.

He wasn't tempted by the gift shop, or the kids club house. I'm sure it wasn't that he didn't find those things interesting. More than likely he did. But what he really wanted was on that field, and if he left his seat, he could have missed his chance.
