BRAIN - FITNESS

BRAIN-FITNESS

---About 30 years ago, strict bedrest was required after a heart attack. Movement and exercise were seen as enemies in the game. Then, gradually the benefit of exercise became understood. It came to the point that everyone has a gym membership or some kind of regimen in life that includes exercise. As a result, we, as a people, have become healthier.

---It seems that we have now become ready for the next step in our evolution. We are accustomed to the fact that the body does better with exercise. Now, the brain seems to be next. Through, neuroplasticity, we now understand that the brain does better with exercise. Exercise has worked on the body and now we see that a series of exercises have been developed that improves our thinking. Just as the doctor said ‘’use them or lose them’’ when discussing my legs, the same term applies to the brain and its’ parts. Use them or lose them. There is a quote by Stephen Hawking that seems to fit here, ‘’Don’t be disabled spiritually as well as physically.’’

---We can definitely do things that help improve our minds. At one time we were told that we have what we have and through some kind of draw we were stuck being the way we were born. Now, science is telling us that that is not true. We don’t have to be a 97 lb weakling, mentally or physically, unless that is what we want. Realistically, I’m sure there are some limits on the possibilities, but according to science, we are NOT as stuck as we once thought. Be Well.

The HANDBOOK to HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS.

---Here is a book that I read a number of years ago. I re-read much of it AND still think it's great. I highly recommend it. As a matter of fact, I challenge you to read the first 11 pages. I would almost wager that you'll want to continue!

To Focus Properly

To FOCUS PROPERLY

I Spent Much of My Time

Thinking My Parents Were Right

Most of The Time

Everything Said by My Teachers,

My Relatives,

People I Knew to Be Older,

And, At One Time People in General.

I Was Much TOO Gullible

I Didn’t Think for Myself

And, Believed Everything I Heard

I Had an Awful Lot to Learn,

I Thought!

The Years Have Gone By

And My Eagle Has Died

That's When I Began To Open My Eyes

I Finally Could See I Was Living Their Lies

I Realized Being Paralyzed

By My Fears

Was My Way of Life

 Free Movement of any Sort

Was Becoming Uncommon

There Were Many Things That

Weren’t Necessarily So

That Didn’t Involve

Living in a Whale

Or Being Called Jonah

I Learned the Importance of Unlearning

I Learned You Could Strike with the Cover Open

At Times

Some of it did Hold Water

And, Some Still Does

But, There Are Things That Should Have Been Sent

To the Preposterous Department

Many Years Ago.

Like Removal of Certain Tags on Furniture

That Will Result in Immediate Imprisonment,

That People in Authority Were Always Honest,

The Easter Bunny & Santa Make Their Way to My House

Once A Year,

And, I Could Go to Hell for

Practically Anything!

I Realized Good Judgment &

Knowing Thyself

Were Actually Good Things to Do

Everything Has Come Into question

At One Time or Another.

I’m Feeling Much Better Now

And It’s Almost Lunchtime

I Have That Going for me

And, I Guess, Other Things, TOO,

When It Comes Right Down to It!

WINNING/LOSING ATTITUDEs!

Striking Differences Between Winners and Losers

---In my quest to post things that may be found useful in one's journey of self-improvement, I found a list of 33 traits that are shared by winners and losers. I am NOT calling anyone names through this, this is what I do. Ever since I discovered that one could actually improve and make his life better...I have been at this. I am sure that being born as I was (missing fingers, etc.,) has much to do with my venture into this career...if you will.
