Maybe because I have attempted to be a normal person for the past few days by working full days and then doing things in the evening other than sitting like a blob in front of the TV with my laptop. That cat likes me better when I spend a lot of time doing that. I was so tired yesterday I wanted to go home from work and take a nap. Well, I got to lie down for half an hour and then go out to dinner with my family. Then when we got home my back hurt and I couldn't fall asleep so I took a pill and did sleep and feel somewhat better today. But of course something has to hurt - my tennis elbow is acting up so I am typing with a stupid wrist brace which leads to frustration and typos. I did want to sleep late today but we are having a home energy inspect...

How often have you let negative thoughts run your life? Let a punitive perspective take over so you end up beating yourself up for the smallest of supposed offenses? Or just experienced the days like you’re listing through a boring book, going through the motions but skimming the significant stuff? Something that can help is mindfulness. According to Chozen Bays, “Mindfulness unifies our body, heart and mind, br...

I mean I found a few articles that interest me but I am not inspired to write about them. There is one about how MS drugs are priced too high and another about how Express Scrips is going to buy Medco and that will be a bad thing. And a third article about tall people being more likely to get cancer but they don't know why. But I am not interested. Maybe I'll have an apathetic day.We are having a heat wave. Here in Boston, we are not equipped for heat waves. Its not like we are primitive, we do have air conditioning but our bodies deal with 0 degrees better than 100 degrees.

Or maybe it did. Just a little? I know it wasn’t on my mind until two baristas decided to turn a boring day into an exciting one by counting down the last ten seconds to the end of the world. I started to think about how sad it would be if it were to all end here… before I had the chance to write that book I’ve always wanted to write, travel the world or own a home. A few days later, I began to think about the people in my life that I was unintentionally taking for granted (including me!). It turned a false alarm into an opportunity to revisit my priorities and rethink the way I was treating loved ones in my life. This week’s top posts reminded me of that.

Even if she did used to work with my ex-husband. That means, though, that she has been in the business as long as I have as opposed to the new medical school grad i had who just didn't click with me. Anyway this new doctor does what I thought cancer shrinks should do- she talked about my cancer and the effect it was having on my feelings, behavior, etc. She acknowledged that yeah, maybe it is a little stressful when every time you come to an appointment, you learn something new that is worse than what you thought. I think working with her is going to go along pretty well with all that alternative stuff i am going to do at the radiatiion place. I might even take a yoga for delicate people class.

I would like very much not to return. I came up with these steps to help me. But they are good sanity tools even if you’ve never made it to the community room. 1. Keep a consistent rhythm. I’m not talking about rap, or your tempo on the drums. I’m referring to your circadian rhythm, the internal biological clock which governs fluctuation in body temperature and the secretion of several hormones, including the evil one, cortisol.

We just want to know that it’s going to be okay, someday, and that we have a chance of finding “normal.” That’s why it touched my heart to read about a bunch of winemakers in Japan (not typically known for its wine). But these winemakers were different — the staff is made up of more than 100 developmentally disabled and autistic individuals. Not only do they work at the winery, they live there too, and there’s a school there as well. This comprehensive, 360 degree approach is hope-giving. It provides people who society otherwise does not give a chance a place to feel special and like they belong. And belong they do: Hiromitsu Watan...

Take the simple fact that too much talk works against learning or growth. Here’s the skinny:1. Lectures and staff  meetings often work against the human brain.2. The brain’s plasticity is limited when we simply hear – without doing.3. Learners walk in with 8 intelligences but engage few in lectures.4. To teach others as you learn – helps you retain 90% more than lectures.5. Lecture or delivery approaches perpetuate myths that limit human brains.6. It takes two footed questions to address a flat world.7. The brain is equipped with dendrites for competitive edge when engaged.8. It takes active learning to increase IQ, memory capacity and...

Researchers have started embracing these new, more complex techniques for brain analysis, which will hopefully lead to more robust and generalizable conclusions. The future of the usefulness of brain fMRIs is by conducting more careful, nuanced experiments that move away from the simple, “Think of X; Oh look, this is where X lives in the brain!” It is now understood that our brains are more complex than a simple blood flow analysis can demonstrate. So that while these pretty pictures of our brains remain, hopefully more emphasis will be given to the complexity of human behavior and what the prior ten decades of psychological research has found (even though it didn’t come with the pretty pictures).

Yet most people admit that any successful business will meet to move the firm’s agenda forward together. So what are the alternatives to the meeting where a few dominate and others daydream? 1. Choose the best facilitator to chair the meeting. You’ll recognize master facilitators by the way they engage all voices and by the way  people in their circles speak up and feel heard. 2. Invite pair share activities to answer questions ahead of whole group discussions so that more reluctant speakers will gain insights in a smaller setting and then feel ready to jump into large group discussions with more confidence.3. Ask two footed questions and then i...

I’ve been a bit worried about Moo lately. He is giving me and everyone the silent treatment. His leg spasms are getting worse - almost always in the middle of the night - screaming and screaming and there is nothing we can do for him. We rub his legs. We stretch them. But he is in so much pain, he either can’t or won’t tell us exactly what is wrong. ABR therapy has been slow going. New exercises. In places where he previously has been left alone. And a very full timetable which leaves little “free” time at home for ABR. And a machine that turns itself off if it receives the slightest bump. We’ve managed only half of the hours I was aiming for. I’ve been wondering whether we have been getting anywhere. Whether Moo’s progress has pl...

Why is this?  Interestingly, your unique spatial intelligence to solve problems craves art and shapes along with colors that connect to meanings – and that’s why words alone can bore you. Not surprisingly, when we graft in images or icons to presentations, we also appeal to an audiences’ multiple intelligences.  How so? Here are 8 strategies that add visuals to presentations -  in ways that engage participants’ full mix of intelligences: 1. Place a unique art piece on display or in a slide and invite people to share with the person next to them. Ask... &ld...
