It’s change. Every season has an end. And with any end comes fear, uncertainty and sometimes sadness. Even if ends bring new beginnings like a marriage, a baby or a new career, the loss of what we know can feel earth shattering. Instead of embracing change, we grasp on, holding desperately to what was instead of what will be. Does that sound like you? How are you continuing to do things that don’t serve you or your new life out of fear of change? Maybe you need to take the time to grieve for your old self and your old life so that you can embrace your new one. It’s something important to contemplate this week as we get closer to summer. It also fits with one of our posts on transitions. Have a great week and enjoy! Seven Rules of Mindful Eating ...

Maybe you did okay or even more than okay but it was high stress all the way. Or maybe you didn’t do as well as you could or as well as you need to if you are to be competitive for grad school or the job you want after graduation. Either way, it may be time to rethink the way you are doing college. It doesn’t have to be so high stress. If you were bright enough to be admitted, you’re bright enough to earn decent grades. But it may require a major shift in your schedule, your attitude, and your work ethic to get there. Here are some tips to make the second half of the semester go smoothly for you… 1. Recommit. If you got a string of C-minuses or lower, resist the tendency to give up. However discouraged ...

How will I pull it off when I have to work a 9 to 5 office job? Which then led me to the thought: Is it time to take a break? How would I know when that time comes? Other people around me are clearly crazy and they aren’t spending their lunch hour in therapy. Alas, I decided my graduation day is off in the far distance because I still always leave my therapist’s office feeling about 10 pounds lighter and equipped with an arsenal of power tools with which to treat my negative intrusive thoughts. In my life, and maybe in yours, it always tempting to end therapy exactly when you need as part of your recovery plan, especially during a huge transition, like going to work for someone after 15 years of calling your ow...

It’s worth checking out if you’re a student facing the imminent graduation ceremony, or a parent of such a student. From mid-May well into June, my corner of the world is celebrating one graduation after another. With four colleges, a state university, two community colleges and more high schools and alternative schools than I can count within a 25-mile circle around my town, the hills are alive with the sounds of “Pomp and Circumstance.” It’s the season when graduating seniors wear funny hats and walk across a stage or field or gym floor after what seems like an interminable wait. It’s a time whe...

I’ve talked about various business topics on Deepest Health. I’ve made some recommendations about books, websites and even courses that might get you closer to your goal of having a vital, abundant Chinese medicine practice. I’ve consumed at least twenty times more content than I’ve recommended – putting only the best and brightest out there for you all to see. I like to think some of these recommendations have been helpful! One thing I’ve always wanted to do is take what I’ve learned so far about business and feed it into some kind of natural medicine specific business course. I like specialists – I like people who have experience in the particular field I find myself in. I’ve even got some pretty detailed outlines abo...

They are simultaneously too weak, and way too much. They are too weak because they don’t require states to actually do anything of substance. Have plans for reform? Sure. Break down a few barriers that could stand in the way of decent changes? That’s in there, too. But that’s about it. And the money is supposed to be a one-shot deal – once paper promises are accepted and the dough delivered, the race is supposed to be over. In light of those things, how is this more appropriately labeled the Over the Top Fund than the Race to the Top Fund? Because while not requiring anything, it tries t...

I heard Jill say the name of Alex’s teacher. “He’s sick?” I thought. “This morning of all mornings?” No. Instead the teacher wanted to know if we’d gotten the message about dressing all the graduating kids in black and white for the ceremony? I had some memory of that but not a strong one — at this point in my parenthood only a drop of guilt can turn into a real past event in my head. Alex went to school in khakis and a T, and good luck getting him to wear anything else these days. Teacher got him into a white baseball T. Alex was one of two kids in his special-needs class graduating, the...

Alex’s school, a NYC public special ed school, has a bunch of locations. They’re schools-within-schools: a few classrooms in a general ed school. In this case, an elementary school in Washington Heights whose only drawback is how far it is from our apartment. Unlike many other schools, the principal of the general ed school — Tracy Walsh — is unusually welcoming to the special ed students. Near the end of kindergarten, Alex came home with a graduation day t-shirt from PS 48. What’s this? I thought. Alex isn’t graduating. Alex doesn’t go to PS 48. On the back of the t-shirt were all the names of the graduating students. And Alex was one of...

He goes to a special-needs fifth grade — “will have gone to a special-needs fifth grade” by a week from now — that sits in a school of typically developing kids.  All the graduates get their names on the back of the T shirt. Two of the names from Alex’s class this June, and one of the names is his. Image: msg.mercyhurst.edu I don’t know how to feel about these graduations, which this year even came with a school photo of him in a cap and gown. Nothing amiss with that, of course, except that the background of the photo was shelves and shelves of what appear to be law texts. By sixth grade, I’m afraid we have to admit the truth about law texts in Alex’s ...

What a whirlwind time for me. The Big Guy just went thorough his graduation week. It started May 29 with his prom. He had a date and wore a white tuxedo. Then he had the honors convocation where he got to wear a satin striped collar, white cord and white tassel instead of the school colors. We credit Bobby his stepdad with getting him to study and ultimately graduate with honors, I am one of those moms that is charmed with crayons and construction paper so not a big help in pushing for better grades. Then he had an athletic banquet where he was awarded all area first team for discus throwing. On Saturday we sat through the pomp and ceremony of the main convocation where again he wore the white tassel and special get-up and finally finished the whole shebang with a graduation celebrati...

Wow.  I mean, really, wow.  There are quite a few of you out there who are in the same boat I am - looking graduation in the face.  It’s exciting, yes, but it’s also a little hard on the nerves.  In my case, I have a number of personal and professional obligations criss-crossing through my schedule.  They all have to be satisfied if I am going to end my NCNM career with a bang.  I spent several hours today thinking about how best to approach the sheer cliff that is my next twelve weeks.

When my son graduated from high school he was going to technical school part of the day, and was the Valedictorian of the Technical School the year he graduated...we were so proud of him and his accomplishment and did all we could to celebrate the occasion with food an fun.We ate out as a family when possible, and for both of our children, we were able to take advantage of the back deck overlooking the lake to celebrate. Our celebrations were fairly simple, I made much of the food myself, and invited their friends, and people who had been important in their lives during their school years, to our home to celebrate. I can't say that I thought much about Graduation Songs at the time,...

I am seconding Dr Vijay’s opinion that its Stanford that yields great commencement speeches. the other favourite all time was Steve Jobs’ address and the famous tag line “stay foolish, stay hungry” Full text of this inspiring speech of his personal life story and the story of Apple’s success can be found here.

Last month I completed my B.S. in Genetics and Cell Biology at Washington State University after an extremely stressful four years in which I tried to balance responsibilities as a full-time student, undergraduate researcher, husband, father, and blogger, among many other pursuits. This year, something had to give as my class schedule was extremely demanding and lab courses required a much larger share of my time. In addition, I had decided not to attend graduate school right away and was turning my attention to finding a research technician position in the area. That search is still ongoing, and I have applied for and interviewe...

We don’t have the facilities to hold the event on campus and it’s held some distance away down the Garden State Parkway. I’ve been teaching at my college for three years now and have gotten to know some students fairly well: So exciting to hear their names called for prizes and to get their degrees, to see them walk (some smiling from ear to ear, some thoughtful at the solemnity of the occasion, some waving wildly to family and friends) across the stage and shake the President’s hand. A alumnus from the class of 1958 gave the Commencement address and he talked about his grandfather who never grew taller than the podium after being hit by a cart in Jersey City, and became a journalist and editor; the spe...

Our graduation rites and ball will be tomorrow and on Sunday, respectively. So I’ve been busy looking for a graduation dress and attending the rehearsals. I had to do boutique-hopping to find a suitable one. I need three dresses and the budget is tight so I have to carefully consider the price. I was so busy with my graduation that it was already late to notice that my site has been suspended by my host due to CPU overload. This was the second time it happened. The suspension was primarily due to increased blog traffic and some WordPress plugins and scripts eating up the resources. This has always been a case with poorly scripted plugins.

Quite simply, I knew that I would enjoy those mental and physical demands because I love working with my patients to identify and help solve their health problems. When a patient walks into your clinic, office or you encounter them in the hospital, the most amazing relationship develops that you will ever experience. A person walks into your life and puts their health and trust into your hands. This trust means that you give your best knowledge in terms of figuring out their needs and meeting them.Too many people will confuse what they see on the telly (House, Dr. Kildare, Gray’s Anatomy,Ben Casey, Scrubs, ER) with what is the actual reality of being...
