So here is some wisdom from a man that has achieved a great deal.
To maintain a forward-moving mentality, you must:

• resist needlessly dwelling on mistakes. Instead, identify lessons learned and move on;
• continue to set challenging yet reachable goals—especially after scoring big;
• aspire, not to be a know-it-all, but rather to be a learn-it-all; and
• never give up. Ever.
  

This seems to be simple advice, however, if we look deeper, we will see how this makes almost anything obtainable.

I hope that you will come to try LENS.  It will make you feel better and makes goals easier to attain.  Happy New Year!!

Would you like to help your children with their questions about all of the recent events?  Here is some information from On Our Sleeves.

1.  Take time to talk.  Take time to learn about the recent events.  Take time to listen, aware of their concerns.  Then be empathetic, this is a way of walking beside them.

2.  Let them know that you will be available to talk some more.

3.   Encourage them to share their feelings.  Be careful when you are feeling horrified or extremely upset.  Tell them that your concerned or worried.

4  .Reassure them that you are here to protect and keep them safe.

5.  Know that it is OK to not have all of the answers.

6.  Focus on the good.

7.  Avoid talking badly about certain groups.

LENS neurofeedback can help with all of the anxiety and depression going around.  It will help you to feel better.

)Life has been pretty bumpy lately for many people. 

Here is some information about the city of Tiomso, Norway.  These people live 200 miles above the arctic circle.  From November to January the sun does not come above the horizon.  

I have a hard time in the winter with the shorter days and being inside.  This can relate to a condition called SAD (seasonal affect disorder),  I have never been diagnosed with the condition.  But it can be caused by lower serotonin levels that are created in the winter months.  

A study from the University of Tiomso found that the people that live in this area have very little problems with the lack of sun.  (I need to visit these resilient people)  The study found that there were only some sleep disturbances with this population.

So what is the secret?  They have learned to have a mindset of seeing stressful events as challenges that create an opportunity to learn and adapt.  This is the opposite of the move towards failure, embarrassment or illness.

This change in mindset is not do to a lack of facts.  Yes, there are problems, but we can get under the covers with a nice cup of tea and feel good.

This type of mindset can change blood pressure and heart rate.

Look for ways to feel good.  Try LENS neurofeedback, it will make you feel good.
