It's 7:45 in the morning and I am running on my first few sips of coffee.
Last night, before I fell asleep, there were a couple of things that I kept thinking of that were making my mind run a mile a minute.
I just woke up and I can't think of any of them now.
What is up with that? I'm losing my mind. My brain is gone, it's slowly dissipating.
Johnny, my husband, is making me read a book called "Magnificent Mind at Any Age" by Dr. Daniel Amen. He saw his show on KQED 4 at work and hustled to buy the hardcover making a special trip to our local Barnes&Nobles that same day.
(Ah B&N :)...That was a job that I loved. Since it was so many years ago I can't remember why I quit...Oh yes. Hotdog On A Stick offered me three dollars more than I was making - which later amounted to semi-good money but went hand in hand with immortal humiliation as my then boyfriend and friends would pass by smirking and later on laughing in my face as I mashed the lemon peels for the lemonade every three hours in my yellow, blue, and red circus themed uniform.)
By the way, my husband NEVER goes shopping. It's on the same line of "things-to-do" as "buy a monkey." So, I was thrilled to be given the assignment to read the whole text and apply it to our daily lives. (Johnny doesn't read, he honestly gives it a good try, but quickly loses interest - he likes audiotapes and newspapers when it comes to be being supplied important information.)
I'm at the stages of important supplements.
Omega-3's, fish oil, krill oil, and things of that nature work wonders.
Johnny tried to spike John's apple juice to get him the supplements ingested double time. So cute, He even decorated the entire apple juice bottle with Thomas the Train gift wrap...He really went all out.
I tried it - tastes like fishy apple juice. I'm really not sure how that's going to work out.
As for the book, so far so good. It doesn't just touch on the the scientific side of the brain and it's systems. It also shows the importance of the balance between all the things of our everyday lives. The things we do, a-duh!, effect our brain. But the things we do are not in control of who we are, we must learn to control those things before they turn around and defeat and destroy us and the systems of our body altogether.
First and foremost is the importance of nurturing and understanding the science and soul of what and who we are.
I recommend this book immensely.
I can't wait to genuinely apply it to my own humanity.
Of course, I'll start after this cup of joe. Amen says its bad for my brain...but right now, it's good for my grumpiness that hates to do mornings.
Take Care of yourself,
Mira
