Sugar does not seem to have any hyperactive effect on children.

This myth was popularized with the Feingold Diet in the 1970s, where parents were advised to remove sugar to help calm their children.

• Many of the things that upset us are a product of the imagination, not reality. They are vivid and realistic at the time like dreams. We don't stop and say: "Does this make any sense?". No, we go along with it. The same goes with our flights of anger or fear or other extreme emotions.

To improve and grow, reflection is necessary. Start and end each day reviewing outcomes. Ask yourself:

• What went well today? How can I repeat these results?
• What challenges did I face? How can I change my actions to get better results in the future?
