What I Know For Sure

Learning to control your thoughts, emotions, and body helps you gain mastery of your mind.

The 5-4-3-2-1 method will distract your mind long enough for you to regain a sense of control. Doctors use this method to help patients overcome panic disorders.

Here is how the 5-4-3-2-1 method works:Slowly count down from five to one. As you count down, use each number as a cue to engage one of your five senses.<ul><li> Five – look at five objects in your environment. </li><li>Four – hear four distinct sounds.</li><li> Three – feel three sensations. </li><li>Two – detect two smells. </li><li>One – identify one taste.</li></ul>

The 5-4-3-2-1 method 

Think of consciousness as a ball of awareness that moves in and out of your body. When you’re lost in thought, your ball of awareness hovers inside your mind, bouncing around like a pinball with all the what-ifs scenarios you’re thinking of “What if this happens? What if that happens? What if I’d done things differently?”. If you take a second to notice the fine details of an object in your environment, like the lines and colors of your wood desk, your ball of awareness leaves your mind and hovers over the desk.

By performing the 5-4-3-2-1 method, you keep your ball of awareness outside of your head long enough to lower your anxiety and regain a sense of control.

Behind every ‘overthinking episode’ is a debilitating belief. For example, if your mind is racing before a presentation, you must believe you are unprepared and will bomb.

Don't be Too Good

Listening is an Act of Love

What heart-throbbing love brings with it are all just passengers on the same ship.

Relationships

Do not complain someone has not accommodated your every desire. The real problem may be your expectation that others must adapt you. The person who always adapts to you? There is no such saint in the world.

Dealing with Dissapointment

The reason we think we are better than others is that inferiority still lurks within us. A sense of superiority exists because of a sense of inferiority.

Inferiority and Superiority

Someone's true self can not be known by the things that are easy to judge, like physical appearance, academic degree, job title, etc.

Judgement

Are you suffering from anxiety?Try prioritizing your worries by writing them down.

Instead of settling for the vague hope that things will be okay if you just try harder next time, figure out exactly where you went wrong, and don't repeat the same mistake again.

<ol><li>When depressing thought comes to you, remember that it is only a single, passing cloud in the big sky of your mind.</li><li>If your depression is triggered by negative comments about you by people who don't know you very well, you should understand that though it sounds like they're talking about you, their words say more about their own negative psychological state than they do about you.</li><li>We have to keep in mind that most thoughts are personal opinions based on our limited experience.</li></ol>

There is always a gap between what you know and how you act.

Knowledge vs Action

Emotions are like uninvited guests. They come whenever they want to, and leave once you acknowledge their presence. Although emotions are born inside of you, don't assume that they belong to you. That is why they rarely listen to you.

Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet: "The world could surely use a little more love, a little more compassion, and a little more wisdom. In Love for Imperfect Things, Haemin Sunim shows us how to cultivate all three, and to find beauty in the most imperfect of things--including your very own self." A #1 internationally bestselling book of spiritual wisdom about learning to love ourselves, with all our imperfections, by the Buddhist author of The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down Hearing the words "be good to yourself first, then to others" was like being struck by lightning. Many of us respond to the pressures of life by turning inward and ignoring problems, sometimes resulting in anxiety or depression. Others react by working harder at the office, at school, or at home, hoping that this will make ourselves and the people we love happier. But what if being yourself is enough? Just as we are advised on airplanes to take our own oxygen first before helping others, we must first be at peace with ourselves before we can be at peace with the world around us. In this beautiful follow-up to his international bestseller The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down, Zen Buddhist monk Haemin Sunim turns his trademark wisdom to the art of self-care, arguing that only by accepting yourself--and the flaws that make you who you are--can you have compassionate and fulfilling relationships with your partner, your family, and your friends. With more than thirty-five full-color illustrations, Love for Imperfect Things will appeal to both your eyes and your heart, and help you learn to love yourself, your life, and everyone in it. When you care for yourself first, the world begins to find you worthy of care.

How To Show Up For Yourself

<ul><li>When ADHD was called ADD, very few recognized it as a mental disorder or even a real issue.</li><li>ADHD can impact mental well-being much worse than depression or anxiety. Left untreated, it can ruin lives, contribute to divorce and professional setbacks, and deprive a person of peace and harmony.</li><li>Discovering and recognizing a problem is the first step to solving it</li></ul>

ADHD is a neurological syndrome (not merely behavioral or psychological) that includes three distinctive symptoms: • Impulsivity • Distractibility • Hyperactivity

Although these are the most common signs of ADHD, some people suffer from daydreaming and low energy instead of hyperactivity. It also exhibits distinct behavioral patterns, such as: • Failing to stay focused. • Experiencing relationship problems. • Struggling to finish projects. • Sabotaging self-development. • Reacting impulsively and emotionally to people and events. • Making considerable effort to differentiate social contexts. • Missing deadlines. • Moving, pacing, and overusing body language when talking. • Using alcohol, drugs, or any other addiction as an escape.

Driven to Distraction: Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood through Adulthood by Edward M. Hallowell, MD, John J. Rat

Groundbreaking and comprehensive, Driven to Distraction has been a lifeline to the approximately eighteen million Americans who are thought to have ADHD. Now the bestselling book is revised and updated with current medical information for a new generation searching for answers.   Through vivid stories and case histories of patients—both adults and children—Hallowell and Ratey explore the varied forms ADHD takes, from hyperactivity to daydreaming. They dispel common myths, offer helpful coping tools, and give a thorough accounting of all treatment options as well as tips for dealing with a diagnosed child, partner, or family member. But most importantly, they focus on the positives that can come with this “disorder”—including high energy, intuitiveness, creativity, and enthusiasm.

Emotional Intelligence 2.0 - Book Summary

Did you know that Vitamin C is a powerful brain booster and one of the best vitamins to help calm you down?
But is it something you think of taking if you are feeling stressed or depressed? Maybe not.

Vitamin C

It has a vital role to play in your brain and is one of the best vitamins to help calm you down. Concentrations of vitamin C in the brain are far higher than those in the rest of the body, and long after the body is depleted of the vitamin, the brain maintains its levels. That's because it is so important for the conversion of tyrosine into dopamine, tryptophan into serotonin, and for GABA, acetylcholine, norepinephrine and epinephrine production.

These are the neurotransmitters providing the stress and relaxation response, balanced mood, both physical and motivational energy and feelings of reward and satisfaction.Without Vitamin C neurotransmitter levels decline in the brain and body resulting in prolonged stress and anxiety, lower mood and low motivational energy.Vitamin C is fundamental to all thoughts and feelings and is very important in helping to balance your mood and keep you feeling calm.

Yes, vitamin C calms you downThis antioxidant plays a vital role in your central nervous system. A study in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry declared that:"vitamin C deficiency is widely associated to stress-related diseases and several studies showed that supplementation produces antidepressant effect and improves mood”

Chronic stress and anxiety leads you to have elevated levels of cortisol (a stress hormone). Vitamin C can help your body to better manage its cortisol levels.

Vitamin C plays an important therapeutic role for anxiety as it helps both in the prevention and in the reduction of anxiety. This suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C may be an effective addition to medical and psychological treatment of anxiety as well as improving cognitive performance

Vitamin C helps with your brain fog and memory.It plays a vital role in the formation maturation of neurons and of the myelin sheath that protects them and speeds message transmission. This makes it crucial to cognitive performance including memory and processing speed.A study that included 80 healthy adults found that those with adequate blood levels of vitamin C performed significantly better in tests assessing memory, attention, reaction time, and focus than those with low vitamin C levels

What’s more, a recent study suggests that vitamin C supplementation may improve mood in people with subclinical depression, which could enhance cognitive performance, thus reducing depression-related brain fog

NRV for vitamin C:Adult males: 90 mg/dayAdult females: 75 mg/day

How much Vitamin C to take?

Top food sources for vitamin C:Guava, citrus fruits, kiwis, melons, papaya, pineapplered bell peppers, red cabbage, broccoli, peas, cauliflower, potatoesAnd as poor diet is common in people with mood disorders so it is possible that vitamin C deficiency might also be more prevalent among people struggling with their mental health.

We all tend to eat the same sorts of foods each week which means that over time we start to miss some crucial nutrients.It means that we end up with deficiencies and gaps without even realising it.This has a huge impact on how our bodies and brains work.

Your brain is very responsive.That’s where a high quality supplement fits in. It helps you to give your brain a boost, fix the deficiencies and help you to feel calm again.Add a good supplement to your daily routine and you are fast on your way to transforming your mental health.

Did you know that vitamin C is a powerful brain booster and one of the best vitamins to help calm you down? If I asked you: What do you take vitamin C for?   I imagine your first answer would be to boost your immunity. It’s one of the first things we think of taking when we are ill with a cold or flu.    But is it some
