I shared the original post above with the caption, “Aka, ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world.’ - Ghandi.”
Sometimes we model learning new things painfully—like this moment on our family vacation when I stopped to ground myself, so that I didn’t act on my anger with my frustrated child.
Study tools, memory exercises, breathing practices & mind-mapping templates: Find these hacks & more at my personal Pinterest resource warehouse, specifically at my “Brain Hacks to Change Your Brain” board. (There’s even a comprehensive fast fix link to 100 Self-Care Ideas for a Bad Day. Thanks, Content Creation Specialist Jen Liddy!)
See? You & I are definitely on this journey together.
Being the change is sometimes easier said than done. That’s why I share some scripts you can steal (& adapt as needed) at LivingHealthyList.com. The site just happens to be a clearinghouse for healthy lifestyle resources & experts, as well. Enjoy!
There’s proof our brains are more resourceful when we feel safe, or loved & respected. For more than a decade, I’ve been recommending the 5 Love Languages for my clients in book form, online quiz form & more. Since 2020, I’ve also been personally using their app for couples to strengthen my co-parenting bonds. Those littlest ones in our family watch us closely & learn from our every move … so why not make it count?
I’m the host of a community-radio-show-turned-podcast, Tune In: Radio for Your Mind, Body & Soul. Sometimes, I switch seats & take a turn as a guest. Hear what can go wrong with neurodevelopment (& eventually right again, using lessons on recovery & resilience) when trauma, addiction & mental illness interfere with healthy learning in my no-holds-barred interview with Matters of Substance host Kaitlyn Griffin of @WVLP.
