Miracle Cure for the Mind!

___________ will help you to: (Try to figure out what goes in the blank! (Even if you don't want to guess keep reading. Don't be a negative Nancy and stop reading just because I asked you to think for 5 minutes.))

- recall more information and strengthen your brain in addition to promoting your neuronal plasticity in the aging brain.
- save brain power that can be used for other things
- improve your focus
- learn more things in life
- become more creative
- delay typical cognitive decline by 7-14 years

What is it?!?!? What is it!?!?


It's memorizing! It's really good for your brain! Not just memorizing scripture, but committing ANYthing to memory is so beneficial for preserving your mental health and plasticity.

But Memorizing Scripture is even more beneficial for:

- improving self control
- battling temptation
- dwelling on the character of Christ
- Plus a million other things Henry said in class today. :)

I started memorizing the book of James 2 years ago and only go through the 1st chapter. After class today, I've been inspired to continue on that journey!

For those who read the previous post, I totally don't want to post my improvements, because I gained weight and increased in body fat %. lol. So I'll post something when it's encouraging!!! :D

    Cheaterrrrrr! LOL. You have to post your improvements, no matter what. I insist! (If only so I know that I'm not the only one gaining weight despite my efforts to the contrary… :P )

      You're totally right. I'll make my next post about my update regardless of the results... lol. I did realize that I had gone from 41 inches in my waist down to 37 inches. :D

Fire Drill...?

Fair warning: This is a long post. Take two days to read it if you're overwhelmed. If you're procrastinating, definitely take some time to read it now. :) Wednesday morning started out just like any other day at Weimar. But at lunchtime, we got a surprise!!! An Obermiller visit!! Accompanied by Kasee, Ipo, and... and... Oh no. I forgot his name. I know his last name is Hyde! After eating and socializing, we went outside and saw..... THIS! Okay maybe we didn't see this particularly. This was just across the street. But we did see this: Smoke was billowing, "Prepare to evacuate!" was ringing across campus. Mothers were scooping up crying children and running to their homes to pack their most important things (Uncle Arthur's Bedtime Stories--true story) and college students jumping in the air rejoicing their good fortune (Psychology class isn't a favorite I guess...?) at classes being cancelled. Animals are being loaded into their cages a

The Problem with All or Nothing

Image
Are you familiar with Cognitive Distortions? If not, you should be. Understanding them may greatly impact your life for the better. One of my strongest distortions is All or Nothing thinking. I'm coming to realize that this invades every area of my life. - Job Tasks - Hobbies - Spiritual Convictions - Reading Books (I have read through an entire series of books in 2-3 days. Pages and pages of information. Done. Because I had to finish the series. It's a problem.) - Relationships - Food - Facebook While I'd love to discuss and throw around ideas about all of these areas, the one I'm most hit with right now is actually..... Facebook! I deleted my profile (Completely deleted it, like, gone gone. No re-active life for me) in July of 2012 and was FB free for 2+ years. Why? There were many reasons. But in August (I think?) of this year I decided to open it up again because I was moving to Spokane in January and wanted to keep in touch with several friends that

Health Update

Image
Something I've decided to do (as of last night) is to let you follow in my Health adventure. While we're learning how to help other people to reach their health goals, we ourselves are encouraged to reach our health goals. I'm going to post my original stats and then at week 8 I'll post an update. In the meantime, I'll let you know what exactly I've been doing to reach those goals. If you would prefer me to tell funny stories to make reading this new train of thought easier and more enjoyable, then I shall. Today we walked 3 miles from 6-7 AM and ate a hearty breakfast with lots of fruit and beans. Yup. Beans. They put beans in everything here. The gravy, Sloppy Joes, the oatmeal... just kidding. Not the oatmeal. But they sure do love the beans here! While on the walk, I felt it would be easier to roll down the trail as opposed to just walking. Didn't turn out so well. -_- In addition to breakfast, we eat once more at 1:00 PM and that's it for the
