Celebrate your success here!

I started eating right and exercising since the Brain Warriors Way live classes started in 2016 and while I feel like I have a long way to go in healing I want to celebrate this week because I have walked every day this week on my lunch hour and I am eating brain healthy foods.

Awesome! Good for you!! Thanks for sharing!

Over the past 10 years I lost my Father to Lewy Body Dementia, my Brother passed at age 65 and I take care of my Mom who is 90, she has dementia and she broke her hip a year ago, and last but not least I helped my beloved CJ (dog) through 3 years of bladder cancer losing her to kidney failure.
My Dad taught us how to have fun and I remember laughing and being happy most of the time.
When my Dad got sick that changed and with what seemed to keep punching me every few years I feel it’s been a long time since I felt like the old “Elaine”.  I have made a little progress and I do notice that I try to remain calm and more aware of this which helps.  I also notice two things that make me happy again-  I pretty much stopped listening to music and my entire life I was an up to date fan-  I have started to listen to music and I even opened the windows on my car yesterday as it was 65 degrees here in Feb- and I sang all the way home from work.  I also feel more like getting rid of things and when I do I feel great.   My losing names has been better but it still happens when I’m tired,  I can tell when my brain is tired which is often but it is a little better. I would like to check out what is involved in getting my testerone up a bit as it came out low and that could be part of the issue as well.   All in all I think doing lots of the recommendations (the best I can with the time I have) has helped.  My lab work was the best it’s been in a couple of  years, not perfect but better.  I feel this program has made me aware that I had a bigger problem than just being tired.   I want to laugh and be light hearted again and hope I can somewhere near it.   Thank you!

After 46 years of smoking, I stopped cold-turkey and I’m on Day #98!!!! Have gained weight with “treat” foods and have had “on my last nerve” moments but made it for 98 days so far. How do I celebrate this in my daily log?  My score on weight and mood are far worse so it looks like I’m going way backwards. Can we get a category for “super achievement”!!!  I’m kidding of course. If so, I’d be a 10 for 98 days. We all have our huge steps forward which are as individual as we each are in our journey.  For some, it may be that we walked out of our front door or took a shower. Ya know?

Absolutely! Our individual successes look very different depending on where we are starting and all achievements should be celebrated–certainly stopping smoking after so long! Amazing! Taking many small steps throughout each day will ultimately help us to grow into the life we want for ourselves. You can note these achievements in your daily journal, and put any additional thoughts not captured elsewhere in the ‘reflections’ section. Congrats to you!

The program is working.  I have lost 15 lbs.  Eating right.  It started with the Apple watch for fitness and nutrition.  Your program brought it to another level.My focus was to get rid of lousy negative thinking and it is working.   There is so much here that is helpful.  Still learning the ropes.  Thank you all for what this offers.
