I could easily be crushed by the results of my webneuro score. Honestly, I thought I had done better. I could just slam this site shut..neatly package it in my mind as…quackery, then go about the business of stuffing it deep down into some place where the “sun don’t shine”. Or….I could keep this site open…and begin the process of healing my brain. To be honest, I could cry at the moment..feel real sad for myself, do what I do whenever I deal with harsh realities, or emotional overload…..drink! However….today I think I’ll just sit in the muck and ask myself some serious questions about how I’d like my future to look….given that I feel I have come to a place where there is help, support and time tested positive outcomes.

I have found this site remarkably helpful and constructive. there is a lot to do. My favorite things are the guided meditation and the games and I make use of the relaxation room which is under games to get rid of my stress. I was crying way to much when I began but I am achieving an inner calm more and more. I’m sure you can do this too.
It’s important to write your goals and read them everyday to tell your brain what you want.
I still have a long way to go with the ANTS and other issues.

@bonitabree Don’t take the test results in a negative way. When I first took the webnuero test I was challenged to improve my scores and I am working everyday on improving my score.
yes. (laughs) I guess I needed a few hours to get over the shock of seeing just how dismal my brain happens to be at the moment.
I think what pissed me off the most was in seeing just how correctly the webneuro test invoked it’s ability to pinpoint. A transparency one can’t deny. This is of course not a bad thing ….just takes time to let it soak in

It can be a bit overwhelming to look at where our hardest work may be waiting for us, but hopefully it will also lead to your feeling more compassionate towards yourself—brain and body! We are all on a journey towards feeling more of our whole selves more of the time, and learning what works within us, and what needs more attention, is the surest way to access our best selves more often!

@postiveme That is awesome keep up the great work.
Good morning everyone!
hahah..I had a dream last night. I was back in high school, a senior, and suddenly, in April, finding myself without the necessary credits to graduate. I realized I had not even attended a History class. You might imagine the chaos I went through as I watched this dream unfold after coming out of the councilors office. “How could this happen to me”? I asked myself. Unable to fix the problem in my dream…I woke myself up.
I have learned from my webnuero results…my flexibility 3, anxiety level 1, social capacity 1, and self regulation (risk oriented) 1….has complicated my life enormously.
While I don’t believe I have ever had any sort of brain injury other than the usual…my personal History, has certainly contributed to what I see from these results. And, while I feel like I got failing marks….maybe I’ll go back into the councilors office and try to work it out.

yes, like the time my brother and I ran across the field to escape having to hang with a cousin and she wound up falling into a sewer ditch…came out black and we pretended she was fine.
Not even our amazing imagination could help us as we explained it away to parents…we got our bottoms smacked!
I took the webneuro test for the first time. I was having a ‘bad day”, not enough sleep and a lot of anxiety. Once I was into it I continued even though it was hard. I did not do well either and wonder how it would turn out if I were feeling better. I think it would be good training for memory and a challenge. I am reading Dr. Fotuhi’s book and the chapter on memory makes me nervous, definitely a challenge there. I am going to try to do more of the exercises I do not particularly like.

When I was in grade 6 I had an experience that pushed me to go from a C average to an A student in about 1 year. I worked very hard to achieve the results but it was worth it. When I got my results back from the WebNeuro test I was very disappointed in myself. I felt exactly the same when I was in grade 6 – just going through life, knowing I should improve myself but not really committed to anything, not directing my energies to anything worthwhile and not living consciously. My low’ish score was probably a blessing – it was a kick in the arse for me to reach out and live near or at my potential. In a year’s time I will see results.
An honest assessment: I’m 43 years old. I live in a small basement apartment. I’m still single, never been married, never have been in love (would like to know what that feels like) and haven’t been in a relationship in nine years. Also in my career, despite being quite knowledgeable and capable, I’ve been passed over for promotions many times. There’s no choice left for me but to be on this mission now. Better late than never.

Would like to encourage you. What a great mission. I am on a mission to save my sanity and this website is helping me so much. I have set my goals and feel confident I will be able to reach them. It is very important what we are telling our brain. The meditations and relaxation room work for reducing my anxiety. I am turning 75 and am expecting to have some great years ahead. I made some recent mistakes in relationships and was living in extreme stress which is very bad for the brain. I am talking back to the ants and making progress.
Wow! I’m in awe positiveme. I’ve had to stop doing chores around the apartment and log on because I was having a bad case of ANT’s (co-workers can have such an effect on me, even months later). I was glad to read your post and to see how you’re reaching for something better.
So I am driving down the street and some jackass cuts me off. I immediately see my life rush past me. Fortunately…no accident. Then i begin to ask myself questions. Did that moron even SEE me…..and IF he did…who the hell does that? So, I carry those thoughts with me…all day..I even tell my friends about him! I spend the next day or two…thinking about the moron. So let me ask YOU this…….Do your co-workers even REMEMBER what it is that has affected you, so many months later? I doubt it.
random acts of unkindness. Fingers ready to point and shake at you. Cutting remarks.
Someone’s ego..running you amuck. The little ANTS telling you..”SEEEE!!!!!.
The voices in your head…remembering when you were 6. Your own ego…..telling you…”humph….how dare they!”…..
I suppose I am past caring about how others view me and thankfully, I am good at my job and try hard not to judge myself..as insisting on being perfect, in it. When i screw up I ask myself….”by whose standard have i done this”? If it’s mine….I choose to say …yep…and then make it better the next time. One thing I have learned over the decades I have lived…is that….people are real happy to show you how inferior you are to them….just don’t buy into it!
and…….when you let people “screw with your head”…you also let them mess with your heart, liver, guts, and brains. Just saying!
remember when….you made Christmas cookies? ( I bet you did)…and you wanted each one of them to be…uniform, and frosted perfectly! Unfortunately, some of them were the “eat now” cause they won’t make it to the Christmas plate. Life is like that. Long, long ago..I knew I was a square peg trying to fit into round holes. I used to think that was a very bad thing! I would ask myself “why me!” Why can’t I be like every one else? Then it occurred to me…hahahahahhah “I am a pioneer!”
I live in sunny South Fla…..come January….suddenly my phone rings…..Northern friends!!
