If you were granted three wishes, what would you wish for?✨

Why does life have to be about such strict competition? Where's the beauty in that? We're all constantly striving to look better, be better, make more money than and out run our competition. But how are we supposed to love our neighbour if this is constantly the case? Moreover, how are we supposed to respect ourselves when we feel as though we are never quite good enough? That we must pass everyone else in order to finally 'make it?' Where will this lead us? What kind of world is this creating?

Metacognition; an awareness of one's own cognition. The process of thinking about thinking. Knowing about knowing. Being aware of one's own awareness.

It is a new year, but is it a new you? 

Don’t feel like you must completely change yourself into a whole new person now that it’s 2020. You do not have to change your entire look, beliefs, and lifestyle. You do not have to reverse yourself into someone completely different. 

Instead, look for areas in which you would genuinely like to improve upon. Can you be wiser, kinder, or more considerate? Maybe become more self disciplined, task oriented, or patient? 

There are countless ways that we are able to develop ourselves, and instead of being forced to become someone completely different, one should instead try to become the best version of none other than themselves. 

What is it that you hope to work on within yourself? What self growth goals does 2022 bring for you?

Quick fact. Ready? Tao is a kind of protein that surrounds and protects neurons in the brain. With a hard hit to the head, such as a concussion, the amount of Tao increases. This may be good initially, but with continued head trauma, the Tao may begin to build up. Be careful, for too much of this protein surrounding neurons has the potential to disrupt one's level of cognitive functioning and/or concentration. Please, always take of your yourself, protect your body, and ensure that you are taking safety precautions no matter what. Wearing a bike helmet and seat belt may not make you the coolest kid on the block, but your health is far more important than anything else!

Quick fact. Ready? While we are asleep, our brain goes into a 'detoxifying' mode, in which it washes away any debris that may have caught onto it. If one gets insufficient sleep, some of this plaque may remain on the brain, and one may experience more confusion and difficulty thinking if this chronic sleep deprivation persists.
