Neuroscientists Reveal That Some Brain Waves Are More Than Background Noise

Solopreneur vs. EntrepreneurA solopreneur acts as a specific type of entrepreneur. But while an entrepreneur may hire W-2 designated employees, a solopreneur does not; Instead, they run their business single-handedly without a hired staff.

I’ve been on holiday. It’s nice to go away, but it’s even nicer to get home. The older I get, the more I appreciate the unique comforts of my own house.

Spring is the season for new beginnings, a time to renew and recharge.  But more importantly just as we do a regular ‘spring clean’ of our home to declutter our personal space we should also be focused on a ‘spring cleanup for our mind’ as well.   After all, it is your mental thoughts that create your life’s destinyDeclutter your mind, what a fabulous idea!  Begin to rid yourself of any negative thoughts and behaviours you have harbored from the past in order to live a fulfilling life now.   Let’s use a seed we plant in the earth as an analogy.  With enough nurturing and care that seed will bloom into a beautiful plant or flower.   However, at the same time if you are not taking care of it weeds will begin to grow and the plant will die off and wither away from a lack of attention. What I do know for a fact is ‘thoughts are things’.    When you plant positive thoughts into your magnificent mind you will create positive outcomes.   Similar to a seed planted in the earth that has a set pattern destined by nature to grow into fruition we also have the ability to materialize into any self image we want thru concentrated effort.   So, like the seed, if your thought is ‘planted’, ‘nurtured’ and cared for those focused thoughts will manifest into physical reality.   Just like the miracle of tulip bulbs that quietly grow beneath the earth surface popping up thru the cold wintry ground they manifest into a beautiful flower.  Well, we can do the very same thing with a proper mindset! You have the ability to pull ‘negative weeds’ from your mind.

My article for Spiked:Global warming is real. It is also – so far – mostly beneficial. This startling fact is kept from the public by a determined effort on the part of alarmists and their media allies who are determined to use the language of crisis and emergency.

My article for the Telegraph:The news that Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, head of the World Health Organisation, is to attend the Winter Olympics in Beijing is baffling on a number of levels. Has he not got a day job to do? There is a pandemic on.“Sources close to” him say it would be a “political statement to turn down the invitation”, which indicates ludicrous delusions of grandeur: he is a bureaucrat, not a head of state, let alone a “dignitary”.But if Adhanom Ghebreyesus does want to play the politician, with most Western governments boycotting the games, his attendance shows an alarming complacency about the persecution of the Uyghurs, the crushing of freedom in Hong Kong and the lack of transparency in finding the source of Covid-19.It is worth listing the ways in which the Chinese authorities have failed to help the WHO do its job over the past two years.

I have always believed that I am simultaneously too much and not enough. Too complicated, too intense, and too needy. Not sufficiently sunny in my outlook or flexible enough in how I meet the world. Most of all, not compelling enough to be inherently lovable.

major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder is that it has impacted my ability to focus on others rather than on myself. The more I think of just myself, the worse my depression and anxiety. It seems like a spiral downward.

Every employee has felt the effects of workplace stress. Even a job you adore can be difficult. You may be under time pressure to meet a deadline or perform a challenging assignment. On the other hand, chronic workplace stress can be overwhelming and harmful to physical and mental health.

Dear Newly Diagnosed Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) Warrior,

When you wonder how to get a quick divorce in Nebraska, we understand that the phrase “just don’t quarrel with your spouse” is unlikely to satisfy you. However, there are several fast divorce options in the state. So, let’s take a detailed look at each of the fastest ones.

Even though I’d had symptoms of mental illness most of my life, I was not diagnosed with schizophrenia (which later changed to schizoaffective disorder, then bipolar, then major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder) until I was 37. Schizophrenia is a lot to serve up on anyone’s plate, especially when they are wearing a blindfold and you don’t tell them the ingredients. I had no idea what the diagnosis meant, but it did leave a bad taste in my mouth, so to speak. I had to self-educate via internet. What followed was an encyclopedia of mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, and much more. Due to both the diagnosis and the medications, my attitude toward myself changed. Before, I had seen myself as whole, with some difficulties others didn’t seem to have. But I had an excellent job at a major medical center, a husband of 13 years, a new house I had designed, creative outlets, and my family of origin and friends. With a diagnosis in hand, I felt defective and “not good enough.”

When you ask the vast majority of people what is harder being a stay-at-home mom or working, most of them would believe that being a stay-at-home mother was easy. However, for those of us who know firsthand – it’s anything but.I’ve heard it all: stay-at-home moms are lazy, or they need to get a real job, or they should work and tend to their kids. The list goes on and on, and honestly, it’s pretty ignorant.A long time ago, I would have honestly even agreed with them.

I’m not sure when I first started to think that I may have autism. It was something I pieced together over time, little things jumping out at me as I recognized myself in others. I’m an early childhood educator, so I spent a lot of time learning about autism, Down syndrome, ADHD, etc. And over the years I’ve worked with many children on the spectrum in various positions such as support staff and teacher. I started seeing myself in the case studies for school projects, I could relate to the children in my care. There was a little voice inside my head telling me to look into this further, but there was a bigger voice in my head that told me that I was being overdramatic and it was silly for me to even consider the idea. I don’t match the stereotypes.

Areva Martin is an award-winning attorney, best-selling author, legal commentator, talk show host, and a critical voice for social justice. She has a son, Marty, who has autism. I interviewed Areva Martin for Black History Month because her advocacy for Marty reminded me of my own mom. When I was diagnosed at age 7 with autism, my mom quit her job as an art teacher and became a full-time Ron teacher. Like Areva Martin, my mom fought hard for the accommodations and resources I required to succeed in school and graduate from college.

March 13, 2020. It was Popcorn Friday at my kids’ elementary school. I stood in front of a well-used popcorn machine that morning with two other moms and filled countless small wax paper bags for the hundreds of students at our school. Eventually, we ran out of kernels, so I quickly drove to a local store for more. On my way to check out, I snagged a lone six-pack of toilet paper sitting on an end cap. I had heard about a toilet paper shortage and hadn’t had time to make my usual Costco run. I also knew that our upcoming Spring Break would be part of a “two weeks to flatten the curve” effort for something that was being called COVID-19, and I definitely did not want to run out while we hunkered down. I felt dutifully prepared and confident when I brought that six-pack of toilet paper home.

For as long as I could remember, words were always trapped inside my head. I was always the quiet one. The silent one everyone forgot about or overlooked. At home, I spent my time alone in my room with my cats. People often talked about me as if I was deaf and could not hear them simply because I did not speak. They asked others if I could speak instead of asking me.

Dear Mandie,

Author Joan Didion, who passed away in December of last year, wrote the following in her book, “A Year of Magical Thinking,” after the unexpected, sudden death of her husband, John Dunne:

Lizzo swearing it’s her secret for success, manifestation is certainly having its moment. And after a few years of feeling so out of control, it only makes sense that a practice that teaches that you are in the driver’s seat of your own life would be trending (even above #fetapasta and #dogsoftiktok, thank you very much).

A few weeks ago I launched my startup. It took exactly 12 months from the initial idea until the moment I saw my app in the App Store. And these were some of the most challenging, fun and exciting 12 months of my whole life.Before we dive deeper, a quick disclaimer.

My battle with an eating disorder began when I was 20 years old and in nursing school. Really, I had had disordered eating from a very young age, but it didn’t become a diagnosable problem until I was 20. When I was very young, around 7 years old, my mother put me on diets, introduced obsessive thinking towards weight, calories, exercise, and constantly shamed me for my eating habits and made me feel as though the body I had wasn’t good enough.
