dent. You realize that you control your own destiny.” ~ Albert Ellis
Blame is delicious. It is just so luxuri- ous to marinate in it. We savor the linger- ing finish because we feel so cradled by the thought that if it all is someone else’s fault then we are off the hook, and that feels so freeing. Yet the opposite is true. It is like Pinocchio’s Pleasure Island where everything at first seems so lovely and then its true darkness emerges once you're hooked. The reality is the more you give away
your power to others in the form of blame the less you are able to change in your life. Only when you take ownership for your actions, reactions and circumstances can you turn the ship in another direction. No one steers the boat from the promenade deck – you have to be willing to get into the captain’s chair if you want to set your own course.
1. Where have you blamed others for something that is not working in your life? Make a list. 2. Pick one small item on your list and brainstorm new ways you could handle the situation. Start small to build your skills.
3. What help can you get to boost your skills to steer your own ship?
DOSE OF HAPPINESS DISH UP A BIG 5.
“Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.” ~ Dale Carnegie
“The talent for being happy is appreciat- ing and liking what you have, instead of what you don’t have.” ~ Woody Allen
If you polled 100,000 people they all
would put being happier on their list of Resolutions. In fact, if you pulled back the curtain and looked behind almost all New Year’s resolutions the implication is if I do this thing (lose weight, get a new job, etc.) then I will feel happier.
Ironically this thinking is the reason
for most of your failures. Because when you get that thing and it doesn’t solve your underlining feeling of unhappiness, then you lose your enthusiasm and your resolve dissolves. You then set your sights on the next thing in the hopes that it will do the trick. And so on.
Neurofeedback Associates, Inc. providing individualized client-centered solutions
to improve brain performance since 2000
Neurofeedback is direct training of brain function, by which the brain learns to function more efficiently.
The irony is that your happiness is
buried in all the things you want to fix or change. Once you accept them and every- thing else about your life as it is right now then you are able to be happy regardless of outside circumstances. From this van- tage point you can make real, lasting changes and enjoy the journey at the same time.
1. What are the things you think need to change in your life to make you happy? 2. How can you embrace them just as they are right now? 3. What support would make this process easier for you?
IGNITE YOUR PASSIONATE CURIOSITY
6.
“I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
“I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” ~ Albert Einstein
What are you passionately curious about? Is there something you’ve always wanted to do, or learn or someplace you’ve always wanted to see? Use this as your #1 and only New
Year’s resolution. Ditch the restrictions you are about to set upon yourself and list the things that come to mind when you ask yourself this question. This alone will make 2014 look so differently for you. It will feel like a year of living to its fullest instead of the same old grind. Shift your focus from your traditional list to this list and see what magic opens up in your life!
We are proud to offer the
19 channel LORETA brain training, which is able to target more precise regions in the brain than traditional surface neurofeedback. This method is so superior that it is currently being used by the US Army at 2 of its
Wounded Warrior clinics to treat head injury and PTSD.

1. What are the things you find exciting, fascinating or interesting? Prioritize them from most urgent or interesting to least. 2. Pick your top 5 and brainstorm ways you can experience them on some level, even on a small level. For example, if you are fascinated by African culture but cannot go to Africa right away, then try the new Ethiopian restaurant that just opened as a first step. 3. What support can you get to help you create these experiences in your life so they actually materialize in an easy, smooth way?
