Hello Book! . . . by N.M Bodecker

Hello book!
What are you up to?
Keeping yourself to yourself,
Shut in between your covers,
A prisoner high on a shelf.

Come in book!
What is your story?
Haven't you ever been read?
Did you think
I would just pass by you
And pick me a comic instead?

No way book!
I'm your reader
I open you up.
Set you free.
Listen, I know a secret!
Will you share your secrets with me?


~ Chill Out And Read ~

It Will Come
~ Nathan Watson ~

When life's largest pressures leave you struck dumb,
Just search for an answer ; the solution will come.

When a tragedy occurs leaving you feeling numb,
Just wait for your health ; the strength will come.

When everyone relies on you and there is no way you can see,
Trust your mind to think with time ; patience is the key.

When you have made it where others always flee,
Just wait to gather courage, soon you'll be where you want to be.

When it is nearing the end and you're in need,
Muster up your courage ; endurance will lead.
IT WILL COME.

Can't Stop Thinking! . . Workaholic.

A workaholic or ergomaniac is a person who is addicted to work. The term generally implies that the person enjoys their work ; it can also imply that they simply feel compelled to do it. There is no generally accepted medical definition of such a condition, although some forms of stress, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder can be work-related.

Workaholics can't stop thinking about work. Workaholics are very controlling. They can't delegate and are not usually interested in being team players. They are perfectionists and nothing is ever good enough for them. Workaholics would rather handle everything themselves, which doesn't always produce the necessary results because we often need the input and help of others.

Boost Your Memory!

7 Simple Ways To Improve Your Memory :

1. Write about your problems.
A more efficient working memory contributes to better learning, planning, reasoning and more. One way to increase working memory capacity indirectly is through expressive writing.

2. Look at a natural scene.
Nature has a magical effect on us. In one study people who walked around an arboretum did 20% better on a memory test than those who went for a walk around busy streets.

3. Say words aloud.
A study found memory improvements of 10% for words said out loud or even just mouthed : a relatively small gain, but a tiny cost.

4. Meditate ( a bit )
In one recent study, participants who meditated for 4 sessions of only 20 minutes, once a day, saw boosts to their working memory and other cognitive functions.

5. Predict your performance.
When Meier et al (2011) tested people's prospective memory ( remembering to do something in the future ), they found that trying to predict performance was beneficial. On some tasks people's performance increased by almost 50%.

6. Use your body to encode memories.
We don't just think with our minds, we can also use gestures to encode memories.

7. Use your body to remember.
Since our bodies are important in encoding a memory, they can also help retrieving it. We are able to retrieve positive memories when we are happy.

Probably the best way of improving your overall cognitive health is exercise. Studies regularly find that increasing aerobic fitness is particularly good for executive function and working memory.

" Tell me and I'll forget,
Show me and I may remember,
Involve me and I'll understand "
