I recently watched Oprah interview Brene Brown, the author of Daring Greatly.
“Vulnerability is the cornerstone of confidence” says Oprah who lives her life in the face of vulnerability. Oprah can be breathtakingly real and open. She says that is what makes the difference to her connection to her audience. She aims to live as a whole hearted person and take the risks. Really we are just like everybody else and allowing vulnerability gives you confidence. What you really need in life is to be more of your self. What does this mean? Daring greatly is to show up and be seen.
Brene discussed the the following comments related to her research into what people believe is vulnerability.


People want to hear that you are there for them. Don’t be the one who avoids that call and feels ashamed when you see them a few months later at the shops.







There are times when everyone needs support. We are all vunerable at times. Listen, Listen, Listen.

First date after my divorce
Trying to get pregnant after my third miscarriage
Sitting with my wife who has stage 4 breast cancer making plans for our young children
Phoning a person who has had a great loss.

I believe it is valuable to be authentic. This is along the same lines as the above discussion on vulnerability. It includes the concept of lightening up on your self judgement. You see if you believe you always have to be right, when you make a mistake, you take it out on yourself, beat yourself up! If you can let it go, accept that you are human, you can accept others when they are less than perfect. It opens the door to you being more realistic, and having better relationships with others.

A unique, all-natural, vegetarian and organic health supplement - proven with clinical trials completed in Europe, the UK and the USA - has breakthrough affects on depression, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s Disease, strength training, stress reduction and libido. A key ingredient is one of the best documented but least known food supplements, first researched in the 1920s by a Canadian doctor, developed in the 1990s by the Norwegian government and proven during the last twenty years. New innovations now make this available to the public in the UK for the first time in a unique all-natural formula.
Depression is a common mental disorder. Globally, more than 350 million people of all ages suffer from depression which, according to the World Health Organisation, is the leading cause of disability worldwide and a major contributor to the global burden of disease.
About a quarter of the UK population experience a mental health problem every year, with depression affecting 1 in 5 older people. Self-harm statistics for the UK, including suicide, show one of the highest rates in Europe: 400 per 100,000 population.
Depression, Alzeimers, Parkinsons and other mental illness are often accompanied by suppressed immune systems resulting in poor health and extreme tiredness. According to BUPA, around 250,000 people in the UK have chronic fatigue syndrome.
“We are so excited by the potential to massively increase the health of families – without dangerous drugs or unaffordable expense” reports Angela Wright MBE, who created the Crealy Great Adventure Parks in Devon and Cornwall and is now co-founder of Get Your Boom! Back.
“Get your Boom! Back was founded with a rebellious spirit and a life-changing objective: to offer revolutionary, real food formulas combined with cutting edge technology to bring health and zest which is clinically proven and guaranteed.
We’ve spent thousands of hours researching and testing, uncovering secrets that the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t want people to know. As a farmer’s daughter, I’ve been obsessed with combining real food goodness with cutting edge technology, without polluting our planet or ourselves. We’ve combined this discovery of what I term “pure life-force” into a unique formula called AminoBoosters - free from artificial additives, GMO or other unnatural harmful ingredients.
The pure life-force is from – of all things – fertilized, incubated, organic hens’ eggs from the pristine forests of Norway. These snowy white eggs are incubated for 9 days then only the albumen (egg white) harvested in such a way as to capture the potent “life-force”, providing all the important amino acids necessary to restore a normal hormonal balance in conjunction with the vitamins and minerals that are important for the wellbeing of our nervous system. Capturing this pure, organic life-force at this moment was originally pioneered back in the 1920s, developed by the Norwegian government in the 1990s, proven and perfected by our award-winning exclusive partners.
The unique formula we have created is called AminoBoosters andis groundbreaking. I’m so excited to be launching it here in Devon, where I grew up on the farm.”
All the amino acids needed for human life are contained within the AminoBoosters formula: these vital building blocks for the body normalise the secretion of stress hormones, boosting serotonin and dopamine. People who use this food supplement report increased energy and libido, deeper sleep and the documented beneficial effects on stress management and depression. The AminoBoosters® formula contains no artificial additives and is safe to use by men, women and children who face physical and psychological challenges.
Clinical trials and hundreds of testimonials prove evidence of relief from depression, dementia, Alzeimers and Parkinson’s Disease, arthritis, tiredness, lack of libido and an impaired immune system.
Doctors recommending the secret ingredient include Dr. Roald Strand, a Norwegian doctor who is a member of The Norwegian Medical Association (DNLF) and AAEM – the American Academy of Environmental Medicine. Dr Strand says, Medicine.
“ In October 2013 I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. When I was encouraged to try the food supplement YTE® I was intrigued.
“YTE restored my energy and balance! Traditional medicine helped to a certain point - YTE brought me to a higher quality of living.
“After a week using YTE® I felt a significant increase in energy. I felt stronger. Normal everyday tasks like carrying groceries, walking up stairs or simply going for a walk that just a few weeks ago felt like a struggle, were now much easier.
“The improvement has continued and I feel I have recovered at least 80 % of my functional level. I continue using YTE® and recommend it to my patients: I believe patients with neurological problems greatly benefit, also people suffering from lack of energy… people can experience many health benefits from taking YTE®.”
A human clinical study published in the scientific journal Clinical Nutrition reports that one of the key ingredients of AminoBoosters®, YTE®, is proven to significantly improve people’s ability to tolerate acute mental stress, normalizes hormonal responses and has a positive effect in anxiety.
Another human clinical study accepted for publication, demonstrates that the AminoBoosters® ingredient YTE® is an effective treatment in alleviating depression and acts as a powerful mood enhancer. Both studies are published in scientific articles in peer reviewed psychology journals.
The two clinical studies formed part of a large project of exploration: the first indications of a benefit in the treatment of depression and mood disorders were discovered in 1997, when a pilot study at the University of Denver revealed an improvement in depression as well as a reduction in the severity of adverse side- effects during medication for depression.
“Much of the food we eat has become “dead and sterilized” adds Angela.
“There is huge confusion about RDAs (“recommended daily allowances”) of vitamins and minerals; our water supplies are contaminated with farm animal antibiotics and industrial toxins; as a result, ever-increasingly compromised immune systems, IBS, stress, depression and other diseases make it hard for people to live life to the full.
“We are making AminoBoosters® available to help families take care of their health – without dangerous drugs or unaffordable expense” summarises Angela.
“AminoBoosters® revolutionary, real food formulas combined with cutting edge technology is clinically proven and guaranteed.

What have you been thinking about lately? What do you feed your mind?

Unfortunately much of our entertainment is laced with death and destruction. Our subconscious does not sort out fact from fiction, and when we constantly bombard ourselves with fear based programs or information, some of it filters in. Repetition is the way we establish our memory, and this is part of the reason studies have shown how desensitized we become to destructive thought patterns when we are exposed to violence. Children have lower brain wave states than adults, leaving them with little defence and extremely susceptible to this kind of “brain food”. Worth thinking about?

All in the Mind – topics toward positive change

How can you wind down to manage stress?

The one thing you can control is the way you think. Stress is not all bad; in fact stress is part of your internal motivation.

Observe your thoughts. Are they positive or negative?

Many of us are constantly bombarded with mindless chatter from self-talk (I call it the babbler).

Do you get any rest from your babbler? Moments of quiet equate to inner peace. Gaps without thought even for a few seconds will give your mind some relief. With practice you can increase this break in thinking and when you do, you will find you are well on your way to happiness. After all, peace and happiness are what we ultimately desire – would you agree?
