Dr. Amen Killing the Ants - Change Your Brain Change Your Life. Warning this video is intense.

Another part to this healing journey has been learning to deal with the anxiety that comes with the life of caregiving. It is hard to be healthy if you have anxiety. Two years ago when I was still working and really sick, Melody came over in March Break. At that time I had been on keto for 3 month. Yes I had lost a few pounds by then, but my voice was still gone and I was stressed with my life. My voice became hoarse and I had a sore throat from the first of the previous September when I started at the new school. At the end of August, I got off the plane from visiting Martin's (my husband) family in England and took the job teaching the next day. It was still hard to get Martin on and off the plane as he had been in the hospital for 7 months the previous year. He had suffered a breakdown. I was so stressed too, I had been through so much. I had to clean a mouldy sink that had 3 inches of mould in it that day I arrived at my school. Little did we know that bad toxins were coming through that sink. That following March, I still had not had my appointment with the ear nose and throat doctor. I had two bouts of heavy antibiotics for strep as well. It was so much more than the illness, though. The illness and job stress was making me so anxious. While I love music and teaching, everything on the job seemed stressful being physically ill, no budget given on the job, a new job too, and my husband still needing a lot of care. In coming...March break...no Caribbean vacations yet, but Melody with the DNRS...a brain training program that helped get at those automatic negative thoughts that plagued me. It really helped. Meanwhile we were still following Dr. Berg to understand more about keto...Having some of the tools from the DNRS in my mind was amazing. It really helped me from going down the rabbit hole. I have never looked back. Although I don't practice all the tools regularly I remember some of the crazy actions and antics we learned from it. My own spiritual path becomes more of a daily restorative now. In a perfect world I guess I would keep reviewing the DNRS. Thanks again Melody for introducing it to me and keeping me focused on learning it that March Break.
