The Best You Yet….. Sharing A GREAT Book List With YOU!

Happy 2013 to you!!

A new year brings with it the wonderful anticipation for creating improvement in our lives! 

It can bring excitement for all that is possible! Isn’t that a wonderful feeling!?

This is exactly why I also get so EXTREMELY enthused about all we know, understand and are continuing to learn about the brain!! This knowledge and awareness about the brain also provides excitement for new possibilities. When we have our brains functioning best… we can be an even more effective and positive influence for the children in our lives.  And… when we better understand and provide what developing brains need most, then we can support their optimal growth!

So….Let’s make 2013 a year that we REALLY use our BRAINS!

Often, with new year resolutions we primarily focus on improving our bodies. Isn’t if funny that we don’t usually make resolutions to make positive changes for our brain? The beauty is however, if we focus on doing what is best for our brains… the health and function of our body (and many other aspects of our life) easily and dramatically improve also!

When We Provide our brains with:  

Healthy Nutrition…..

Adequate Amounts of Sleep…..

Physical Activity……

Opportunities for Fun and Play…..

 

  

Time in Nature…..

Positive Outlooks

THEN WE ……

have a better ability to focus and pay attention

have improved memory abilities

increase problem solving skills

have fewer cravings for non-nutritional foods

have greater amounts of energy

have improved and more positive moods

and overall better and healthier lives!!

Brainy Book List!

So, here is a list of 13 brain books, that I want to share with you for your Fabulous 2013!!

Some are adult focused and some are focused on the brains of children.
