Meditation, Botox Day Tomorrow, Tuesday, July 19
Mused while sipping homemade root beer from the Root Beer Stand on Reading Road in Sharonville.
Botox Day is Tuesday July 19 with discounts on Botox and fillers such as Juvederm. Botox is $13/unit or $195/syringe (normally $16/unit and $240/syringe) and fillers are 10% off. Voluma is an injectable filler that augments and lifts the cheeks.
Want to increase your mind’s learning and memory ability while decreasing anxiety? Forget about meditation associated with incense, chants, and weird sitting positons. It’s a gradual taming of the mind.
There are three simple steps. First, sit in an upright comfortable position. Secondly, bring your full attention to your breath. Lastly, when you attention strays, and it will, come back to the breath.
(Did You Know? A Harvard study found that after 8 weeks of mediation, subjects had increases in the hippocampus which helps learning and memory and decreases in the amygdala which is associated with fear, stress and anxiety.)
How is this really done? Sit and count your breaths in and out until you get to 10. Got distracted? Start over.
How should I feel? Calmer, but it can feel like work. Just refocus on breath.
When should I do it? Your willpower is usually better in the morning, but meditate at the same time and place each day.
How long? How often? Try 10 minutes. If too long switch to five. Consistency is the key.
When do I see benefits? Studies show brain changes in eight weeks but you’re likely to feel more relaxed in less time.

This week’s joke: The Republican National Committee is meeting in Cleveland this week to elect Donald Trump as their candidate for the presidential election this fall. His motto is to “Make American Great Again” and it is on the ball caps he wears. So…
Let’s ban shredded cheese and make America grate again!
