I will always love you, Whitney Houston

The Science of Love, by John Gottman
In my quest to post on Brain Health Awareness throughout June, I suddenly realised love and relationships contribute to it too! I really love this TEDxVeniceBeach video by John Gottman explaining the science of love. Ps. I’d really love to go back to Venice one day too!
Walking for Brain health
On the last day of Brain health Awareness Month, it seemed appropriate to write about something I have been campaining for in varoius ways, for alost as long as I have had dementia. I’ve campaigned often to refer to (re-label) an activity as normal as walking, instead of labelling it as wandering. Something as simple…
Dementia through the disability lens
Whilst not specifically about Brain Health Awareness, I’m sharing a recent interview, which is 100% relevant to hope.

Optimism, Resilience and your Attitude
As a long time optimist with an already high level of personal and professional resilience, brought up in a dysfuncitonal family where alcohol and mental illness were rampant, and never talked about, I have had to work on my resilience to maintain my optimism. This quote from Lou Holtz resonates with me, “Your talent determines…

It usually takes a lot of time, a lot of courage, and often, a lot of support from others living with dementia, to discover you can live a meaningful purposeful life, after…
Mindfulness and Brain Health
As it is the weekend, I am sharing some beautiful relaxing music, which supports brain health and my Brain health Awreness Month blog series. Mindfullness is the human ability to be fully present, aware of where you are and what you’re doing, and not thinking or reacting to what’s going on around us. It improves…
Ditch Sugar for Brain Health!
Do it, ditch processed sugar, even if you only do it for Brain Health Awareness Month! In fact, I believe we need campaigns similar to Dry July, that encourage us to sign up to a month with no processed sugar. Honestly, I believe it’s a drug that’s worse than heroin in terms of addiction, and…

Save your brain!
It’s still Brain Health Awareness Month, and I’m on track for a daily blog, something I have not managed to achieve for many years now. In fact, it is good for my brain to be writing daily again; I had forgotten how important any for of writign or journalling can be for one’s overall health.…
