Affirmations for tough times...

Affirmations are so important!
When we are conceived, let’s say, we all start with the same amount of brain reserve. Many things can decrease it and many things can increase it. For example, if your mother smoked, drank alcohol or was under constant stress when she was pregnant with you, likely she decreased your brain’s reserve, even before you were born. If she exercised, ate a healthy diet, and took prenatal vitamins, likely she increased your reserve.

If you fell off a bunk bed onto your head at age of ten, were exposed to chronic stress from alcoholic parents or drank much alcohol or used drugs as a teenager you decreased your brain’s reserve. On the other hand, if you protected your head, were raised by reasonably loving, consistent parents, ate a healthy diet and avoided drugs and alcohol you increased your reserve.

The exciting news is that it is never too late to work on increasing your brain’s reserve.

Anything you do that harms how your brain decreases its reserve. Some examples:
• Chronic stress kills cells in the memory centers (hippocampus) of the brain
• Brain injuries, concussions, or other types of physical head trauma
• Too much alcohol or drug abuse
• Negative thinking disrupts healthy brain function
• Poor diet/nutrition
• Environmental toxins
• And, anything that decreases blood flow to the brain, such as a lack of sleep, untreated sleep apnea, smoking or too much caffeine, steals from your reserve

Likewise, living a brain healthy life will increase your brain’s reserve and your ability to deal with the inevitable stresses that come your way.

It saddens me as I am writing this. You all know my work is my passion.

As you know, cities and states across the country are calling for non-essential business shutdowns in order to curb the spread of COVID-19. Massage therapy services are included in these mandates as of March 20.

My business will be closed until further notice and I will continue to monitor any updates.

During this time, I will continue to offer gift certificates for those special occasions.

Thank you for your understanding, stay well and hope to see you soon,

Deb Gerhard

New Years - Food For Thought

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Mark Twain
