@WholeExpression @kimianora Enjoy your beliefs. Biology gives you life and keeps you alive. You don't have to believe in it. Live well.

[cosmodreams @cosmodream45560]

@WholeExpression @kimianora Exactly. Same for you. Journey well.

[cosmodreams @cosmodream45560]

@WholeExpression @kimianora Spirit is a belief system. Ego protects belief systems. A belief is a repeated thought pattern. Human nervous‑system function stays the same regardless of what you believe.

[cosmodreams @cosmodream45560]

@WholeExpression @kimianora Ego has nothing to do with how the nervous system functions. It only affects how someone interprets biology, not how biology actually works.

[cosmodreams @cosmodream45560]

@WholeExpression @kimianora Thought is a function of the nervous system, it’s part of the body. Behavioural change doesn’t happen at the level of thought alone, there are multiple layers involved.

IF I GET DEMENTIA…..
I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things.

1a. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Dad - it’s Amanda.”
NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety.

• If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality.

• If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.

• If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.

• If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.

• If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.

• If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.

• If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.

• If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.

• If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.

• If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.

• If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.

• If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.

• If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.

• If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live. With a bus and activities!!

• If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.

• If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places.
Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.

• If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.

• If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.

• If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.

• If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.

• If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.”

ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴀsᴛᴇ in Honor of someone you know or knew who has dementia. In Honor of all those I know and love and lost who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimer’s.

Frederick Douglass explained that slave masters used sports as a means of “keeping down the spirit of insurrection.” It was a momentary distraction but they worked as “as conductors, or safety-valves, to carry off the rebellious spirit of enslaved humanity.” To a large degree, sports serves the same function for us today. Many of us invest a great deal of time, energy, and money into what is ultimately a form of entertainment which does very little to advance our liberation.

@GutOptimized @developer134135 Lol, sure. Ross, you are supposed to be the systems physiology guy. I thought you would understand the nervous system, my mistake.

[cosmodreams @cosmodream45560]

@GutOptimized I’m not reframing your argument,just addressing the claim that trauma is overrated. My reply is about the physiology behind why trauma meaningfully affects cognition and can’t be reduced to thought‑training alone.

@Celastine01 @TheCinesthetic She is great in the TV series, 'Lessons in Chemistry' (2023). A good watch.

@mkoskul @heavensbvnny Oh Michael, you used to be so self contained. All this expressive trendy nonsense.

[cosmodreams @cosmodream45560]

@thenellvh @kimianora Yes, behavior rewires biology. But behavior is already an output of the nervous system. Regulation isn’t an excuse; it’s what makes new behavior possible. ‘Just act different’ only works for people whose physiology allows it. Regulation is the practice that makes healing possible
