Ever walk into a room and forget why you entered? Or completely space out during an important meeting at work? It’s frustrating, but usually normal.

Your brain is naturally primed to wander whenever it can, according to a joint study by Harvard University, Dartmouth College, and the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. Using MRI, researchers found that brain regions responsible for “task-unrelated thought” (that is, daydreaming or mind wandering) are almost constantly active when the brain is at rest or performing a task that doesn’t require concentration.

Fortunately, brain experts say it’s possible to corral that brainpower, filter out distractions, and master any task by improving your concentration. Here are their top tips for refocusing during key moments when your mind starts meandering, but shouldn’t.

Get organized
If you have several to-dos, decide what to tackle first, and clear all other projects off your desk and computer screen. “Out of sight, out of mind applies,” Kane says. “Get rid of memos, e-mails, and anything else that reminds you you’re behind.”

And go easy on your cubicle’s decor. “Even family photos are potential thought stealers,” Kane adds, because they’re people you’re prone to worry about….

Time for a Supershake Update!

I hope you all are doing wonderfully!

Some good news! Soon after posting the supershake videos, I learned a ton of you guys have started making them! You can’t imagine how happy I am about this. Starting your day off this way offers such a huge blast of vitality to your health and daily endeavors. Stay with it! New invigoration, inspiration and direction of lifestyle will follow suit if it hasn’t started already!

Okay. In the last few weeks, I’ve received a number of messages asking if I’ve modified my shake at all. The answer is, yes I have. So quite a few people replied requesting me to post all the ingredients I use now. Hence this blog entry.

Let’s take a closer look into the supershake, see the ingredient list that makes it tick, and I’ll discuss the latest changes I’ve done as well as a few plans I have for the near future….

Metaplasia 2010

What is Metaplasia 2010?

There are two answers to that question. Both are relevant to you.

First, as defined by Wikipedia: Metaplasia (Greek: “change in form”) is the reversible replacement of one differentiated cell type with another mature differentiated cell type. The change from one type of cell to another is generally caused by some sort of abnormal stimulus. In simplistic terms, it is as if the original cells are not robust enough to withstand the new environment, and so they change into another type more suited to the new environment. If the stimulus that caused metaplasia is removed or ceases, tissues return to their normal pattern of differentiation.

In more simple terms, when cells are faced with a situation that requires more then they can handle – they adapt and evolve. This change in form is called metaplasia.

Metaplasia is only one way cells can change but is a real process… and an amazing one.

The second answer to, What is metaplasia? is personal to you. To understand something large, we can look to something small. Macro to micro or micro to macro. Each is a reflection of the other in the universe, only at different levels.

If cells in your body can change form to meet the challenges of a changing environment and you are a cell in the body of Gaia… what transformation is possible for you? Can you create a change in form to become something greater then you are now? Much greater? That answer, and the process of this transformation…

is Higher Balance’s Metaplasia 2010.

It is a week long retreat packed with such intense expansion and growth, we highly suggest making sure you plan your schedule after it’s over to “decompress” and come down from the experience. You need ample time to let it slowly unwind, to let the mandala’s of all the realizations you will bring back with you culminate… not to mention just settle back down to your pace. You don’t need to completely take time off (though many people do that after our retreats), just make sure your schedule isn’t packed and you’ve thought it out ahead of time.

If you are ready to begin this full transformation, call Higher Balance now and reserve your spot. Spaces for Metaplasia are very limited. Once the retreat center fills up registration will be over.Keep in mind, the last event sold out in 2 weeks!

Fuel efficient and powerful.  Enough said.
