  1. ive heard you say this saying alottttt of times i dont think its helpful to be honest. everyone knows eating junk food is bad, everyone knows that staying inside not exercising or smoking cigarettes is bad etc…. i think you need to ditch this saying because people need answers… they need to hear that its inflammation screwing up there brain causing mental illness… they need to hear cut out all grains and keep insulin low to reverse diabetes… i dont get why this is dr amens go to saying its to vague. people need to hear did you fail all the ssris and snris than you could have misdiagnosed adhd…..

  2. Dr Amen: In 2022, I received the diagnosis of Alzeimers. Capable, caring physicians appeared, and I've been following instructions. Like the song 'I Can See Clearly Now the Rain Has ….'.🌧 or gone but my brain has improved as I am disciplined and One Day At A Time savoring eating fresh & few chemicals……SHALOM * PEACE *

  3. All these advice, daily meditations, exercises, diets & other positive motivation, is In The Bible, Read Proverbs, Read The Book of Matthew, Jesus Teaches All This. Solomon Smartest Man, Gave These Dance Same Instructions. Pray Every Morning For Good Things To Come, God Bless Everyone 🙏❤️💪

  4. I commit to real learning by embodying what I practice, live, and use. I know that without action, knowledge is just mental clutter. Information alone doesn’t transform me—practice does. I embrace hands-on, mindful learning because my brain locks in concepts through action & repetition. My habits shape my identity, and what I do every day becomes who I am. Each habit is a vote for the person I’m becoming. When I’m present & intentional, my experiences move from theory to lived truth. Unless I put what I learn into use, it’s not learning—it’s entertainment or escape. I choose to create lasting, meaningful change by living what I learn every day.

  5. I don't trust my brain. At its best, it screwed my life up permanently. Why would I rely on it to tell me what's best for it? Because some days, it wants OUT … and not in the happy, fun walk-the-dog way.

  6. I think I would say my behavior was problematic. A worker (let's call him Tom) made some mistakes. He casually touched coworkers, like on the arms or shoulders, as an outgoing person. I corrected him, but not politely. My colleague (his boss) and I had him in her office, and I told him he shouldn't touch anyone without consent, handshakes only. And I even said to my colleague, "Is there anything you want to add?" I didn't realize how insensitive that was. That night, Tom did something amazing: he saved my life. After he left, I found a letter on the ground addressed to me. Tom apologized for his tactile behavior and admitted he had ASD. He said he never meant to upset or discomfort anyone and that he always tries to be quiet around people who seemed to not like him. It gets worse. He said he wanted to "redeem" himself. Looking back, he shouldn't have had to feel that much guilt and tell me he had ASD. That was a pretty bold thing to admit. I don't know if I would have. His excessive guiIt is my fauIt. I should've made things easier for him. His letter and heroic deed made me realize that I totally mishandled the situation. Sure, what Tom did was kind of inconsiderate and dumb, but I shouldn't have made him sound like such things. When a person makes a mistake or causes a problem, you gotta be patient and hear their side. I should've been more polite and delicate. I was being kind of jerk. I don't even know why I had my colleague in the room with us, let alone offered her a chance to lecture Tom too. I should've just spoken to him alone and said we all make mistakes, as opposed to making him feel like a bad guy and fool. It's okay to occasionally touch a coworker, depending on who and when. Like if you're sharing a laugh with a good work buddy, for example. It wasn't all or nothing. When I see Tom, I'm gonna apologize to him.
