One Month of Apollo Neuro 2x Per Day Left Me More Focused, Calm and Rested

One of the most important things that I have learned is that our nervous system is flexible and it can be influenced.

We can change and we don’t have to move mountains to do it. We can use different inputs to get different outputs. One such input that can influence our bodies is vibration.

I would swallow it, bottle it up, and store it until the pressure became too great, and then I would blow.

Assess Your Life

Assess Your Life

How satisfied are you with your life? Can you sum up your response in a sentence or two or is it more complex than that?

Today, we are going to use a simple tool called the “Wheel of Life” to conduct a life assessment to determine where you are satisfied and where you have opportunities to increase your satisfaction.

Life has its natural ebb and flow and ups and downs. By taking a closer look at how satisfied you are in different areas of your life you can identify trends in a particular area. Is there a consistent area where you are not satisfied? What can you do to shift that?

If you're on track to make a change and you're finding that you're hitting a wall, it's not that it's the wrong change. It's not that you can't do it. It doesn't have anything to do with your ability to make this change. It's just that you started too big.
