Monday, August 30, 2010. I am grateful today for people who can enjoy self-deprecating humor. Abraham Lincoln once said (when accused of being “two-faced”): “I submit, if I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?” 😮

Esther Hicks (aka “Abraham”) and her husband, Jerry Hicks, travel extensively and lecture about “The Law of Attraction.” In the following video, Esther’s voice-over is spoofing about their work, their books, their advice:

Thursday, August 26, 2010. Today I am grateful that I can have feelings of gratitude. I am grateful that I am able to smile at myself, and even laugh on occasion.

   19th Century teaching of Rabbi Bunim, who said that each of us should walk with a slip of paper in our left and right pockets. One paper should contain the phrase from the Talmud, “All of heaven and earth was created for me.” On the other should be written Abraham’s refrain from Genesis: “I am but dust and ashes.”

3. “Thank you, Natalie Shell!” – Doc Meek ………………………………………………………………………

There was a time in my life when I was over-focused on problems, complaints, and difficulties, and did not understand that I had many things for which to be grateful.

I needed to learn to take myself less seriously and make my own happiness. I am still working on that.:o

My wife Jeannette has mastered the art of being happy, even in adverse circumstances, long ago. I have a long ways to go to catch up with her. I may never catch up! 😮

I am grateful for my wife Jeannette.

Here’s to self-involvement in our own learning about how to smile at ourselves, and even laugh at ourselves . . .  gently. 😮

Tuesday, August 24, 2010. Today I saw a sign on a bus in Edmonton:

“HUNGER MAKES LEARNING HARDER,” put there by http://www.e4calberta.org/eslp.html

I am grateful for people who try to see to it that children don’t have to be in school hungry.

I’ve taught for years: “Proper nutrition makes learning easier.” 😮

Sunday, August 22, 2010, at Sherwood Park, Alberta, CANADA

Today I am grateful for a day of rest, and for learning minds such as Stephen Whitt’s, who finds wonder in the “commonplace” of every day:

“We all know that acorns grow into trees. But when they start, acorns are tiny, much smaller than the trees they will become. Where does all the “tree stuff” come from?

“The surprising answer is, trees are built mostly of air. A tree takes carbon dioxide out of the air, adds in hydrogen from water, a trace amount of other chemicals, and binds it all together with the energy of sunlight to build all the stuff that makes it a tree. A tree is a machine that turns air into tree!”

~ Stephen Whitt, from his blog: http://stephenwhitt.wordpress.com/2008/08/17/a-sense-of-wonder/

Thank  you, Stephen, for reminding us that our sense of humility and wonder, if kept softly open, can be quietly learning, even on a day of rest and recharging of our batteries, so to speak. Our learning minds never stop learning and it is nice if we can gently aim them at inspring things of every day that give us hope and courage in a world that often needs all the hope and courage it can get.

Love and Blessings, Doc Meek, Sunday, August 22, 2010, at Sherwood Park, Alberta, CANADA

P.S. My wife Jeannette and I drove from Calgary, Alberta, to Sherwood Park, Alberta, to be with my Mom, who just celebrated her 92nd birthday on August 20. Wow. I hope I am still living at home and functioning mentally when I am 92 years old! Happy birthday, Mom!

Love, your oldest Son, Collins

“Success comes to those who think new thoughts.” – Anonymous

Marci Shimoff – Happy for No Reason – Book Video 3 min – 21 Dec 2007 Uploaded by CBS www.youtube.com

In Marci Shimoff’s book entitled Happy for No Reason, she mentions that most of us (teachers and students, parents and children, and everybody else) think about 95% of the same thoughts today as we did yesterday. And will do so tomorrow.

No wonder we find that behavior change is not easy. Our thoughts, our thinking patterns, tend to drive our behavior.

So I am learning how to think new thoughts. This is not easy!

Not only that, it may not be the best way to proceed. One of my church leaders said that it is easier to behave your way to new behavior, than to think your way to new behavior.

Why this seeming contradiction?

We tend to get trapped in our familiar thinking patterns. Even if they are not productive, we seem to keep repeating them, and this may drive unwanted behavior as well as wanted behavior.

So if we go about it “backwards” and simply start behaving differently, even if this is “against the grain” so to speak, our thinking will tend to shift to reflect our new behavior patterns, even if the new behavior patterns seem ungenuine at first.

So, either way, I am learning to think new thoughts, or learning to try on new behaviors, both with a view to making myself more of who I would like to be.

Any teacher or student, parent or child–or anyone–can do this, eh?! 😮

Some have reported to me that I am gentler, kinder, more loving, and less judgmental than I used to be. So hopefully I am making progress. 😮

Relapses are to be expected. And I do have them.

“No worries mate,” as my Australian friends say.

When I stumble, I just get up, dust myself off so to speak, and walk on.

I am liking my new learnings, my new thinking patterns, and my new behavior patterns. It is not a complete makeover of course. I am keeping (obviously) some of my old thinking patterns and behavior patterns that have kept me in good stead over the years.

So its “out with the old” (some of it) and “in with the new” (some of it), with a view to becoming more of whom I wish to be, for myself and for others.

Here’s to change, to changing, and to learning how to change!

Doc Meek, Saturday, August 21,2010, at Calgary, Alberta, CANADA

P.S. Winston Churchill once remarked: “Occasionally we stumble upon the truth; usually we just get up and walk on.” 😮

Friday, August 20, 2010. Today I am grateful for my vertigo attack yesterday. Grateful?!

Image from: http://www.followmecartooning.com/cartoon_worksheets/images/cartoon_worksheet_face_unhappy.jpg

………………………………………….

Normally I am grateful for “good” things, and not grateful for “bad” things. However, I am trying to learn the next step, which is gratitude for everything. This is not easy.

The idea is to find the lesson in everything, so that we are happy even when “bad” things are happening.

The lesson in this vertigo attack? (With its accompanying nausea and vomiting?)

(1) I have much greater empathy for women who have nausea when they are pregnant.

(2) I have much greater empathy for others who suffer vertigo attacks, or even simply vertigo dizziness which is not much fun.

(3) I am grateful for the two ordained Elders from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (my church), who came to give me a Blessing late last evening; their willingness to come and administer to me when I was so sick comforted me in and of itself, and the Blessing helped me to feel better overnight and this early morning. Thank you, guys! Thanks be to heavenly powers that exceed our own meagre supply, eh? 😮

(4) I am grateful for the distilled water and some bananas the Elders brought for me, which I saved until this morning when my stomach has settled down.

(5) I am grateful for Jeannette, my wife, who called the Elders to come and give me a Blessing. I am grateful that she offered to take me to the hospital if necessary. I am grateful that she darkened the room so my vertigo would not be aggravated. I am grateful that she comforted me when I was so sick.

(6) I am grateful that my stomach has settled down (at last).

(7) I am grateful for unknown valuable lessons which will no doubt be revealed to me as time passes onward.

Here’s to happiness and hope even in the face of misery! 😮

Doc Meek, Friday, August 20, 2010, at Calgary, Alberta, CANADA

P.S. I am grateful to be in a country where I am not going hungry every day, day after day! I am grateful I don’t live in an appressive regime!

P.S.S. I am grateful that I live where I can get good medical help if my illness were to be worse than I could handle on my own! 😮

====================================

Joe Btfsplk, the world’s worst jinx, in this excerpt from the March 20, 1947 strip

Joe Btfsplk was a character in the satirical comic strip Li’l Abner by cartoonist Al Capp (1909–1979). He’s well-meaning, but is the world’s worst jinx, bringing disastrous misfortune to everyone around him. A small, dark rain cloud perpetually hovers over his head to symbolize his bad luck. Hapless Btfsplk and his ever-present cloud became one of the most iconic images in Li’l Abner.

One storyline in the early 1970s features him trapping his cloud in a special anti-pollutant jar. Joe becomes romantically involved with a gal for the first time—until her crazed ex-boyfriend shows up to kill him. Joe reluctantly opens the jar and releases his cloud in order to take care of the boyfriend, and wistfully realizes that he wasn’t meant for any other kind of life. As he returns to his normal, loner existence, his cloud once again in tow, he is for the moment satisfied to be who he really is.

In addition to the obvious comic effect, Capp often used Joe Btfsplk as a deus ex machina to produce miraculous rescues or to effect plot twists. Joe was later licensed for use in a series of animated TV commercials for Head & Shoulders, a dandruff shampoo.

Etymology

According to Al Capp, btfsplk is a rude sound. During public lectures, Capp demonstrated this phatic sound by closing his lips, leaving his tongue sticking out, and then blowing out air, which is colloquially called a “raspberry” or Bronx cheer. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Thank you, Al Capp! Today I want to remind us we don’t have to accept who we “are.” We can change our mind, change our behavior and change our achievement.

Years ago, I worked with a grade seven student who was failing science. (He was failing everything else too, and we decided to start with science.)

Doc Meek: “Well, Sam [not his real name], what was your mark on your last science exam?”

Sam: “24%.”

Doc: “Do you like your science teacher?”

Sam: “I hate my science teacher.”

Doc: “OK, here’s the deal. How would you like to go on hating your science teacher and get 74% on your next science exam a month from now?”

Sam: ” . . . Uh . . . [mumbles] . . . that’s not possible!!”

Doc: “Want to try me?”

Sam: “I can’t do that!”

Doc: “What?”

Sam: “Get a higher mark when I hate my science teacher!”

Doc: “I’ll show you how to do it, OK”

Sam: “It won’t happen [defeated tone].”

Doc: “OK, just follow my instructions and we’ll see how it goes, OK? I’ll show you how to use your brain differently and watch your marks go up, OK?”

[Sam did the work. He started using his brain differently. Things got better for him at school, both in the classroom and out of the classroom as well.]

Doc [five weeks later]: “Sam, what mark did you get on your science exam that you wrote the other day?”

Sam: “74%.”

Doc: “Impossible!”

Sam: “No, I got 74%.”

Doc: “Do you still hate your science teacher?”

Sam: “Yah . . . he’s really not that great you know. He’s not as bad as he used to be though.”

Doc: “Well, that’s good. Don’t get carried away though, eh? Don’t start liking him a lot. Your marks may go down.”

Sam [grinning from ear to ear]: “I’ll try to keep on not liking him.” 😮

[Then, inexplicably, Sam started to cry.]

Doc: “Whatcha thinking?”

Sam: “Why didn’t somebody show me this [how to use my brain in school] in grade one? It would have stopped all the hell I went through for years!”

Doc: “They didn’t know. I’m doing teacher trainings now. That should help a bit. Maybe the university will start putting it in the teacher training courses, eh? Wouldn’t that be nice?” 😮

Sam continued to do well in school and became a “different person” all around. He was really the same person. He had just learned to use his brain differently. That’s all.

“And that has made all the difference,” as Robert Frost averred many years ago now, in this poem entitled, “The Road Not Taken.”

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

– Poem from http://www.PoemHunter.com …………………………………………….

Thank you, Robert Frost! And PoemHunter.com!

Saturday, August 14, 2010. Today I am overwhelmingly grateful for Dr. Toril Jelter, a pediatrician who is intensely focused on the improving the health and minds of our children. This is what THE LEARNING CLINIC WORLDWIDE has been advocating for years. – Doc Meek

Dr. Toril Jelter’s website is: http://www.drjelter.com

Biomedical Evaluation and Treatment of Autistic children

Today evidence-based medicine shows that:

• Autism is a medical disease, not a psychological disorder.
• Autism affects other body organ systems besides the brain.
• Autism is Treatable; Children Are Recovering

From Dr. Bryan Jepson’s book “Changing the Course of Autism”

“Biomedical treatments help the majority of children with autism, particularly if started early. The cornerstones of this treatment are dietary changes, supplementation and detoxification. Addressing medical issues and pursuing therapies simultaneously offers autistic children the best long-term outcome.”

Has your child recently been diagnosed with autism?

If so, you have probably combed every corner of the internet, literature and magazines for information about autism and available treatments. While medical science has so far not discovered a cure for this complex disease, there are fortunately many things you can do to halt its progression and in some cases even reverse its course. Until recently autism was considered to be a genetic disorder which caused a life-long developmental disability. That is changing. Today scientists realize that in most cases it is a complex interaction between genes and the environment. Understanding this is critical to treating your child.

Biographical Information

Dr. Toril Jelter is a board certified pediatrician specializing in medical and environmental aspects of autism. She received her medical degree from the University of Oslo, Norway graduating with honors in 1985. Dr. Jelter’s pediatric training was at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. She is affiliated with John Muir Medical Center and has received a physician recognition award for continuing medical education.

Dr. Jelter has participated in Defeat Autism Now Training and is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

“My goal is to improve overall function for each child in the safest, fastest and most affordable manner possible” Dr. Jelter

====================================

Friday, August 13, 2010. I read a report once about all the good and great things that have happened on Friday the 13th. So I have been delighted with Friday the 13th ever since. 😮

Today I am grateful, once again, for Stacey Grewal’s persistence in practicing what she preaches in her book, Gratitude and Goals: Create the Life You Would Love to Live. Pure genius. Who would ever have thought to connect gratitude and goals?

Here’s quick review of Stacey Grewal’s book, from her website: http://www. staceygrewal.com

Gratitude and Goals: Create the Life You Would Love to Live, by Stacey Grewal

[Stacey] intentionally made this book short and sweet. Everything you need to create the life of your dreams is already locked inside of you. Gratitude and Goals is the key to making it happen.

In just ten to fifteen minutes each day, the Gratitude and Goals Daily Journal will forever change the way you think and feel, and the way you live your life. You will accomplish more in the first thirty days of using it than you ever did before you had a plan of action. It will help you turn any hobby into a career, start a business, earn a degree, find true love, lose twenty (or even 120) pounds, clean the garage, improve your golf game, learn how to play an instrument, read War and Peace or maybe write a book of your own. It can even completely alter your way of life, helping you become a better, more successful and happier person in all areas of your life.

Gratitude and Goals is a two-part book (Book One and Book Two). It is a step-by-step, instructional guide and a daily gratitude, goal setting and personal growth journal, written for the millions who have settled for a mundane life, a mediocre job and ho-hum relationships, but who know they want and deserve more. More happiness, deeper love, greater wealth, better health, heightened spirituality, inner peace and explosive success. It’s for those who want to be the very best they can be and who want to experience all they’ve ever dreamed of. It’s for those who want to feel the throb of passion and purpose in every waking moment, but who have been either too busy or too afraid, or who just haven’t known how to achieve it.

It is for those who have waded through piles of “inspirational” books that promise: “You can have everything!” but who still find themselves eating the boxed macaroni and cheese dinner of life. I don’t know about you, but I’ve found many of the popular “self-help” books to be long on promise, but short on delivery. They fail to create any real, lasting results. Well, I’m happy to tell you that this book is different.

Book One, titled, You Are the Master of Your Today and the Creator of Your Tomorrow is a “how to” manual, spiritual teacher, personal coach and mentor. It is filled with valuable gratitude and goal setting strategies, easy to follow instructions, examples, experience and quick exercises to help you achieve the physical, emotional and spiritual prosperity you desire. It thoroughly explains why gratitude works, what you can do to achieve this remarkable feeling and, most important, how you can use it to confidently set and achieve new long term, short term and daily goals.

Gratitude and Goals is a complete mind, body and spirit system designed to help you increase self-awareness. It will help you identify those things which are running counter to your dreams, then motivate you to become accountable, and committed to changing them. After only a few weeks of working with this program, you will be astonished to find that not only has your overall success rate increased, but you will be on a new path towards enlightenment.

Book Two, The Gratitude and Goals Daily Journal, is a practical, hands-on application for those who want to do more than just talk (or read) about changing. It is a gratitude list, a goal setting journal, a personal growth support system, a to-do list, a memo pad and a progress tracker, with over 120 daily journal-style, fill-in-the-blank pages that you just won’t find in any other book. And it is so easy to use that you are guaranteed to experience real results the very first time you use it. …………………………………………………………………….
