She spoke on Sunday about toxic thoughts and how we cannot grow beautifully when we dwell on these toxic thoughts. It is the quality of our thoughts, choices, and reactions that determine our brain's growth and our quality of heath. We cannot control our circumstances, but we can control our reactions to those circumstances. Our reactions can be measured by C-reactive proteins which are released by our liver in response to inflammation. Researchers have found that dwelling on a past stressful event causes these C-reactive proteins to increase in our body. If we react the wrong way, we are damaging our brain and body. Dr. Leaf emphasized about releasing our burdens, prayers, and thanksgivings to God. By doing this, we are letting Him take our burden and clean our mind, therefore cleaning our bodies.
As I skimmed through her blog, I read articles about being a social media addict, 21-day brain detox that teaches you how to control your thoughts and build healthier replacement thoughts, how to make time for God, understanding male female relationships, and how your mind can change your brain. I'm interested in reading more of her books and hopefully making a healthy mind change. Check out the link for more information: Dr Caroline Leaf
New rotation of pathology for the next four weeks. We have lectures in the morning, and then unfortunately we will be doing necropsies and exploring why these animals died in the afternoons. We have already seen several birds, dog with heartworms, alligators, cat in disseminated intravascular coagulation, pig with esophageal ulcers, puppy that died suddenly, a neurologic horse, goat with ruptured urethral, cat with renal failure, dog with Addison's, a neurologic dog, and a horse with gastric ulcers. I will not be treating live animals for an entire month so this will be interesting.
