Take Aways

-A default in this context is:  is a pre-selected option that you choose to do if there is not an alternative that you want more. 

-Creating defaults leads to more freedom. 

-Having defaults saves time and energy. It saves your decision making power for other decisions.

-Defaults keep hopelessness at bay. They reduce confusion, distraction, and uncertainty.

-Defaults free our mind up to consider other things.

-Choose one default in each of these areas: food, housekeeping, quiet time, exercise, sleep, friendships and/or relationships, and self care.

🚩 You are using defaults incorrectly if you feel irritated because you weren't able to do your default. You are likely treating it like a routine. 

-A default can't be interrupted because it is simply a pre-selected option. If there is an alternative that you want more, DO IT.

Redefining Dementia Person Centred Universe Just as Person Centred Universe’s educational and consultation work, the aim of the Redefining Dementia Podcast is to strive toward a better world for those affected by dementia. When consuming resources or media about dementia, the focus is often on the challenges, stigma and fear that may accompany a diagnosis of dementia. This podcast seeks to shift that narrative to focus on and celebrate living well with dementia and what that means for caregivers as well. Through the sharing of stories,resources and helpful life experiences, the podcast will look to connect with the audience to provide helpful and meaningful takeaways. Living Well Clinical Nutrition Podcast Dr. Aaron Chapa We started our practice with the intent to find the underlying cause of every diagnosable disease in the US. We found that if you love the idea of having control over your health through good choices, you will begin to love the idea of making good choices. Have you ever watched TV and heard a drug ad and said to yourself, “that drug might be good for me?” If that thought has entered your mind or been vocalized over your lips, you are experiencing some symptom pattern you were not genetically born with.
