Of all the things I took away from 3 years of graduate school, I appreciate the life lessons the most. One thing that really stuck with me was this quote. "What got you hear is not going to get you to the next level". Different accomplishments require different skills. Sometimes you have to make changes to obtain those skills. So here I am looking at the new addition to my cabinet at work. I decided to go with a homeopathic remedy first. This way I don't have to deal with the doctors or insurance companies. I'm also not being monitored in any way so that is something to consider. However the Triple Complex Brain Tonic that I decided to try has no listed side effects, at least according to the internet. I know the name makes it sound corny but if it works who cares. I'm not going to say that it fixed all my issues but I will say that I have been forgetting less and that has help me at work and personal life which makes me happier in general.
This Brain Tonic is made by Native Remedies and costs about $33-$35 depending if you go through their site or a re-seller like Amazon. The site makes it sound like you are going to get pills but I ended up with the liquid form. Directions are to take .5 mL every hour if you are just having "one of those days" (does this actually happen to non-ADD people?) or .5 mL 3 times a day for chronic issues. That second one would be me. I tried morning noon and before bed but that didn't seem to do much. Now I leave it at work and take it at 8, 11, and 3. That has helped keep me on track at least during work and gets me home.
Long term I would love to find out how I could not do supplements and just change my diet but I have yet to find anyone who thinks this is possible. We shall see how everything pans out but one thing is true. I have overcome a fear and changed for the better.
