My favorite bumper sticker:

Don't Believe Everything You Think

We all know these "tips" below, but how many of us still fall into the trap of negative thoughts, which inevitably become negative feelings, mood and behavior?! If we don't "believe everything we think", and reframe our negative thoughts, we may be able to prevent some negative moods, feelings...and even how we react to them!

Has anyone heard of important tips that would aid in determining if you, or a loved one, is experiencing a stroke?

We’ve probably all seen e-mails circulating over the past few years about the signs of a stroke. After another e-mail last night, decided to go straight to the American Stroke Association for the real answer. So, here are five ways to determine if someone you know just had a stroke:

Walk – Is his or her balance off?
Talk – Is his/her face slurred or face droopy?
Reach – Is one side weak or numb?
See -- Is the person’s vision all or partially lost?
