Reticular Activating System

Did you know that you have a built-in screening device that either admits or blocks information?

The human nervous system contains a marvelous network of cells called the Reticular Activating System, its function is to screen out unimportant information that comes to you through your senses.

A mother with a new baby in the next room will sleep through jet planes screaming overhead, but she’ll wake in an instant if that baby starts to cry. The airplane is louder, but not important, so it doesn’t get through because her reticular activating system keeps it out. Only information that is important – valuable or threatening – gets through.

Now when you set a goal, you declare a new significance – you make something important. And suddenly, information that never got through before is all around you. Did you ever decide to buy something – maybe a new HD television – and the next day all you see are advertisements for HD TV’s? They were there all along, but now they’re important to you, so you notice them. One of my daughters told me that she never realized how many pregnant women there were until she became pregnant, and suddenly they were everywhere.

So when you set a goal and declare its importance, you’ll find yourself noticing opportunities to help you achieve it that you never knew were there before. Try it. I think you’ll be surprised at how efficiently your reticular activating system works.

Think about what you miss, are you screening out something important?

The family palmer Verve experience

This year I decided it was time for the family palmer to start taking more vitamins. It’s hard to constantly focus every day as a single parent to plan meals to get the balance right.

I joined the Vemma programme initially to learn about the business opportunity, however this soon changed. The first product we tried was Verve, it has a healthy balance of vitamins and minerals with the added natural constituents of Vemma. The difference though is the energy formula as a carbonated drink in a can.

Our verve experience has been very excellent right from day one. My eldest son is 14 years old. He likes staying up late watching films and playing games. In the morning it takes some time to gain enthusiasm.

However on his first day at school with Verve his teacher noticed a difference during the first class of the day. He was much more alert and responding to classroom tasks quicker than his teacher could keep up.

The contrast was so much that his teacher noticed the difference and asked why. Physiologically the results do make sense. I’m a biologist by trade and know the brain needs glucose to function efficiently so I believe the positive effects of Verve with it’s antioxidant properties, balanced nutrition and high energy formula are responsible for the positive results.

School is out for summer now so I will continue the “experiment” in September. I have seen the difference in my 12 year old as well though, both had higher energy levels and improved performance.

It’s like giving my family palmer a jump start in the morning, so we get more out of the whole day.
