Can you strengthen your willpower? A study from Psychological Science




How Can You Power Up
Your Willpower?
Your willpower is just one thing that Lumosity can indirectly influence.
"Willpower" is a useful term for helping us grasp an intangible concept, but unlike physical power, willpower isn't something one can actually exercise. Or is it?
A recent study published in Psychological Science demonstrated that daily brain training can help strengthen willpower and promote healthy lifestyle choices. Using challenging working memory exercises similar to Lumosity's Memory Matrix and Monster Garden, researchers from the University of Amsterdam were able to lower the drinking rates of problem drinkers.
Participants in this study—all problem drinkers who had trouble controlling their impulses to drink alcohol—were split into a training group and a control group. The training group had 25 daily sessions of challenging working memory tasks, while the control group trained with the easiest levels of those tasks. Not only did the training group improve memory capacity and drink less than the control group, but these effects were still visible one month after the study ended.
This study provides valuable insight into how cognitive training can help people control impulses and make healthier life choices. With further research, it may even be possible to investigate whether training can help people stick to their diets or save money, for example. It's exciting to see evidence that suggests that training with exercises like those on Lumosity can help keep both your brain and body fit in the long term. Train with all 35+ games and you may be surprised by how much you improve in myriad ways!

My speech therapist recommended Lumosity, and it's been huge in my life this last year. Lumosity and a great support system have gradually increased all my brain functions. Thanks to Lumosity, my reaction time and logic reasoning results are improving. I thank Lumosity for the training to sharpen my skills.

Try this on for size


VII. Art and Ethics
Art is a form of dominion over the creation. Dominion over the creation, from the original standpoint, is intended to be carried out only by those who have reached perfection after passing through the growth process, which includes the three stages of Formation, Growth, and Completion. Perfection means the perfection of love and the perfection of personality. Therefore, one is meant, first, to become an ethical person, and upon that foundation, to have dominion over all things. This means that an artist should also be an ethical person.

Gentle Warrior Be Encouraged”



Date: 10/20/2011
““ The Words ‘Gentle and warrior’ may seem to contradict each other ‘but’ in the realm of the saints it is an affirming war cry to a victorious end to an unwarranted battl


I just felt you in the spirit this morning stronger than usual. Of course we know when you carry a friend in your spirit with Christian love and Prophetic prayer you walk around with them; they become an extension of you. They are in possession of an inaudible prayer which is placed upon their head at all times. BUT this morning I have the unction to reach out to you and tell you that you are an exceptional person. Whatever positions you own “you are” an exceptional woman/man of God. Whether you are a wife/ husband, mother/ father, sister/brother you are exceptional and indeed you have been an exceptional friend. I want you to know that your kindness, mannerisms and ethics are not taken for granted by God or by mankind. Please know that I speak not only from my heart but from my spirit and not only for me but from others that have the same sentiments toward you but take it for granted that their admiration and love for you needs no verbal accolades.

My prayer today is that you continue to fight on “gentle warrior”. I know the words gentle and warrior may seem to contradict each other ‘but’ in the realm of the saints it is an affirming war cry to a victorious end to an unwarranted battle. Know God is STILL right beside you and since His word says he will never leave you He has not. You are STILL a noble testimony by being STILL on this earth STILL with a sound mind. And though your physical health is not all to be desired “at this time” it is STILL far better than countless others; and praises to God your faith… Your Faith …YOUR FAITH in God is STILL unequaled in its strength and FAR EXCEEDS your offsets. Be encouraged daughter/ son of the Most High King, keep believing!
(Hebrews 13:5; Isaiah 40:31)

God bless you
Agape Love,
Prophetess Sandra Dukes- Your sister and your friend in Christ Jesus

Too often we set our sights too low. What are their goals, where are they coming from and certainly where are they going is the question.
At the bus stop, at the night spot at the cyber spot..You need to look them in the eye and get a good reading on their motives and intent before looking up. Don’t put all your life out there. Identity theoft os real, heartbreak is real. Look before you leap they told me. I know what time it is http://www.mobitracking.com/click.track?CID=137364&AFID=117198&ADID=380758&SID=
