Here are 5 tips on how to stop overthinking. For 5 more tips of this type, click the link: http://vkool.com/how-to-stop-overthinking/
1. Put Things Into A Big Picture
Putting your issue into a large picture will help you think less about it or think more positively about it. You should ask questions like: “Can this matter last for years?”, or: “Is there anyone living without a single issue?” It has been proven that by asking yourself these questions, you can stop overthinking easier.
2. Take Action
You should set deadlines for every task you do so that you will not have much time to overthink about anything. You had better take one step at a time until you complete the work. This will help prevent you from feeling overwhelmed. Taking one step at a time will make you busy with your tasks, thereby stop overthinking.
3. Admit That You Could Not Control Everything
Only saints could control everything. You are human being, so you cannot control everything in life. Sometimes you will have to accept things to go their own ways.
Even famous people or the ones that you admire cannot keep everything under their control. Failure is not something terrible. Failure is actually a good lesson that you can learn from. Failure is the mother of success. Therefore, you ought to stop thinking that you can control everything in life.
4. Make Friends With People Who Do Not Overthink
Social environment can affect the way you think. When you communicate with people who can easily forget things that make them sad, you can learn from them to do so. On the contrary, when you communicate with people who are oversensitive, or overthink about things, you can be impacted. The people around you can apparently affect the way you think. Therefore, you should choose who to make friends with, and who to be around when you are in trouble.
5. Workout
Workout can help in removing your negative thoughts, releasing tensions, and getting rid of anxiety. Swimming, walking, and riding bicycle are the best exercises that you should do to avoid overthinking. When you do workouts, you tend to focus on the movement of your body, thereby you will not think much about other things.
In conclusion, you should remember that you are not a saint, so there may be a lot of things that you cannot do. Do not put too much pressure on yourself, and make your brain work too hard without finding any solution after all. Those 5 tips on how to stop overthinking are very helpful, so you should try them if you are suffering from this issue.
When using the correct methods of Mindfulness, you find that the experience is profound and it changes your complete view of things.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

4. A little about me…
Student and practitioner of mindfulness
(off and on ☺) since 1976
Former “corporate soldier”
Master’s Degree in Community Health
Education
A mother of 2 girls
A caregiver to a special-needs child
A perfectly flawed human being
5. A little about us all….
At our core…we all seek the same
things:
To understand ourselves/the world
To do meaningful work
To have relief from suffering
To love and to be loved
6. The case for a mindful workplace
Mindful people are usually pleasant
Mindful people experience less stress
Mindful people are less prone to injury
Emotional states are contagious (Fowler &
Christakis, 2008 )
7. The case for a mindful workplace
Mindfulness education is a SOLUTION:
To help reduce worksite stress
To help keep “healthy employees healthy”
To help employees with chronic health conditions cope
To maximize individual and organization potential!
8. “How you see yourself,
who you think you are, how you
see others,
what you think the meaning of life
is,
how you see death, belief, God,
darkness and beauty is all
determined
by the style of mind you have”.
John O’Donohue, Poet, Priest,
Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
9. Our “style of mind”
“MINDLESS” MIND
Lacking full awareness of our behavior(s)
Lacking creativity & spirit
Lacking love & compassion
Makes us prone to physical, emotional, social, mental
or spiritual injury
Without exception….we have all been “there”
10. Our “style of mind”
“MINDFULL” MIND
Fully aware
Responding vs. reacting
Open to creative and loving
solutions
Supportive of the entire individual
(physically, emotionally, mentally
and spiritually)
11. Mindfulness Defined
a dispositional characteristic
(a personal attribute/trait)
An outcome (a state of awareness
resulting from mindfulness training)
A practice (mindfulness meditation
practice itself)
Black,D.S. (2011).A brief definition of mindfulness. (Accessed from
http://www.mindfulexperience.org)
12. Mindfulness Defined
Utilizing all our senses simultaneously
Operating from our heart/soul/spirit/Higher
Self
“Heartfulness” (Fr. Keating)
13. Mindfulness Defined
Paying attention without judgment (Kabat-Zinn)
“Non-conceptual knowing” (Kabat-Zinn)
Self-regulation of attention
Other words that have been used to describe the
experience/process of mindfulness:
“Present” (Tolle)
“Aware” (Lisi)
“Conscious” (Dyer)
“Awake”(Williamson)
14. Criticisms and common complaints
about mindfulness
“It takes too long- I don’t have time be mindful!”
“It’s too spiritual”
“It’s not very “professional” or “scientific”
“It goes against my religion”
“It will “numb me out”
“I will have less fun in life”
“It will disconnect me from “real” life
“I will be more mindful when “things” calm down in my life” ☺
15. In reality….
The practice of mindfulness can help to create a
more engaged and productive work team.
Mindfulness could be a simple and inexpensive
addition (or foundation) to your worksite wellness
program.
Consistent mindful awareness leads to “clarity”:
a self-understanding that no longer produces
judgment of self or others (Brunson, Wading the
Stream of Awareness, P. 261)
15
16. We are all “wired” for mindfulness
We are more AWARE than we “think” we really are.
Although commonly ignored, our hearts and every
single cell in our body has “feeling” and “sensing”
abilities (we are feeling organisms!).
Mindfulness and heartfulness are under-utilized
human capacities.
16
17. Research note:
“Mindfulness may be important in disengaging
individuals from automatic thoughts, habits, and
unhealthy behavior patterns and thus could play
a key role in fostering informed and self-
endorsed behavioral regulation, which has long
been associated with well-being enhancement”
(Ryan & Deci, 2000)
17
20. “The 21st Century belongs to
The
the Aware, Focused, & Loving
Leader”
Jeff Brunson, Leadership Coach
Wading the Stream of Awareness
21. Typical workplace “awareness”
Focused on the actions/behaviors of others
Focused on protecting our ego/position
Focused on “fairness” and favoritism
The Mindful Workplace
Mindful of our own actions and behaviors
Mindful of our own thoughts and ideas
Mindful of our own emotions
22. “Emotions are a more evolved
way of thinking”
Marvin Minsky, Artificial Intelligence Pioneer
TED Presentation: Health and the Human Mind
23. Using emotions to understand
employee needs and states of “being”
When people “behave badly”…..or “agreeably” it is merely a
physical manifestation of an emotional state.
When people do things that “feel good” to them, they are
happy, more creative, healthier and more productive.
When people do things that “don’t feel good” to them, this
feeling is stressful to the body. (“Stress is a risk factor for
many conditions—long-term stress impacts our bodies” Jon
Kabat-Zinn)
23
26. Promoting a culture of mindfulness
and wellness
Always begins by example and with leadership/
management support.
It will still be “work”, but a more compassionate
workplace.
Compassion? – What does that have to do with
work?– It is a pathway to our shared humanity.
A gentle call to all leaders and managers: Working to
create a supportive and compassionate workplace can
help reduce employee stress and chronic illness.
27. “To effectively reenergize their workforces,
organizations need to shift their emphasis from
getting more out of people to investing more in
them, so they are motivated—and able—to bring
more of themselves to work every day. To
recharge themselves, individuals need to
recognize the costs of energy-depleting
behaviors and then take responsibility for
changing them, regardless of the
circumstances they’re facing.”
Tony Schwartz, Human Performance Expert
The Energy Project 27
28. Mindfulness strategies for your
workplace
Encourage employees and co-workers to reflect
on how they “feel”
IMPORTANT NOTE: We are ALL (EACH)
responsible for our feelings ☺. It is not your job
to “fix”, counsel or in any way “change” how
someone feels. You may feel “resistance”– that is
“ok” ☺….feel that resistance for yourself– allow
yourself to be “ok” with that tension.
29. Mindfulness strategies for your
workplace
Team deep breathing (let’s try it now!) ☺
Doing “nothing together” for 2-3 minutes and
allowing everyone an opportunity to express
what they most noticed or appreciated.
30. Mindfulness strategies for your
workplace
Gratitude practices – (what we appreciate
grows- what do you want to grow?)
Consistently express your gratitude for
employees
Invite employees to share a weekly or monthly
gratitude list during staff meeting.
31. Mindfulness strategies for your
workplace
Mindful food/eating practices
For your next staff meeting, bring/order food items
that are healthy and nutritious
Initiate or volunteer at a local community garden
32. Mindfulness strategies for your
workplace
Mindful movement/exercise
Invite employees/co-workers to take a walk
during lunch
Remind employees to stretch their muscles and
breathe deeply throughout the day
34. Mindfulness strategies for your
workplace (policy level)
Unlimited vacation policy
Work “on anything” for a month
Incentivize worksite mindfulness practices and
initiatives along with other health promotion
incentives like smoking cessation, weight loss
and increased physical activity.
35. In Closing….
If improving employee health is a priority:
Mindfulness practices will bring “coherence” to
your worksite.
Mindfulness will help reduce stress in your
worksite.
Mindfulness will open up new pathways for
creativity and production.
