The Healthy Mind Platter

Dr. Daniel Siegel, a respected clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, asked the question, what would the equivalent of a recommended daily diet for a healthy mind look like? To answer that question he created the Healthy Mind Platter, a pictorial overview of seven daily essential mental activities you should do each and every day to optimize brain matter and create well being.

This is such a simple and great reminder of what we need to do every day to have a healthy mind. My personal experience is that when I pay attention to these seven areas, life is good. When I don’t, it isn't.

This week, a look at the healthy mind platter.

Cameras

The term camera comes from camera obscura, which is Latin for "dark chamber". This was an early mechanism for projecting images. The modern camera evolved from the camera obscura, and now is understood to be a device that records and stores images, whether they be still photographs or moving images such as videos or movies.

This week, a look at the history of the camera.
