Shilpi guidance about future – what she wants to do ?

Reasons for Shilpi’s poor performance in school years
The reason Shilpi performed poorly in school was because of her medical condition, her medical numbers were not correct – Thyroid levels, Iron level, and Vitamin D level were all in the abnormal range and that interfered with her focusing and excelling
What is different about Shilpi’s medical numbers now ?
Shilpi’s medical numbers are now in the normal range and further improving from there. Her Thyroid levels are normal, her Vitamin D is now normal after the very high dosage she was put on (50,000 once a week for about 8 weeks), and her Iron levels are improving. She is also taking several herbs that Sangeeta has found useful – all of these now give her the inner capability to work hard, she will now be able to achieve results, and start to excel.
What will mental math etc do for Shilpi
Mental math, mental vocabulary, etc will build her brain muscle, make her stronger – be able to focus, concentrate, visualize. It will build her mental strength and the basic raw material of her mind that she will be able to apply on to any area of subject matter
What is one word or sentence that summarizes all that she has to do or concentrate on
Shilpi has to make herself “SMARTER”. She is smarter than before but we are talking about a level of smartness that she has not experienced, is not aware of – it is essentially being SMARTER to the point where she starts to see results in her endevors
How does Shilpi make herself SMARTER ?
By improving her brain power, cognitive abilities, comprehension, IQ
How does Shilpi increase her brain power?
By frequently and constantly giving her brain a workout, by exercising the brain
How does Shilpi give her brain a workout >
You can give your brain a workout by increasing your working vocabulary which can be done by doing the various vocabulary cards on Quizlet using its spoken feature. Plus you have to do mental math and mental tables and start doing complex math instantaneously, this can be done by doing the mental math exercises in Lumosity or your iphone apps. Plus she has to enrich her mind by listening to various podcasts on Stitcher
What can Shilpi do about her anxiety in pre or current stressful situations like during tests, exams etc
She needs to take her anxiety pill under doctors guidance. Plus most importantly she needs to get medically approved for being given college tests, SAT, MCAT etc under special no time limit environments – it is possible to get medically qualified for this.
Why does Shilpi needs to be working harder than “normal” and also harder than everyone else in the family
Shilpi needs to be working harder than “normal” to make up for the temporary situation of Stress, Anxiety, lower pace of learning that she is suffering from. Once you accept that these things are there, how do you deal with them – not by fighting against them, but by putting in even additional work, addtional hours – not only “normal” but more than “normal” to make up for them.
A clear indication that Shilpi is starting to put in the required amount of work, hours, is if SHE becomes the person in the family who is working the hardest, who is working the longest, who is putting-in the largest number of hours – she becomes the person who is getting to bed late and getting up early, etc.
How working harder than everyone else may actually be the cure for Shilpi
As explained previously, Shilpi has to work harder and longer hours than “normal” to make up for her temporary medical factors. No body likes to work longer, so her brain will automatically start curing itself of the Stress, Anxiety etc so that she can accomplish more in the same amount of time as others without having to put in extra work.
The body has magical powers of curing itself – we have to give it the right conditions, and the chance to do so
What is one important and likely derivative from grades about you?
When you get poor grades it is generally not because you performed poorly in the fnal test once, but rather In one sense your grades are a reflection of the sum total of choices you made on a daily basis over an extended length of time, such as the semester.
Similarly, if you have been caught with DWI it is not that you just had too much to drink that day, but more likely it is a reflection of poor choices that you have been making over an extended period of time.
Why doing Lumnosity is very important for Shilpi from a Thyroid standpoint
Because Shilpi has Thyroid problems and and they swing a lot, doing Lumnosity can serve as an “Early Warning System” for her thyroid functioning. If the Lumnosity scores start to go down much that can be a sign of thryoid not working fine.
