“YOU are never too old to change, or to learn new tricks!”
That is the message from Helen Dugdale from Australian Brain Coaching.
“A few years ago, people used to think that they were ‘set in their ways’, and that as you got older, you were even more set,” she said.
“Well, research has shown that we can change, we can learn new skills, you can teach an old dog new tricks.”
According to Helen, the science of neuroplasticity means that it is possible to re-wire your brain.
For example, Helen, through her brain coaching technique, says she was able to help a 92-year-old man reduce his anxiety so that he now sleeps through the night.
“This also meant that his other health problems improved as well.”
Helen says retired people are learning new skills, thanks to changing their thinking habits due to brain coaching.
“I can help you overcome the feelings and emotions that are holding you back from enjoying your life to your fullest potential.
“Whether it is about getting more sleep, setting goals and following through, or other issues like phobias, or anxiety – you can change.
“All it takes is some re-direction and then practice, practice, practice, until it becomes your new normal!”
Helen has published a book about overcoming insomnia, and produced a journal for setting goals.
She is also halfway through writing her next book about overcoming anxiety.
Helen is speaking at the Tomaree Library on Tuesday, 11 November for the University of the Third Age.

“You will be pleasantly surprised at how possible it is to make changes to your life,” she said.
