Anna Maria Island Florida :: (Florida beaches USA)

"Here are 6 ways to regulate yourself using neuropsychology:

If you are stressed, use the physiological sigh. Huberman lab talks about it, but it’s essentially two inhales and one long exhale, and you do that over and over again.

If you are anxious, go for a walk. It deactivates your amygdala.

If you are sad, acknowledge your feelings and then move your body. it release endorphins.

If you are impulsive, like angry. You can’t think straight. Look out the window and don’t look at anything. Just like dilate your gaze. It blunts your neuroadrenaline so you can think clearly.

If you have low motivation, this is interesting ~ focus on one spot on your screen for one minute. Ignore everything else. Pupilary convergence increases focus.

And finally, if you’re feeling insecure, low self-worth, write down your strengths. Logical thinking overrides your limbic system."

Just a little over 3 weeks until I get a long weekend by the sea and sand.

Not a moment too soon, either. I’ve desperately needed a vacation.

Weather gone wild

For decades, Janet and I and our family have been vacationing in Anna Maria Island. My dear departed brother Rick, who lived in Tampa, discovered it in the '70s and after heeding his advice and giving it a try, we were hooked. We came back many times.

AMI is a respite from the usual tourist mecca. No chain restaurants, no high-rise buildings, it is like the "old" Florida.

Well, it WAS.

Just two weeks ago, AMI was pummeled by Hurricane Helene, the worst storm to hit the island in many decades. It reshaped the beach, piled sand three feet high along the coastal highway, flooded homes, knocked down walls, filled pools with sand, destroyed the beloved Rod & Reel pier, and caused incredible havoc.

The damage was done throughout the region, including Bradenton Beach, Sarasota and Cortez.

And shockingly, Helene continued north and was even more damaging to Western North Carolina with floods and mudslides that wiped out roads and towns.

Janet and I have been to Asheville and the Pisgah National Forest a number of times, and as recently as May 2024 stayed in downtown Asheville for an unofficial reunion with a group of my Duke U friends.

The destruction of that area is heartbreaking.

And now, Anna Maria Island and Florida's West Coast are directly in the crosshairs of Hurricane Milton, one of the fiercest and most dangerous hurricanes on record.

I think this is a clear indication that climate change is real, but let's not get into that now.

My heart aches for ALL of the people who live in the Tampa area and along the Gulf Coast, from Naples to Cedar Key. One major hurricane is more than enough; it's almost unbelievable that a second one is about to hit.

I lived in Tampa for 11 years before moving to Toledo (we went the opposite direction of most folks). We have many relatives and friends living in what is now a hurricane watch zone as Milton approaches. In addition, many friends from Ohio have retired and moved to the area seeking sunshine and fun-filled days.

I can only hope and pray that my friends and family stay safe and their homes are protected. And that goes for everyone in Milton's path -- although there is little doubt there will be deaths and destruction "somewhere" in the region.

We have been keeping in touch with family. Many have evacuated and headed north, but there are a good number who are staying in their boarded-up and sandbagged homes with stockpiles of supplies.

As the old saying goes, we need to pray for the best but prepare for the worst.
