 Change is occurring, and we are guaranteed one thing in life — change will happen, no matter what age we are or what we are doing. What matters is how we think about change and how we manage it. Change is a condition — events that happen outside of us and over which we have little to no control. "Oh, no," you might say. "I'm in control of what I do and how I do it." To which I respond, "You are right." But think about it.

As spa owners or managers, we need to make retail a focus instead of an afterthought, and our approach to retail and service should be both fast and slow. Sounds confusing? Let's explain.

From the bold honors student to the timid learner in the back row, reflection can help students become more aware of themselves as learners. But because we often rely on writing as the primary mode of metacognitive reflection, some students, especially those who struggle with college-level writing, may not experience the full cognitive benefits of reflection.

We need all of our emotions for thinking, problem solving and focused attention. We are neurobiologically wired, and to learn anything, our minds must be focused and our emotions need to "feel" in balance. Emotional regulation is necessary so that we can remember, retrieve, transfer and connect all new information to what we already know. When a continuous stream of negative emotions hijacks our frontal lobes, our brain's architecture changes, leaving us in a heightened stress-response state where fear, anger, anxiety, frustration and sadness take over our thinking, logical brains.
