But have you ever wondered how reading habits differ across age groups? Are younger generations reading as much as older generations?

How do you rewire your brain out of survival mode?

Through breathing, mindfulness, and meditation, synapses in the survivors' brain actually rewire, which allows them to regain control over their reactions. These tools empower survivors to choose a specific action rather than controlled by an impulsive reaction.

It pierces the humid summer air and suddenly my surroundings melt away.

Just a moment before, my hair flowed behind me in the cool wind. My fingers wrapped around the handlebars, one foot planted on the deck, the other launching me forward along the pavement. I trailed a few feet behind my older brother as he expertly crossed from one half of the driveway to the other on his blue scooter. I wanted to keep up and pulled my right handlebar back slightly. In an instant, my front wheel caught in the concrete crack. The back wheel swung out as both the scooter and I toppled over. Involuntarily, my hands released the handlebars and flew out in front of me, catching the full weight of my body as I let out a scream. My wrist was fractured, but thankfully everything else – my head and torso – was unscathed.
