I have created a new mental wellbeing / mindfulness framework that enables people to improve their clarity of thought and peace of mind. It introduces a new mental wellbeing practice - Contemplation - systematic self reflection and deep thinking. It also provides certain key principles that enable you to think more clearly in a manner that makes you feel more fulfilled, purposeful and peaceful. A systematic decision making journal helps you find answers to important personal or professional questions you might have in your life today - Should I be in a relationship with this person, Should I take up this job, Should we invest in this company, Should we expand into this product or market, Should my kids go to this school, Should I rent this apartment, etc. You start with writing your question or situation you need to resolve in your journal, and use Contemplation on these key principles as well as the trigger questions in the journal to find the answer that is right for you in that situation, the solution that improves your peace of mind not reduce it. This mindfulness framework is called ADIOS - A Dialogue In Objective Silence - because it is a dialogue that you have with yourself, without a bias, in silence, alone. The framework is detailed in my book https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJMTR8Z6. You can know more about the Adios approach by listening to this interview of mine: https://rss.com/podcasts/joshua-t-berglan/819296/ The Adios framework is endorsed by senior mental health doctors in the US. Here is a discussion with Dr Antonio Ocana on how Contemplation on the Adios principles impacts your brain: https://youtu.be/Iu9qWYwxvSw

Brian Kersten Minnesota, originally from Appleton, Wisconsin, has made significant contributions as a veterinarian throughout his illustrious career. Raised on a family farm, his early interactions with animals sparked a profound interest in veterinary science, propelling him towards a dedicated path in this field. After receiving his Bachelor of Science in Animal Science from the University of Minnesota and graduating with high distinction in 1977, he embarked on a lifelong journey to improve the lives of animals. In 2021, he took a pivotal step by establishing Mercy Veterinary Service in Baldwin, Wisconsin. This clinic, founded to provide low-cost veterinary services, is a testament to his dedication to ensuring that every pet receives proper care, irrespective of their owner's financial situation. Here, he focuses on small animal medicine, surgery, and veterinary dentistry, upholding a reputation for excellence and compassion. He also lends his expertise as a relief veterinarian in Amery, Wisconsin, where he supports various veterinary practices and enhances the overall welfare of animals in the region. His journey to becoming a veterinarian was marked by a significant academic milestone when he earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1983. Initially, he worked in mixed animal practice, gaining extensive experience and insights into the field. In 1985, his career took a humanitarian turn as he dedicated 2.5 years to aiding the rural communities of Haiti, further showcasing his commitment to human and animal care. Upon returning to the United States in 1987, he resumed his practice in Baldwin, Wisconsin. In 2001, he purchased this practice, expanding his influence and capability to serve the community. He also served as President of the Pierce St. Croix Humane Society from 2001 to 2003 before selling his practice in 2016. However, his commitment to veterinary medicine remained strong, leading to the foundation of his low-cost clinic in 2021. His philanthropic efforts extend well beyond his professional duties. He is actively involved with Today's Harvest Food Shelf, where he volunteers to aid those facing food insecurity. His support for the Mercy Corps humanitarian organization underscores his commitment to addressing global challenges. Additionally, his voluntary service at Barefoot Crow Animal Rescue highlights his enduring passion for animal welfare, where he provides essential care to rescued animals. He enjoys a fulfilling life outside his professional and volunteer activities. He is married with four grown children and has various hobbies, such as playing the guitar, gardening, reading, and exercising. These activities provide personal satisfaction and reflect his lifelong pursuit of learning and self-improvement. As Brian Kersten Minnesota celebrates the 40th anniversary of his graduation from veterinary school in 2023, his journey from a Wisconsin farm to becoming a revered veterinarian and dedicated humanitarian continues.
