Vermost Insurance Agency - July 2021

depending on the plan and the family. And if you’re a college student over the age of 26, it won’t be an option no matter what else is going on. This lack of dental coverage may come as a surprise to many who remember a dental plan from their own college days. But the fact is that many schools — especially state schools in less wealthy states — simply don’t offer an option for dental insurance. A freedom-of-choice plan from Vermost Insurance Agency allows you to see any dentist you wish and may be a great option if there’s no rush in the next year to receive benefits. If that doesn’t work, we’re here to help you find one that does; all you have to do is call (727) 748-2886 to get that strategy session started.

Get Your Train of Thought Back on Track

Recovery Hacks

Have you ever been in the middle of a conversation, presentation, or debate, stringing together thoughts in a way you hope is coherent and insightful when — poof! — you lose your train of thought? It’s frustrating. You just want to make yourself understood, but your brain has other plans. What if there were a way to keep your train of thought on track? Well, the good news is that recovering your train of thought is easy with the following hacks in mind. Repeat, repeat, repeat yourself. Paraphrasing your last few thoughts out loud can help you remember where you were going. Think of it as retracing your steps: You go back to the last words you remember saying, and more often than not, you’ll find your direction again. Take a short pause. Pausing briefly is a great way to make recovering your train of thought seem natural. This hack works really well if you’re answering a question and you need time to think, and you also don’t want to be bogged down by a chorus of “ums” escaping from your mouth. Write it all down. This hack works well when you know beforehand that you’ll be speaking with someone or in front of people. Even if you never refer to your notes while speaking, simply writing down a road map for your train of thought can help you recover from a detour and speak more confidently. Remember your overall point. The easiest way to drive your train of thought into the weeds is to forget your overall point — or not to have an overriding point at all. Always have a short, overarching point you can use to recenter yourself and get back on track. With these hacks, your brain will have to work a lot harder to make you lose your train of thought! Now you’ll be more prepared to tackle any subject matter, no matter how deep or technical, that comes your way.
