Re-setting your brain
Do you feel like your brain has too many tabs open and that you are slow to toggle between those tabs?
If you could watch your brain for 5 minutes you will be awestruck at all the things your brain is trying to make sense of, to process and to analyse, to remove or to commit to memory, whilst coping with all the daily demands in life. When your brain becomes overwhelmed by constant stress, fatigue sets in and you fall out of healthy patterns.
Make December 2020 a time to power down, re-set your brain and regain mental resiliency and strength.
Easy tips from Neurocognitive science for re-setting our brains include: The right amount of sleep; long walks alone, with friends or pets; reading; listening to music; playing fun board games; puzzles and creative tasks. Eliminate computers, emails, and screen time. And of course, lots of laughter! Our brains need as little as 7 - 10 days of this easy treatment to re-set and heal. Make it count!
We wish you and your family a blessed festive season.
Dr Marina van der Ryst & team.
