Ep 23 - 5 Strategies for Managing Brain Fog

Episode Overview:

This episode is about brain fog which is also sometimes referred to as cognitive fog or mental fog. If you have ever experienced brain fog, you may have experienced difficulty concentrating, had trouble thinking clearly, or had challenges in remembering things or making decisions. 

In this episode, I discuss what brain fog is, potential causes, and steps you can take to alleviate or eliminate it so that you wake up each day feeling refreshed and with mental clarity that allows you to make decisions, get things done, and feel like you are on top of everything.

What I Cover:

• What is brain fog.
• Symptoms of brain fog.
• Potential causes of brain fog.
• 5 solutions to brain fog.

Let's Take Some Action:

• Solution #1: Sleep. Getting 7-9 hours of sleep per night will not only help you with brain fog, it will support your health in many ways so start here if at all possible.

• Solution #2: Manage your stress. I walk you through several ways of managing your stress including  using breathing, mindfulness and meditation, yoga, stretching, and physical movement.

• Solution #3: Cognitive exercise. Be intentional each day, or most days, about doing word puzzles, games, reading, or learning something new.

• Solution #4: Hydrate and eat a balanced diet. Start to make small changes that support your overall health.

• Solution #5: Make any other necessary lifestyle changes. Consider what other lifestyles changes you can make that will reduce the mental load you carry, reduce stress, or support you overall health.

Write down the one thing you came up with and commit to taking action within the next 24 hours.

Useful Resources:

Do you worry too much, overthink, assume the worst-case scenarios, spend a lot of time focusing on negative things that have happened, or discredit positive things happening? If so, you are dealing with the human brain we have all been given and you are not alone.

The good news is, you can change this and it may not take as long as you may think! If you want a free resource that will help you examine your thinking patterns, and change those that are not serving you, grab my 5 Common Thought Distortions Guide HERE.
