These Brain Exercises That Will Improve Your Focus

What if I told you that we spend most of our day on auto-pilot? Our brains are using half their potential and generally just respond to crisis after crisis. As a result we are not actively protecting and regulating our brain's energy to be happier and more productive. That is the thesis behind the work of guest Deb Smolensky who is a "brain trainer" and author of the book Brain On! Mental Fitness Strategies for Sharpening Focus, Boosting Emerging, and Winning the Workday. Deb combines science and anecdotal evidence from her coaching business to help people upgrade their brain power.  We discuss various techniques for getting out of the caveman-ish fight-or-flight mode and allowing your "thinking brain" to rule the day.  Watch the interview on YouTube @writeaboutnowpodcast111 Subscribe to my Substack @Small Talk
