Tuesday Tip
Today’s Tuesday Tip post is the continuation of my post from April 16, 2024. I’m sharing five more ways to help you deal with brain fog.
- Puzzles, reading, word searches, etc.: These activities can help your mind stay active. There are a variety of print and online/app options for this. There are so many options that there’s likely to be something you’ll enjoy.
- Organize your workspace, home, wherever!: Perhaps you’re familiar with this quote from Benjamin Franklin: “A place for everything, and everything in its place.” Well, there’s a lot of truth to that. Keeping things as organized as possible, and keeping items in the same place when possible, can eliminate the need to waste spoons looking for where you left your work projects, remote, etc. By doing this, you’ll know where to look for your regularly used objects vs. spending hours wandering around your house or office looking for them.
- Music (especially music with binaural beats):Â Music is so powerful, in many ways. Binaural beats have been shown to increase focus, help with sleep, improve memory, lower stress, and boost creativity, among other things. But even “regular” music can be beneficial.
- Do what you can to reduce stress.:Â Reducing stress can help with focus, as well as help us stay “in the moment” vs. going down the rabbit hole of “what-if” thoughts, which rarely serve any positive purpose.
- Don’t push through it.:Â Some people believe this is the way to proceed, but it’s not. In fact, it just makes things worse. Brain fog is one of the many ways your body may be telling you that you need to take a break and rest. So be sure and listen to your body.
Do you have any other tips that you find helpful when dealing with brain fog? If so, please feel free to share them.
I hope you have a blessed, low-pain day.
