how to rewire your brain

If you want to change your life, start by changing your brain

Rewire Your Brain is a great book to read if you're interested in learning the basics of rewiring your conscious and subconscious mind so that you can change your life

Here are 3 tips to help you rewire your brain

1. Mind what you consume

> Fueling your brain comes in two forms: the first is in the form of food and the second is in the form of information

> Being mindful of what you consume, both food and information, is detrimental to the rewiring of your brain

> Avoid harmful foods and drinks, like sugar and alcohol, which have proven to have devastating impacts on the human brain. Instead, eat foods rich in omega-3s, B12, and magnesium for optimal brain health

> It is also important to be mindful of what information you consume. Limit mindless scrolling on social media and instead, read books, watch a documentary, or learn something new on YouTube

2. Manage your stress

> Plenty of research shows the harmful effects of stress on your brain (which is triggered in the region of your brain called the amygdala)

> In order to limit the effects of stress, start implementing different techniques and methods daily to help you de-stress

> Activities like walking in nature, aerobics, and meditation are all great stress reducers

3. The importance of exercise and sleep

> Lack of sleep and exercise can actually increase our stress in different situations

> To combat this, it's important that you prioritize sleep and bodily movement

> Sleep and exercise can not only help minimize the effects of stress but they can also aid in the regenerative process of your brain, helping you become a better learner
