When the brain drills DON'T WORK...
"Brainy What-Why-How"
Your weekly nibble of brain-based tips to help you move and feel great!
🧠
What:
You've tried some of the "brain hacks" I've shared and sometimes they don't work.
Why:
There are many possible explanations, but it's usually to do with dosage* -- getting the right amount of input for your unique nervous system.
Typically, the higher the dose, the more effective the medicine.
...like, higher than you might think.
So: if a few hip circles in your Warrior 3 didn't change anything for you, it's probably because you need to do A LOT more of them, maybe with ankle weights on!
When this "greater input = greater output" DOESN'T WORK HOWEVER...
is when your nervous system is threatened.
I'm talking about:
• you're burnt out
• you haven't had a good night's sleep in ages
• you're fuelling your body with processed foods and nutrient-weak snacks
• you're spending all your time indoors staring at screens
• you're surrounded by people who make you feel like shit
How:
To make brain drills work,
you have to make your central nervous system responsive to change.
So:
🛌 take time to rest
🌳 walk in nature
🌒 prioritise sleep
🥑 eat whole foods
🤸🏽♂️ move your body
💞 spend time with people who put a genuine smile on your face.
The only "wonder-drug" is doing this list!!!! Consistently!!
