What (the TL:DR)
You've tried some of the "brain hacks" I've shared and sometimes they don't work.
Why (the geeky neurology)
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 (apply it to your life)
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!!
