15 Practices That Helped My Traumatic Brain Injury with Jim Kwik

What are some healthy habits to incorporate into your evening routine to optimize your sleep?  On average, you’ll spend roughly one-third of your life sleeping. It’s when your brain gets rid of toxic waste and plaque build-up, converts short-term to long-term memory, reorganizes and repairs nerve cells, and so much more. That’s why when it comes to optimizing your brain, one of the best things you can do is optimize your sleep. Today, I want to share the elements I’ve developed over the years that make up my nighttime routine. These are the habits I’ve built to help me wind down for a good night’s rest. This isn’t meant to be a one-size-fits-all routine. Find the elements that make sense for you and start there. Getting a good night’s sleep is vital for a healthy brain and a good memory. It ensures you can not only bounce back from a difficult day but bounce forward into the next morning. And establishing a consistent nighttime routine is key. If you’re looking for ways to help you fall asleep faster to get deeper, more restorative sleep, this episode is for you.

How does the brain change when you become a parent? Even if you don’t have children, you likely know friends and family who are parents. A new baby brings a lot of change to your routine, sleep, and lifestyle. But the brain has the amazing ability to adapt in preparation for parenthood. And whether you’re a new parent or simply want to learn what friends and family are going through, understanding the neuroscience can help everyone provide better support for new moms and dads. I’m excited to do a deep dive on this topic with our guest today. Dr. Sarah McKay is a neuroscientist, speaker, and founder of Think Brain and the Neuroscience Academy’s suite of training programs. She’s also the author of Baby Brain: The Surprising Neuroscience of How Pregnancy and Motherhood Sculpt Our Brains and Change Our Minds (For the Better). Both men and women show myriad biological changes both during pregnancy and after the baby is born. This reshaping of the parental brain reflects the amazing power of neuroplasticity and equips you with new capabilities to match the demands of parenthood. Listen in as Dr. McKay shares the fascinating research about how pregnancy and caring for a new infant physically alters the brain for both moms and dads.

Can one extra degree of effort make a difference when it comes to reaching your goals?  The first step in goal-getting is mindset. You have to assess the attitudes and assumptions you have towards everything related to your goal. Before you can make significant progress, you have to first believe it’s possible. Then you have to work for it. Today, I want to explore how to adjust your mindset by looking at the amount of effort you’re willing to put in. The difference between success and failure isn’t talent, education, or access. It’s the energy you exert every single day. Effort is about progress not perfection. It’s about being able to advance and evolve beyond what you currently believe is possible. Listen in as I talk about how giving just one degree of extra effort in your daily routine can yield incredible results. Link to Limitless Expanded Link to Show Notes Link to Kwik Brain C.O.D.E.
