Brain & Mind Dangers & Boosters

4/4/2017

 
When it comes to your brain and mind, the smallest things can make the biggest difference.  I realized recently I was drinking too much caffeine, sometimes 3-4 cups a day of coffee.  I love coffee!  Some coffee is good for you because it helps you focus and it has antioxidants.  Too much though, and you can block a hormone called GABA, which can make you feel anxious.  So I decided to take 2 weeks off.  

Take a look at these lists and see what you might want to work on.  Once you get in the habit of doing this stuff, it becomes second nature.
