Brain Fog Can Cripple Your Business

When your brain is foggy, you cannot think clearly, you make poor decisions, your memory suffers and things slip through the cracks that can damage your career and ability to make money.

Common Causes of Brain Fog:

• Multi-Tasking: Constantly shifting from one task to another taxes the brain. Multi-tasking demands an enormous amount of glucose (brain fuel). When that fuel is depleted the brain slows down – you feel tired and foggy.
• Stress: When you are under stress, this too depletes the stores of glucose found throughout the body.
• Eating Junk: Eating too much junk food, processed food, trans fats, dairy products and foods containing vegetable oils damages your mitochondria, which must convert that food into glucose and then into ATP (fuel for the body).
• Alcohol Overload: Drinking too much alcohol damages dendrites. Dendrites are the part of every brain cell that receives signals from other brain cells. When you drink too much alcohol, it prevents your brain cells from communicating with each other.
• Sleep Deprivation: Lack of adequate sleep leads to poor decision-making, emotional outbursts, increased stress and changes your personality.

The self-made millionaires in my Rich Habits study developed habits that not only helped clear away the brain fog, but improved their cognitive abilities:

• Focus: Self-made millionaires focus on one task at a time. They did not multi-task.
• Eat Healthy: Self-made millionaires eat right. Two out of three meals are vegetables, fruits (not too sweet) and healthy fats, high in HDL (good cholesterol).
• De-Stress: Self-made millionaires de-stress by meditating, running, taking a nap, closing their eyes for a few minutes or any number of things that put them into a relaxed state. Consider a walk or jog by a lake or by the beach, or walking along a trail or the ocean.
• Get Adequate Sleep: Self-made millionaires get 6-8 hours of sleep every night.
• Have a Glass of Wine or Beer.
• Take Supplements That reduce Inflammation: Tumeric, a baby aspirin, ginger, Omega 3, EPA/DHA (here’s a good article to read on reducing brain fog through natural supplements).

Brain Fog creeps up on you over time. Symptoms are forgetfulness, indecision, poor decisions, anger, anxiety and weight gain. If you want to succeed you need to take care of your brain. Brain Fog will derail you from success and could cripple your business or your career.
