Daily habits that support good brain health

“Braincare is the things I do to take care of my mental and emotional health. I’ve just recovered from a severe and long-term case of burnout, so I’ve seen first hand the impact that poor braincare can have on your body and subsequently your life. Now I’m trying to create daily habits that support good brain health such as sleep, diet, exercise, therapy, journaling, breathwork, learning etc.”

The future

“Braincare is the future, in terms of mental health, and health as a whole. As a healthcare professional, this is something that I’m very passionate about. Just as how we have diets and exercise regimens for our physical fitness, we should inspire a culture of braincare for our mental fitness with to build mental resilience and better brain health.”

It makes perfect sense that we need to feed our brains

“I’m a lawyer currently recovering from burnout, with the help of my GP and therapist. I am incredibly passionate about wellness (in its most universal sense) and I’m on a bit of a mission to help others in my profession take better care of themselves. My previous conception of braincare was limited to things we are told help to stave off dementia—new languages, sudoku etc. Of course makes perfect sense that we need to feed our brain as part of our body. Why is this not more widely spoken about?!”

One of the most important forms of self-care

“Braincare is one of the most important forms of self-care and looking after myself. As someone who really struggled with feeling tense and worried, I'm very aware of how looking after my brain impacts how I feel, what I think, and how I show up in the world. Looking after my brain is a non-negotiable, which includes daily exercise, mental stimulation, and meditation, as well as the food I eat. Being able to provide my brain with all the nutrients it needs is so important.”
