Manage episode 374921745 series 3480790
Your brain is the most important tool you have. Are you taking care of it?
Chronic stress affects your cognition, which is basically how you think, perceive, remember, and decide.
I know that you are awesome at getting things done and tend to keep a high pace in your life.
And I’m pretty sure that you have also had those days when you just can’t remember where you put your keys, or when that important meeting is, even though you’ve checked your calendar like three times?
Maybe you've even walked into a room and forgotten why you are there or keep on jumping from one task to another, not being able to focus for more than a few seconds.
That's not just being 'busy'. That might be chronic stress talking.
This is the second part in the series of How to Know When to Pull the Brake, listing the cognitive symptoms of chronic stress.
Last week, I spoke about the physical and emotional symptoms, which are your body’s signals to slow down. Now, let’s zoom in on the signals from your brain.
