Mental clarity and focus can be the difference between success and peace of mind and problems and chaos. In this episode, I share 3 specific tools you can use to help gain clarity.
1. Breathwork - understanding the correlation between breathing patterns and brain waves. A breathing pattern of nasal > diaphragm with a count of 4:4 can work well.
2. Managing your state – your mental and emotional state is affected by breath work and through conscious choice. Be intentional vs reactive.
3. Creating space – physical space between activities. Allowing space between meetings, sessions and tasks creates space for the brain to refresh.
I explain the difference between working memory and long-term memory and why it matters. Working memory is a much smaller processing capacity and if we are overloaded with information, mental clarity fades away. Research has shown that most people can only hold 4 chunks of data in the working memory at any one time. So, managing your cognitive load is vital.
