Everything we do starts with a chemical reaction in the brain, however, when considering wellness many of us rarely think about brain health. I know I never used to. Yet things such as foggy brain, forgetfulness and overwhelm can all point to a brain that is in need of some tender care. Sleep, good nutrition, social connection, exercise, focus time, rest and play – to be healthy the brain needs balance, not excess. I find, particularly during busy periods, it is always worth reminding myself of that, making sure that there is always time for play, rest and fun with friends and family.
