Many of us suffer from brain fog with the volume of change, communications and high expectations we set for ourselves. This book provides exercises and tools to help you clear out the fog and start enjoying life. The author had me with the introduction by saying, “Stressed-induced brain fog is when you’re no longer able to focus and remember at your usual capacity.” The remaining chapters will not disappoint and everything is wrapped up in the end with actionable steps to overcome brain fog. A must read for anyone who is overwhelmed and wants to improve their situation.
I came across this book on NetGalley.com. It was an immediate ARC read for book bloggers and I only wish I had it in hardcopy; it is full with a lot of information, examples and exercises and would be a great reference tool (electronic flipping will just not serve me right).
A few quotes from the book that spoke to me:
“The more overstretched we become, the less mental bandwidth we have to focus and reflect.”
“If time would just stop, perhaps we could recover and develop a new strategy for going forwards. The truth is, time won’t stop…”
“…overdrive, chronic stress sets in, keeping you in a hypervigilant state, constantly at the ready for the other shoe to drop.”
“…having a lack of boundaries with your family or kids, doing too much, being too helpful and accommodating to others. Over time, other see how capable you are and come to expect you to deliver.”
“If I just think about this enough, I’ll figure it out and solve the problems. In reality, ruminating is passive and so keeps us stuck.”
I highly recommend—5 out of 5.
