FLEXIBILITY

FLEXIBILITY ⠀
Do you immediately think of physical flexibility?⠀
.⠀
What about cognitive flexibility? ⠀
.⠀
It is one of the 5 brain health principles I teach my clients. ⠀
.⠀
Cognitive Flexibility allows us to use our brains to maximum potential. Switching from one area of the brain to the next depending on what we are doing at that moment. ⠀
.⠀
Imagine being able to smoothly switch from one Brain state to the next when you are working on a project?⠀

You would increase your productivity and outcomes. ⠀
.⠀
The brain state flow would be something like this: ⠀
.⠀
Creativity...Problem solving...Emotional regulation...Organization...Planning...⠀
Gratitude ⠀
.⠀
A way to smoothly move from one brain state to a different brain state is to have a moment of transition. ⠀
.⠀
Before moving on to the next part of a project take a moment to reset. ⠀
.⠀
Breathe for 10 counts⠀
Think about your intention and purpose for the next step. ⠀
.⠀
In other words, how do you want Show up and what are the outcomes?⠀
.⠀
This allows you to reset and switch to the new brain state.
