I feel that my brain is going soft, and it's causing me some problems on my job and a lot of stress. My job requires mental acuity and sustained focus. I feel like I'm constantly struggling to think faster and better, which I never used to have issues with.
My ability to multi-task has really gone down hill. I am easily distracted, and then once distracted, I will have zero recall of what I was doing just 30 seconds prior. I feel like i am struggling.
So, I have been looking for ways to improve my brain power. I have focused a lot on my diet.
I just started taking high-dose fish oil gel caps (orange flavored in case I end up smelling fishy
). I am trying to keep all of my everyday vegetables, fruits and dairy organic.
I have also introduced range fed beef and chicken, and am making sure my eggs are range fed as well. Grass-fed beef has 20x the omega 3's and other nutrients, and less fat that grain-fed beef has.
I have cut way down on sugar and eliminated diet coke altogether. (this is how desparate I am for improvement!)
I recently discovered a nice trick -- about 30 minutes before a meeting I'll eat 8 nuts. It really helps me to remember things better and think better during the meeting. The problem with this trick is -- my days are filled with back-to-back meetings! I can't eat nuts all day they have too much fat.
Have you found any habits or tricks (or elimination of existing) that you feel has made you think clearer?
thank you!
