Kwik Brain with Jim Kwik

How do you go from burnout to balance? Most of us have days where we feel depleted, helpless, overloaded, where you don’t want to get out of bed, and much less pursue your dreams. But what if you’re feeling like this on most days? Then you might be suffering from a burnout. Our bodies and brains are equipped to handle stress in short bursts, but not over long extended periods of time. The impact of burnout is very real. Lack of motivation, decrease in confidence and performance, increased moodiness, negative thinking, all of which lower the quality of life you desire and deserve. But this burnout is a signal, not a sentence. So in this episode, I would like to talk about the signs of burnout AND the solutions you can apply to negate them. *Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

“Do EMFs harm your brain?” I get a lot of questions about learning, brain health, and etc. in our private fb group, and I came a crossed this question we haven’t addressed yet. I know it’s hard to imagine living in a world without your smartphones and computers, but what does living in a sea of electronics do to our brains? I was recently at an anti-aging conference where I shared the stage with Dr. Joseph Mercola, who can offer very strong advice in this area so I took the opportunity to ask him some questions about EMFs and the effect it has on the brain. In this episode, Dr. Mercola will share tools and strategies you can use to protect yourself and your family from possible harmful effects of EMFs. Dr. Mercola is a multiple New York Times Bestselling Author, and his website www.Mercola.com is one of the world’s leading natural health website with millions of monthly visitors. This interview is not intended as medical advice. Please do your research and talk to your healthcare practitioner for any questions you may have.

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? The fountain of youth is found between your ears. In this episode, I would like to talk about brain tips based on Dr. Daniel Amen’s book, “Use Your Brain to Change Your Age.” We all want a brain that’s healthy and agile. In this book, I dedicated a chapter on lifelong learning and how to use that to keep your brain young, agile, and adaptable. We can keep our brain young by developing new connection through novelty and nutrition. And in this episode, I want to talk about some of the exercises you can do to create more connections in your brain. 20 Tips to help you become a lifelong learner: Find your motivation to learn something new. Read books, not just articles and emails. Turn your car into University on wheels. Stop telling yourself you have a poor memory. Don’t let school get in the way of your education. Use your creativity to memorize a list. Remember names. Use a visual pacer to read. Sharpen your brain during leisure time. Try something new. Teach to someone else. Take notes. Be curious. Ask yourself, “How am I smart?” Find your learning style.. Don’t stop challenging your brain. Meditate. Boost your pre-frontal cortex by setting goals. Boost your brain’s flexibility by reflecting. Get enough rest. You can pick 2 or 3 new activities from this list to add to your day. Which ones are you going to incorporate? Cheers to your ageless brain!
