Episode 3: How to Soothe and Anxious Mind

If you are on a quest to find more energy and vitality, you need to start with an overview of your daily habits. Do you look at your phone first thing on rising? It’s not just draining your phone battery but also your mind. Modern technology and lack of daydreaming has out our mind into constant task mode, which locks us into a hyper vigilant state. Dr Fiona Kerr has spent decades researching the brain and in this special guest episode she goes through some of the simple acts we can do every day to give the brain time to play, so that we feel our best, get more energy, and connect to things that matter. Let’s rewire our minds, to get the most out of life!
