This is Ruining Your Brain

Someone is talking to you and you are nodding but you are already three thoughts ahead planning your reply. Relatable? The mind is almost never where the body is and that can take a toll in the long run. Food eaten while scrolling digests poorly because your body stays in fight or flight mode instead of switching to rest and digest - meaning digestive enzymes don't release properly, stomach acid reduces and the gut muscles don't contract the way they should. Sleep that comes after an hour of screens doesn't fully recover you as the brain stays busy processing the overload of information you just fed it. A conversation where you were half present leaves the other person feeling lonely and unheard 😔 A regular yoga practice is one of the most natural ways to train your brain and our Daily Yoga Classes can be a good place to begin.
