On my journey into exploring thinking and improving my own mental clarity and efficacy I have discovered techniques that have helped me lift the brain fog. These are things I know work from my experience. As I implemented each strategy I noticed improved my clarity of mind. Here is a summary of what I have learned.

1. Being in Nutritional Ketosis

This is a sure fire way to lift brain fog, and improve mental clarity. Restrict your net-carb intake (total carbs minus fibre) increase healthy fats and moderate protein intake to get into ketosis. The brain prefers to be fuelled by Ketone bodies even while requiring some glucose. Additionally as part of your diet you may want to consider regularly consuming sardines and/or anchovies for Omega-3 oils along with raw butter from organically raised grass fed cows as a means of getting the healthful fats required for optimal brain function.

2. Regular Exercise

BDNF or Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor is released through aerobic exercise. This substance boosts your ability to make new brain cells. It’s like spraying “easy start” into the engine of your brain! Its an entirely natural chemical pathway, your body does it anyway, but earobic exercise is a simple and very ewffective way to stimulate its release. Get a pair of running shoes and get out in the fresh air to boost your ability to regenerate brain cells. Google it, it is scientifically proven. There are various supplements (listed below) that also release this brain fog lifting chemical, but aerobic exercise is the simplest and least expensive option. There are stacks of other health benefits from it too. I had been meaning to get into something regular for years, but when I found out that it was a great way to maintain and improve your brain, i was sold!

3. Think rationally and deliberately integrate all thoughts, ideas and convictions

This means consciously cross-pollinating ideas in your own mind. It means ensuring that thoughts rub up against each other and affect each other even across seemingly disparate subject areas. Specifically it means making sure none of our thoughts or convictions contradict each other since this indicates an error. There are no contradictions in reality. Accurate thinking with knowledge of reality as its goal (truth) must accurately reflect reality by similarly not containing contradictions, and above all reason must be our only guide to knowledge.

4. Create Mental standing orders

We can use our intention to give a set of instructions for our subconscious mind to follow. This is what it does. The subconscious is our supercomputer available to run any applications we care to program it with. So if we give it a ‘standing order’ to always perform specific mental tasks to increase awareness and knowledge we can harness its immense power. Intention, tapping and affirmations all help to back up this programming. Instruct your subconscious to always prompt you with appropriate information, to always suggest appropriate questions so we can discover what we don’t know! Program it to seek out buried contradictions in our beliefs and always to seek to understand and expand your total sum of knowledge. This is a massive tool to tap into un-used brain capacity. I have found regular EFT sessions on myself combined with deliberate and concious intent (Deciding that I am going to do this, I am going to change my behaviour, my subconsiously controlled learned habits and patterns of response) to be very effective at reshaping habits and consciously re-writing chosen habits preferences and choices..

5. Consider Using These Supplements
