As we head into the New Year, many of us may focus on improving our lifestyles, diet, and movement habits. No matter what your goals for 2024 are, we know that having a deeper understanding of how our brain works and what we can do to optimize our ability to achieve those goals is critical.
Unfortunately, our modern lifestyles are full of distractions, and we are often bombarded with information and access to choices, making us anxious and making it difficult to focus on what we truly need. How do we empower ourselves to focus on what truly matters, achieve our goals, and protect our brains from being hijacked in the process?
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with psychiatrist, speaker, and author Dr. Anders Hansen to discuss key lifestyle practices that can protect our brain and focus. Dr. Hansen shows us how our brain has not evolved to cope with the constant stimuli from our modern world and often reacts to these distractions through basic survival instincts even though our lives are not at risk. Dr. Hansen shares the importance of preventing information and access overload to avoid anxiety and depression and operating in a constant state of comparison. He also shares practical tips we can implement to bring awareness to our defense mechanisms and thrive in our current world.
