We always encourage each person to make the decision that seems best for their situation with the guidance of a medical professional. Indeed, as a medical doctor with multiple qualifications, he was taught little about the impact lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise could impact our mental and physical health! Thankfully, times are changing, especially as more and more research is being published on the importance of our lifestyle choices. We now know that pills and procedures are not everything; around 20% of diseases are genetic, which means 80% are related to our diet and lifestyle. This is great news! It means that our health is largely in our hands, which very empowering. In the ’80s, Caroline’s research from working with people with head injuries and learning challenges showed that if you directly and intentionally develop your mind, you can actually change your brain because your mind is malleable and trainable.Dr. Rudolph E. Tanzi, New York Times bestselling author of The Healing Self and professor of neurology, Harvard Medical School

Dr. Caroline Leaf is a brilliant and prolific communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist. With over thirty years in research and study, she delves into Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess with these five simple steps to help reduce our anxieties, stress, and toxic thinking. There is no better time to introduce these strategies than now.

This book will read like a manual to guide you through the vicissitudes of life to a better and healthier place." Fighting injustice and fighting for what you believe often sounds exciting, but it can come at a great cost. Yet the cost of being inauthentic, of denying who you are and what you believe in, is often greater, and can keep you in bondage, as I discuss in this week’s blog and podcast with speaker, NY Times best-selling author and top podcast host Jen Hatmaker. As Jen discusses in her amazing new book Fierce, Free and Full of Fire: The Guide to Being Gloriously You, even though standing up for what you believe is right and embracing who you are and what you want in life can be challenging, the struggle is worth it. On the other side you will find beauty, fulfillment and true freedom. In current times, it is no wonder there is an increase in mental health concerns. People are becoming more anxious, depressed, and stressed. This is a normal response to very adverse circumstances.

About

Part 1 of Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess discusses what mind-management is, what happens when we don’t use our minds properly, and how the results of my recent clinical trials show why mind-management is the solution to cleaning up your mental mess.

Dr. Leaf told me “I truly believe that mental mess is something we all experience often and that it isn’t something we should be ashamed of. She mentions that “this is my profession, and I still have to clean up my mind daily. The events and circumstances of life aren’t going anywhere; people make a lot of decisions every day that affect us all, suffering of some sort for you and your loved ones is inevitable. That said, I wholeheartedly believe that although the events and circumstances can’t be controlled, we can control our reactions to these events and circumstances. This is mind-management in action!” Which to me is exactly what self-regulation is all about. https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-to-deal-with-the-death-of-a-dream-tips-for-building-self-confidence-common-mindsets-of-the-most-successful-people-interview-with-ed-mylett Biom: For a limited time you can enjoy 15% off your first one month supply of NOBS (only applicable to the small 1 month jar) with the code DRLEAF at https://betterbiom.com/DRLEAF.In this podcast, I talk about how to make staying at home more productive, how to get more things done in less time, and how to organize your commitments and make the most of your life with world-renown productivity expert David Allen. In Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess, Dr. Leaf discusses her search for answers to perplexing questions concerning mental health--and shows how our psyche and emotions release physiological chemicals that negatively affect us cognitively, behaviorally, and emotionally. She sets out to prove that although we must live in a world filled with stressors that keep us in perpetual states of anxiety, we can mitigate these negative effects through self-awareness and simple practices. By understanding the nature of such stressors, which are major contributing factors to mental illness, we will find a remedy stronger than any pharmaceutical--a strategy I call 'mind over matter.'" Her work was some of the first neuroplasticity research in her field. Around the mid ‘90s people began to understand that the brain could change, but the language gave more focus to the brain and not the mind.
