Stimulate Your Brain

Studies have shown time and time again what humans have known for centuries. There is a link between coffee and cognition.

Caffeine can wake up the brain and make it easier to focus. Reaching for a Cup of Joe might be just what is needed to get things moving.

You might want to save this one for the days when you are struggling just a little bit more. But if coffee/tea is a regular part of your day, make sure you aren’t accidentally skipping your morning cup. Caffeine “withdraw” might be relatively mild, but it can still cause the brain to fog over or even give you a wicked headache. Neither of those things is going to help you focus on the task at hand.

Can’t do caffeine? Search out other natural snacks that can help with your cognitive skills. Walnuts, avocados, and even chocolate can help boost your brainpower. These each have natural properties that may help with your focus.

Of course, eating or drinking the wrong things can also sap your brain’s energy and focus power. Watch out for treats or sodas with high sugar levels, as these can cause your blood sugar to fluctuate. This drains your energy level, making you feel sleepy or sluggish
