Regain Your Mental Edge: Overcoming the Attention Span Challenge …
… You think you can multitask? Think again! Chances are, it's actually shortening your attention span. Constant digital bombardment and screens everywhere make things worse.
Prof. Kramer notes that what used to be 2 1/2 minutes two decades ago to just 45 seconds today before our minds wander (source).
To combat this: reduce distractions, turn off non-essential notifications, and embrace mindfulness practices. Prioritize physical fitness, stress reduction, and quality sleep to boost concentration. Also, new activities like learning a musical instrument or a new language can significantly improve your cognitive abilities.
Remember, focused attention, not multitasking, is the key to enhanced memory and effective problem-solving.

Dive into Relief: Cold Waters Menstruation & Menopause Magic …
… Are you navigating the challenges of menopause or challenging menstrual cycles while running your business?
A University College London study offers a refreshing solution: cold-water swimming (study).
With 1,114 women participants, the research revealed remarkable benefits for those braving chilly waters. About half reported significant reductions in anxiety, while others experienced fewer mood swings (35%), less low mood (31%), and a decrease in hot flushes (30%).
The study was done with women recruited via social media, so the chances are that especially women who benefitted from cold water dives participated but the benefits are still significant.
This natural remedy isn't just about physical relief; it's about reclaiming your vitality and emotional balance. So, I suggest you embrace this invigorating practice for both mental and physical rejuvenation. Imagine finding your menstrual or menopause symptoms easing with each swim, restoring your energy to lead and inspire in your professional life.
(By the way, even before seeing the research, I did my own cold-water swimming … as I’ve been doing for years. Have a look at my LinkedIn post ??).
