How to Rewire Your Brain for Focus and Calm

Executive function (how focused you are) and emotional awareness (how calm you are) play a major role in helping you perform at your best. You can rewire your brain with simple daily habits so that it automatically defaults to a calm, focused state. It takes about 66 days to make a new habit automatic — if you commit to that time, it can change your life dramatically. Endurance training, intermittent fasting, meditation, and smart supplementation work together to upgrade your brain on a biological level. You have a big deadline looming but you’ve been bingeing ‘90s sitcoms on Netflix for the last four hours. Or maybe you get totally overwhelmed by the slightest bit of emotional stress, even though rationally you know it’s not a big deal. This behavior happens to everyone, and it definitely isn’t weakness on your part — it comes down to how your brain is wired. Without training, your brain is reactive. It seeks comfort above all else and chases whatever is right in front of you. Getting your brain to do difficult things — working, staying calm, dealing with stress — takes effort, especially if you aren’t in the habit of controlling it. Fortunately, your brain is extraordinarily pliable, and with the right tools, you can rewire your brain pathways to respond better to challenging situations. Read on to learn how to reset your brain — at a biological level — for more focus and calm.
