OVERCOMING STRESS-INDUCED BRAIN FOG: 10 Simple Ways to Find Focus, Improve Memory, and Feel Grounded

Chronic stress causes brain fog by raising blood pressure, weakening the immune system, and triggering depression and mental fatigue. Due to the pandemic, more people are experiencing stress-induced brain fog than ever before.

Brain fog – that feeling of being overstimulated and stressed to the point where it affects the ability to focus, concentrate, or communicate effectively – is a very real issue for many people. The prolonged stress and anxiety that lead to brain fog can decrease motivation, passion, and even one's sense of self-worth. This book presents proven-effective skills from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and neuroscience, and offers readers ten powerful and accessible approaches for cutting through the haze and reclaiming control.
