Are You Suffering From Brain Drain?
Why is it so important to exercise our brains?
Our brains are composed of different areas or "mental muscles", and we can strengthen them through mental exercise- or they get atrophied for lack of practice. The benefits are both short-term (improved concentration and memory, sustained mental clarity under stressful situations...), and long-term (creation of a "brain reserve" that help protect us against potential problems such as Alzheimer's).
What is something that can help with 'Brain Drain'?
Keep a handy To Do List and call Best Friend Errand Service to get those things done.
What are 1 or 2 things that are guaranteed "brain drains"?
1) high-levels of anxiety and stress, that are guaranteed to distract us from our main goals and waste our limited mental energies.
2) a very repetitive and routine-driven life, lacking in novelty and stimulation. We have brains to be able to learn and to adapt to new environments
The trick therefore, is to take on new challenges that are not way too difficult/ impossible, and learn how to manage stress to prevent anxiety from kicking-in.

What Have We Done Lately?
Best Friend Errand Service Keeps Our Customers On Time and Out of Lines! |
|
|
Our customer had gone for month without a watch because the band had broken. Each morning he left the watch on his dresser because he couldn't wear it, but he really meant to put it in his pocket so he could get a new band at lunch. Finally, he called us and we picked up the watch, got the new band and had it returned to the dresser when he got home that night.
Our customer could not find his new registration sticker for his vehicle and it was the end of the month. He needed the sticker that day to keep his car legal. We were able to confirm that the sticker had been mailed and that all he needed was a replacement, then get the appropriate paperwork and wait in line at the BMV to pick up the new sticker and registration. |
