<p>Download my new and improved brain detox app here: <a href="https://www.neurocycle.app/">https://neurocycle.app</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>SHOW DESCRIPTION:&nbsp;</strong>In this podcast&nbsp;I talk about what brain waves are, why they are important and how we can balance our brain waves to improve our mind and brain health. Our brain waves are active all the time because the brain is always active. <strong>The brain is active 24/7, 7 days a week</strong>! <strong>Our brain waves change in terms of how they move through the brain, which is based on what we are thinking, doing and feeling</strong>. When slower brain waves are dominant, we often feel tired, slow, sluggish, or dreamy, and are not able to process information or emotions very well. When the higher brain wave frequencies are dominant, we can feel wired or hyper-alert, like there is just too much going on in our brains. A healthy brain tries to balance these extremes.</p><p><br></p><p>Sign up to <a href="https://www.patreon.com/drcarolineleaf">Patreon</a> to get access to the full video and audio recording add-free, exclusive downloads, live Q&amp;As, and more.</p><p><br></p><p>Read the show blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-to-balance-your-brainwaves-the-different-brain-frequencies-how-they-impact-our-state-of-mind-the-difference-between-the-mind-brain</p><p><br></p><p>OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:</p><p>-<strong>Chime: Get started with Chime today.&nbsp;Applying for a free account takes less than 2 minutes.

<p>Download my new and improved brain detox app here: <a href="https://www.neurocycle.app/">https://neurocycle.app</a></p><p><br></p><p>Sign up to become a Neurocycle Certified Facilitator today and get 25% OFF! The first training will be on August 4-7 in Dallas, Texas.&nbsp;Just use code INAUG25 to get your discount:<a href="https://neurocycleinstitute.com/"> https://neurocycleinstitute.com</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>SHOW DESCRIPTION:&nbsp;</strong>In this podcastI talk about dreaming and mental health. This topic was inspired by an email I recently received: <em>“Since dreams come from our busy minds, can we slowly over time change our dreams in some way?&nbsp; I do not always remember dreams obviously but when I am awakened by dreams (often) or remember the next day, I do have a recurring pattern of always hurrying or being super frustrated, anxious!&nbsp; I cannot help but think this is part of why I get so tired some days as I do not rest peacefully at night.&nbsp; I’m just thinking dreams must be all part of the mental mind and I would love to have my dreams peaceful, pleasant, restful, whether I remember the dream or not, I feel like not having all the anxiety and frustration in the dreams would be very helpful to my awake hours.”&nbsp;</em></p><p>We need to remember that <strong>detoxing the mind and brain doesn’t just take place when we are awake</strong>. We also detox our thoughts when we sleep. in fact, our dreams can help us sort out our thoughts and clean up our mental mess. They have a purpose—recurring dreams may even indicate an unresolved issue in our lives, so it is important that we try and pay attention to what we dream about.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Read the show blog here:&nbsp;https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/the-neuroscience-of-dreams-nightmares-how-to-have-better-dreams-help-your-children-process-understand-nightmares</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Sign up to Patreon to get access to bonus ad-free podcasts, exclusive downloads, live Q&amp;As, and more: https://www.patreon.com/drcarolineleaf.</p><p><br></p><p>OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:</p><p>-<strong>Nootropics by BiOptimizers: Just go to </strong><a href="http://nootopia.com/drleaf"><strong>nootopia.com/drleaf</strong></a><strong> and enter coupon code DRLEAF10 for an extra 10% off your order, and experience your best mood and mental performance with personalized Nootropics!</strong></p><p><strong>-Thrive Causemetics: Right now, you can get 15% off your first order when you visit&nbsp;</strong><a href="http://thrivecausemetics.com/DRLEAF"><strong>thrivecausemetics.com/DRLEAF</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><p><strong>-Bonafide:&nbsp;My listeners get a special offer when they subscribe to any product by going to </strong><a href="https://hellobonafide.com/"><strong>HelloBonafide.com</strong></a><strong> and using promo code DRLEAF.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:</p><p>-Get my new book Cleaning up Your Mental Mess here: https://www.cleaningupyourmentalmess.com</p><p>-Get a free Cleaning up Your Mental Mess workbook when you subscribe to my weekly email at drleaf.com!</p><p><br></p><p>-Visit my website at https://drleaf.com for more free resources</p><p>-Instagram: @drcarolineleaf: https://www.instagram.com/drcarolineleaf/-</p><p>-Facebook: Dr. Caroline Leaf: https://www.facebook.com/drleaf</p><p>-Twitter: @drcarolineleaf: https://twitter.com/DrCarolineLeaf</p><p>-Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/drcarolineleaf</p><p><br></p><p><em>*DISCLAIMER: This podcast and blog are for educational purposes only and are not intended as medical advice.

The person co-regulates by staying present for the individual, helping them navigate a challenging experience and move towards greater self-awareness. This involves a supportive relationship between two or more people that is process-driven—<strong>the goal is to help a person self-regulate themselves while they are in a highly emotional state.&nbsp;</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Read the show blog here:&nbsp;https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-co-regulation-can-help-build-self-regulation-skills</strong></p><p>Sign up to Patreon to get access to bonus ad-free podcasts, exclusive downloads, live Q&amp;As, and more: https://www.patreon.com/drcarolineleaf.</p><p><br></p><p>OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:</p><p>-<strong>Nord VPN: Using my link </strong><a href="https://nordvpn.com/cleaningup"><u><strong>https://nordvpn.com/cleaningup</strong></u></a><strong> you can receive a huge discount on a 2-year plan + 1 free month.

We all go through difficult times, and we all battle with “mental health.” If there is a mental health day, it should be something that raises awareness that all people suffer from the “human condition”, that emotions like sadness, stress, grief and unhappiness are a normal part of life, and that we are there to help one another. This should not be a day to stigmatize some people with the label of “mentally ill” and deem others as “normal”.</p><p><br></p><p>Sign up to Patreon to get access to the ad-free version of this session + more bonus items: https://www.patreon.com/drcarolineleaf.</p><p>Read the blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/should-we-have-mental-health-days-at-school</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>OFFERS FROM OUR SPONSORS:</p><p>-<strong>Gladskin: Right now, Gladskin is offering my listeners 15% off plus free shipping on your first order at </strong><a href="https://gladskin.com/collections/acne-prone?utm_source=CleaningUpTheMentalMesswDrLeaf&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=q2_2022_podcast"><u><strong>gladskin.com/DRLEAF</strong></u></a><strong>.</strong></p><p><strong>-Chime: Get started with Chime today.
