145 Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess: Mental Clarity Starts Here

We kick off a new year and series with Dr. Caroline Leaf’s Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess, linking emotional warning signals to health, performance, and leadership. We share why mind management beats quick fixes and how small, steady practices rewire thought patterns for real change.

• five-step mind management as a response to stress signals
• the difference between mind and brain and why it matters
• how toxic thinking drives inflammation and disease risk
• turning emotion into data, not directives
• from information overload to deep, applied learning
• self-leadership practices that improve team outcomes
• practical pacing for reading, reflection and habit change
• resources: Agile Brain exercise and Substack archive
