Preparing to be at our Brain Best

We know that preparing ahead of time gives us a much better chance

for our day and week to go as we would like it. It makes it more likely

we will be at our ‘Brain Best’.

▪Prep4Best involves predicting what may go wrong

▪It then involves planning how things can go well

e.g. “I may get hooked into You Tube and spend the whole day on

screen. I know this will impact on my levels of serotonin.”

“To prevent this from happening, I will give myself a structure for the

day and keep screen watching to later rather than first thing.”
