Simple Daily Habits for Cognitive Health

At MyNOW Wellness, we go beyond merely addressing symptoms of cognitive decline. Our unique combination of Micro Current Neurofeedback (MCN) and therapeutic techniques helps rebuild your brain’s natural capacity for focus, clarity, and emotional resilience. To enhance your treatment results, here are some easy, supportive habits you can adopt at home.

In this post, you’ll discover:

• How small adjustments to your morning routine can boost the impact of your MCN sessions

• Science-backed daily practices to support emotional balance and mental clarity between therapy sessions

• Common habits that might be slowing down your brain training progress, plus effective alternatives to support your cognitive health goals

Unlocking Your Brain’s Full Potential

Picture your brain as a garden: MCN and therapy sessions provide the expert care needed to nurture growth and resilience. But just like a garden needs consistent daily care, your brain benefits greatly from supportive habits between sessions. Those who commit to these habits often experience deeper, more lasting results.

Laying the Groundwork

MCN and holistic therapy offered at MyNOW Wellness set the stage for meaningful cognitive transformation. Our advanced Micro Current neurofeedback technology works to reshape brain wave patterns, while therapeutic guidance builds emotional resilience. Daily habits between sessions can be crucial—they reinforce and amplify the progress made during your treatments. Research reveals that neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form and strengthen new pathways, thrives with regular practice and consistency.

Morning Habits to Prime Your Brain

Starting your day with brain-supportive practices can enhance your treatment outcomes:

Quality Sleep

• Maintain regular sleep and wake times

• Sleep helps consolidate the gains from MCN sessions

• Well-rested brains engage more fully in therapy sessions

Hydration

• Start each morning with 16-20 oz of water

• Hydration supports brain function and neuroplasticity

• Mild dehydration can impair focus and mood

Morning Movement

• Light stretching or gentle exercise increases blood flow to the brain

• Physical activity enhances neuroplasticity, promoting brain training effects

• Movement supports emotional regulation, benefiting your therapeutic work

Mindful Screen Use

• Delay screen time for the first 30 minutes after waking

• Natural light exposure regulates your circadian rhythm, supporting brain health

• Limiting screens supports brain patterns reinforced in treatment

Daytime Practices That Support Your Treatment

Practices maintained throughout the day can strengthen the effects of MCN and therapy:

Stress Management

• Practice breathing exercises from therapy

• Take short meditation breaks during the day

• Use mindfulness techniques that enhance MCN benefits

Brain-Friendly Nutrition

• Eat balanced meals for stable blood sugar levels

• Include brain-supportive foods like those rich in omega-3s

• Stay hydrated to sustain mental clarity and resilience

Strategic Breaks

• Schedule 5-minute breaks every hour to prevent mental fatigue

• Incorporate grounding techniques learned in therapy

• Brief movements during breaks improve cognitive performance

Mindfulness Practices

• Integrate moments of mindful awareness throughout your day

• Apply therapeutic techniques to stay present and balanced

• Adjust habits to align with your treatment goals

Evening Habits to Reinforce Progress

Your evening routine impacts how well your brain processes and retains the gains from treatment:

Wind-Down Routine

• Start reducing stimulation 2 hours before bed

• Practice relaxation techniques introduced in therapy

• Create a calm, consistent evening rhythm

Digital Wellness

Habits That May Interfere with Progress

Avoiding certain habits can help you maximize treatment benefits:

Inconsistent Routines

• Irregular sleep disrupts MCN progress

• Skipping meals can destabilize focus and energy

• Irregular session attendance may slow cognitive gains

Excessive Stimulants

• Caffeine late in the day can interfere with sleep quality

• Alcohol can hinder brain health

• Energy drinks may disrupt sleep patterns
