Cognitive neuroscientist Caroline Leaf shares four daily tips for a younger and more resilient brain. First, take note of your morning emotions and manage any negative thoughts or complaints. Second, prepare your brain for waves of emotion by practicing calming techniques like deep breathing or grounding exercises. Third, designate a safe space in your home for emotional reflection and train yourself to associate it with mind work.
