Train Your Brain Podcast logo

Today is Episode 329 of the Train Your Brain Podcast! Welcome to our show! Today Dr. Trayford lets Producer Jason Pyles share the brain training tip. Jason’s tip is for us to always keep in mind that everyone is somebody else’s baby. If you take a moment to internalize that thought, especially if you have a child of your own, your whole perspective could change.

Give people the benefit of the doubt. No one is perfect and yet everyone is important to someone. Don’t judge too harshly the actions of others. This can help stress levels and feelings of contempt and give you some peace of mind. Thanks for listening!
