Brightn Monthly: Refresh Your Headspace – Let Go of Mental Clutter This Spring 🌷

As spring arrives, it's the perfect time to declutter not just our physical spaces but our mental space too. This month, we're focusing on techniques to help you clear mental clutter and create room for what truly matters in your life.

📌 FEATURED THIS MONTH

🔍 The Declutter Your Mind Challenge

Set aside 5-10 minutes each day for a mindfulness or journaling session. Use Brightn's AI journal to identify mental clutter you're holding onto, and explore healthy ways to release it.

🌬️ Deep Breathing Exercise of the Month

Try the 4-7-8 breathing technique: Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 7 counts, exhale for 8 counts. This simple practice can significantly reduce stress and clear your mind in just minutes.

💰 Create Your Mindful Spending Plan

Track all purchases for one week in a notebook. Categorize spending as "essential," "joy-bringing," or "forgettable." Adjust your budget to direct more resources toward joy-bringing expenses. Review monthly to ensure your money supports what truly matters to you.

⚡ Reflecting on Your "Why"

Take 10 minutes with pen and paper to list what truly energizes you versus what drains you. Create a simple personal mission statement from these insights. Review weekly, gradually removing activities that don't align with your core values.

Find all these activities in your Brightn App under the Explore tab to create your perfect weekly routine!

🌟 THRIVER SPOTLIGHT: GABE RUMMEL

Hi everyone! My name is Gabe Rummel, and I'm the founder of The Athletes Health, an online mental gym helping coaches, teams, and athletes improve their confidence and performance in both sports and life with quick and easy exercises.

I first connected with Jeff and Brightn just over a year ago when both Brightn and TAH were in their early stages. Seeing our shared mission, I wanted to learn from Jeff while also contributing to the space and growing my business.

A key focus of my work is mental clarity, using exercises like goal-setting, journaling, and being intentional about where our mind is focused. If we don't write things down or define our goals clearly, we limit our ability to make them happen. I often use the metaphor of driving through fog, you can't move forward confidently without a clear vision of where you're going! That's why I love what Brightn is doing, especially their approach to health, wealth, and purpose. Their journaling features align perfectly with the mental training exercises we use in #TAHMentalGym, making them an essential tool for strengthening the mental game.

With the arrival of spring, we encourage you to evaluate your commitments. Ask yourself:

• Which activities energize you and which drain you?

• What obligations can you respectfully step back from?

• How can you create more space for what truly matters?

Discover activities that energize and fulfill you, then add them to your weekly plan to ensure your well-being becomes a priority.
