The Brain Training Reset
Designed by Bearmore
Inspired by Amber GlennWhen you feel pressure building and you just can’t get settled.
Go from a racing, pressured head to a calmer, more present one. Train attention with a device or just your breathing, slow it down, visualise the moments that matter, then you can move forward. Around 41 minutes for this focused training.
The runsheet
Train your attention
The centre of Glenn's kit. She calls neurofeedback "the gym but for your brain.” She watches her old footage and work towards relaxing into a flow state. No neurofeedback headset? Sit eyes-soft on one point, returning each time your attention drifts.
10 min activityBearmore’s thoughts on doing neurofeedback before breath work
This can help because breath work shifts to embodied regulation after the cognitive demands of brain training.
Slow breathing
Glenn says the training works by helping her breathe more slowly and relax her body. She also mentions HeartMath, a technique that pairs slow breathing with heart beat awareness. Try lengthening your out-breath and notice how your body starts to settle. No device needed.
5 min activityBearmore’s thoughts on doing breath work before visualisation
This pairing is especially effective because breath work clears mental fog, creating a clean screen where vivid images can project in high resolution.
Change your response to the image in your mind
Glenn's sessions involve watching her own competition footage while learning to regulate her response. We’ve swapped that out for a specific kind of visualisation. Visualise the moment that you feel tense about, and run it through your mind calmly. Then imagine it a second time going exactly the way you want it to. This is Bearmore's interpretation of a session that will work to the same aim.
5 min activityBearmore’s thoughts on doing visualisation before intention setting
This is one of the stronger pairings because mental rehearsal naturally supports clarifying personal intentions and directions.
Self- acceptance
Glenn has spoken about self-belief, and accepting that she need not be "more than what she already is." We add a short session to finish in that spirit: find one sentence that conveys your own self-acceptance. This is Bearmore's addition, but inspired by her mindset.
