Fatigue is often an outcome of dehydration. STUDY: 1% dehydration causes a 5% decrease in cognitive function. Sip water throughout the day to stay alert, clear and focused. Avoid soda, which is loaded with sugar and salt, both of which contribute to dehydration and fatigue.<\/li>\n<li>Move &#8211; Sitting is the new smoking &#8211; Small actions make a big different. Stand. Stretch. Move. Every hour. Walk the hall. Take calls standing. Use the stairs instead of the elevator. Ten minutes of movement 3x\/day = 30 minutes at once. Move to alleviate brain fog, improve problem solving, and reverse the metabolic dysfunction caused by sitting.<\/li>\n<li>Breathe &#8211; Breathing promotes mental clarity &amp; focus &#8211; Breathing oxygenates the blood to the brain increasing mental clarity and focus, lowers stress by triggering the release of a cascade of chemicals that clam the mind and body. Inhale through the nose to a count of six or eight, hold for a few seconds and exhale slowly for the same count.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2300\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/studentpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brain.Tips_.optimized-194x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"194\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/studentpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brain.Tips_.optimized-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/studentpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brain.Tips_.optimized-662x1024.jpg 662w, https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/studentpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brain.Tips_.optimized-768x1188.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/studentpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brain.Tips_.optimized-993x1536.jpg 993w, https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/studentpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brain.Tips_.optimized-1324x2048.jpg 1324w, https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/studentpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Brain.Tips_.optimized-scaled.jpg 1655w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>SCHOLARSHIPS &amp; WRITING COMPETITIONS<\/h2>\n<h3><strong><em>Pennsylvania Bar Association Family Law Section Scholarship Program<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Pennsylvania Bar Association Family Law Section is offering scholarships to Law Students interested in Family Law to attend the annual Conference in January held at the Philadelphia Loews Hotel.
