How do I look after my brain? I’ve never quite figured that out. I’m trying every day. I try to be kind to myself. To be fair; to be understanding. I exercise my brain with art and poetry and puzzles. I treat it to another world completely, with novels and films. Sometimes I let it switch off with reruns of Sex and the City, but it’s always buzzing in the background. I run. I sleep. I eat (as healthily as I can).

I think my brain probably looks after me more than I look after it.
