What is Busy Brain Syndrome?
Our complex digital world causes our senses to be constantly bombarded from all directions. The result is Busy Brain Syndrome (BBS) – where the brain runs out of processing bandwidth causing people to increasingly operate on ‘autopilot’.
We think we are ‘clever’ and at the top of the ‘species food chain’ with our BIG brain – true – with a giant CAVEAT. That big brain has a narrow fixed input system which is below conscious awareness – for good reason. BBS or overload causes that narrow input system to jam-up leaving the clever brain dormant.
BBS manifests as lack of focus, poor ability to pay attention, constant distraction, relentless ‘mind stories’ (monkey mind)’, stress, overload, overwhelm, not getting things done, rampant political correctness. BBS (autopilot) is the ‘root cause’ of accidents, incidents, poor behaviours, silo mentality, miscommunication, avoidance behaviours and decision paralysis.
Awareness is shut down, people are NOT focused on what they are DOING
Conquer Busy Brain Syndrome
Technology changed the human environment ‘too fast’
Sensory bombardment, BBS, means brain processing fails to keep up. The mindspace® program shows people how to re-boot their brain processing and overcome BBS.
People learn how to ‘manually override the unconscious autopilot brain’
People re-learn how to ‘constantly engage’ our most important, innate human ability – AWARENESS – which has been annihilated by BB.
AWARENESS is not a conscious mind function – it is a physical function!
When people are aware, they pay attention and respond’ rather than ‘unconsciously reacting’.
Develop Your Sensory Awareness (SQ)
“Come to your senses” – think, behave reasonably after a period of irrationality.
We know SQ as that ‘gut feeling’ where we know we shouldn’t have done something because we had a feeling it would go pear-shaped’. We do it because the ‘mind’ dismisses our ‘gut’ as irrational, justifying and rationalising why the mind is correct – then we kick ourselves for not listening.
Holistic intelligence = SQ (sensory awareness) + EQ + IQ – the body working with the mind.
The solution to conquer BBS is to re-engage our most basic innate skill our sensory awareness or sensory intelligence (SQ) – our senses notice our environment – NOT OUR MIND!!!!
SQ is unconscious and operates all the time – if it didn’t, humans would be extinct.

Consulting
Controlling and ’overriding’ distraction involves mastering ‘awareness’ and paying attention to right here, now. Data from 90+% of incident investigations be they safety, cybersecurity, work process or quality breaches find that human error is the root cause. Lucia has spent the past 15 years training people to successfully control brain overload and distraction in a wide range of industries from transport – rail and road, utilities, construction, manufacturing through to government, healthcare, education and financial services.
