Train Your Brain
“Do not dwell in the past,
do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
~ Buddha
We have
all experienced a time sitting in front of our computers waiting for our brain
to organize our thoughts into forming a cohesive breakthrough idea. But what if
there was a way to trigger these actions to activate creative moments more
often? Brainstorming ideas are often effective in prompting our brains to reach
the goal oriented network, allowing access to the insightful and creative
functions of our brain. Learn a few daily activates to train your brain to give
rise to more breakthrough thinking.
Oddly
enough, the most useful way to create a lightbulb idea in your mind at work is
to focus on something completely different, a quick meditation, a stand up and
stretch exercise, reading a news article or learning about a new product or
service often helps you refocus. This allows your brain to recharge with new
and innovative information that will help trigger a refreshed mindset.
One of
the most common and beneficial activities to help with brain function is
exercise. Put on your walking shoes during your lunch break and get moving
outside. Physical activity allows the blood to circulate and gives you a second
burst of energy to your brain for the second half of the day.
You might
think being at the office is the best time for breakthrough thinking but,
physical activity before or after work can also be very compelling. Allowing
yourself to be entertained by reading books, magazines or even playing video
games can help build those brainstorming muscles.
Professional
life should be enjoyable, including incorporating creative and thoughtful
ideas. Take time to focus on training and building your brain to let in growth and
understanding in other areas of interest.
