We never seem to have time to relax due to work, family and other commitments. We need to learn how to relax, chill out, get our selves back in tune. We also tend to follow the same routine most of the time, leaving one side of our brain unurtured. "But I thought I had only have one brain" (I hear you say). Yes we have one brain which has two sides, the left and right sides.
People who are left brain dominated are said to be more analytical, logical, sequential, and objective. They tend to look at halves, whilst right brain thinkers are said to be thoughtful, random, holistic, intuitive and subjective. They tend to look at wholes.
It might help once in a while to do something totally different from your normal routine to invigorate yourself and give your slightly more active side an opportunity to recuperate whilst nourishing your other side of your brain. So after thinking, try and be creative, draw, dance, paint, keep moving, stretch, take a couple of deep breaths, yawn, open windows for more air. All this will get your brain active again. If you tend to do creative things, take a break, read an article, listen to a program, try and write something down. Worth a try!
