Brain Recharge
The cool part of the brain and body is that they are resilient and can be recharged. Anything that allows the brain to pause or have a break in the incessant chatter, worry, activity, and/or stress can help it recharge. This can be anything from a few minutes of music, massages, laughter, breathing exercises, meditation, hot baths, dancing, coloring, singing along to your favorite song, napping, or time alone. One of the single-best ways to recharge your brain battery is to walk in nature -- gently, and with ease. This walk is not about looking to see how far, how long, and how hard you can go; rather, it’s about soaking in the good of the earth around you. About being aware. About being mindful.
