5 Ways To Refresh Your Mind

It's the middle of the day and your brain seems to go blank. Have you experienced this? We think you did, and the reason must be, you are putting too much concentration and focus nonstop on everything you need to do to get your work done. In the end, you get exhausted and the work isn't finished, in fact, you don't even know how to restart.

Don't worry (but pay attention), because this has a good solution or path which could help you get on track again, without blowing your brain circuits! Refresh your mind, we'll tell you how on these 5 easy steps!

1. Take a Break!

Have a pause. Really, it's that simple. Step away from your workspace for some minutes, go outside, stretch, listen to a song or songs, try pausing what you are doing if you can for some minutes and it will make you a little more focused when you come back. This will happen because you allowed yourself to step back. We all need a break, we are not machines! Respect your break, don't get too distracted on social media, while at it. The purpose here is to unwind.

2. Take Deep Breaths

It has been proven that practicing deep breathing exercises will lower levels of anxiety. There is a scientific reason for that: slow and deep breathing will stimulate the vagus nerve (popularly named wandering nerve) and release the anti-stress chemical acetylcholine. What will it do exactly? It will slow down your heart rate and relax you!
