Time to relax!
- “I like to consider myself scientific. The idea of meditation was pretty much the embodiment of everything I hated. One time during my second year at University, my seminar leader instructed the class to sit on the ground, shut our eyes and indulge in some shared meditation. I was furious. My friend (of course he was Californian) loved it. Looking back on it now, he was right. The thing is, I didn’t know how to let go.” – How Mindfulness is Helping Me Relax
- “We prize multitaskers for their capacity to juggle. We strive to be more like them. The truth is that most of us have no idea anymore how to uni-task, which is a fancy way of saying focus on Just. One. Thing. This loss is hurting us. Our brains simply aren’t designed to take in so much disparate information at once.” – How to stop multitasking and relax
- “Modern working patterns, and in particular our use of technology such as smartphones, make it harder to establish clear boundaries between our work and personal lives. We are constantly bombarded with sensory information and exposed to global events in an instant. When coupled with greater demands on our time and less time for ourselves, this gradually can lead to stress or burnout.” – How to deal with stress and relax, according to a psychologist
- “Overexposure to technology and media can shut off humans from one another, decreasing meaningful interactions, Hanamean said.
‘I think they have done a bunch of psychological studies about being indoors a ton and being so enraptured with technology. It just kind of deadens you to the world,’ Hanamean said. ‘I think being outside in nature refreshes that spirit of, ‘Hey, let’s be people;’ let’s have these interpersonal connections and it gets you back to your roots.’” – Outdoor activity linked to improvements in emotional health - “Contrary to popular belief, the perfect nap doesn’t need to be long — but it must be consistent, quick, and in the dark. The power nap (10 to 20 minutes) is ideal for a boost in focus and productivity, according to a 2012 study. Researchers found the 10-minute nap produced immediate improvements in sleep latency, sleepiness, fatigue, vigor, and cognitive performance.” – Nap Time: Studies show afternoon naps help improve emotional health, memory
