Clear up your mind in under 30 minutes

Dean Francis Alfar

How many times have you struggled to focus and get creative ideas to the table, constantly bouncing from one thought to the other?

This is a typical problem of my social media generation where attention span equals 1 second and you end up losing your valuable time scrolling through the online information litter way past midnight.

The thing is - our brain is lazy. It is happy to be fed with entertaining information. Have you ever heard of a lazy brain syndrom? If your brain is constantly procrastinating, it even begins to shrink. Consider it as an athlete stopping the training and his/her body accommodating the new lifestyle, resulting in decreased performance.

So how do you clear your mind without paying for an outrageously expensive 5 star hotel in the middle of nowhere or climbing the Alps for a week without any internet connection?

These tricks work in a combination, but also one by one, depending on how much time you can realistically set aside to get yourself back in “creative shape” within your busy schedule. Remember - 1 minute is better than nothing.

Here are my top 5 tricks to help you clear up your mind fast:

Takeaway

We trick our brain into thinking we are busy & wanting to be as lazy as possible. Don’t let your mind become a litter board hindering your creativity & productivity. Be gentle to yourself & take these extra 30 minutes to detox from the hectics of communication, data flood & city stress. Good luck, my dear you. Go get that state of flow back on!
