We often take for granted
that our brains are able to function in amazing ways. We also tend to
forget that this is a very important part of our bodies to really
take good care of.
One way you can treat your brain well is to
stimulate it each day before you get out of bed. It doesn’t take
long to accomplish, and it is going to help you face each new day in
a positive light.
Set your alarm for ten
minutes earlier than you have to be out of bed. This way you can
relish the time to stimulate your brain and not worry about being
late for work. Stretch each part of your body and really focus on it
when you are doing so. Wiggle your fingers and your toes too. Pay
attention to how it feels as you freely move each one of them. You
may feel silly doing these activities but they are very good for you.
As you are stimulating
your brain in the morning before you get out of bed, you are going to
stimulate the nerve endings to your brain. You are going to become
alert and look forward to your day. If you often end up sluggish in
the morning then this could be a great way to wake you up and get
your day off to a better start.
When you stimulate your
brain each morning before you get out of bed you will be safer too.
Research shows that this can help you to stay focused and to be well
balanced.
This can help reduce the risk of injuries due to falls.
Many individuals find that they are more alert on their commute to
work as well as throughout the day when they start it by stimulating
their brain.
When we are children we
tend to be very visual by nature.
We have creative fantasies and
stories that we role play all day long. However, as adults we don’t
allow ourselves to have those types of pleasures. You can turn back
the hands of time though and incorporate them into your morning
routine. Imagine yourself as a princess or a rock star before you get
out of bed in the morning. Stimulate your brain by focusing on the
vivid images of what would unfold in your life.
Try to incorporate all of
our senses into those images as well. What did it feel like? What did
it smell like? What were you saying and what was being said back to
you? How did food taste? The more of these senses that you can pull
into your imaginative stories the more stimulated your brain will
become. These stories should put a nice smile on your face to begin
the day with as well.
Have some classical music
by your bed that you can easily turn on without getting up in the
morning. Focus on listening to the sound of it for about 10 minutes.
Doing so is going to open up your mind to many things. Identify the
flow of the music as well as what will come next. As you become more
familiar with the music it is going to be easier to end up thinking
about something else as you listen to it. Don’t let that happen
though – make a conscious effort to focus all of your attention on
only the music for that span of time.
Some people would prefer to engage in
such a process before bed to help them unwind. While that can be
helpful and it can help you to get a good night of sleep, too many
people rush through the process in order to get it done at night.
Others fall asleep before they are able to complete it. So the best
rule of thumb if you want to really stimulate your brain is to take
part in such activities first thing in the morning.
