It seems the greatest life hack we have for improving brain function, is giving it a\u00a0much-needed\u00a0break. As a productivity-focused society, we often want to be more efficient and focused. All anyone wants is to get more done, but the science has come back to let us know\u00a0that in actuality, it\u2019s\u00a0our\u00a0rest states\u00a0that boost creativity and mental output.<\/p>\n<p>When we are focused, the dorsal attention network, or DAT, is what\u2019s actively firing away. When the mind wanders and we are awake but not necessarily focused, we slide into the DMN, or default mode network, and a ton of brain activity occurs there, too \u2014 like most of our processing, daydreaming, etc. Our brain functions best when it has the space to oscillate between these two states (which it does via the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/neurosciencenews.com\/networks-consciousness-15897\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">temporal circuit<\/a>)\u00a0so\u00a0if you\u2019ve ever felt bad for getting distracted in the middle of number crunching, coding, or planning and feel guilty about it, you may be comforted to learn your brain was designed to work that way.<\/p>\n<p>Not all distractions are created equal. There are ways to\u00a0get in your\u00a0rest and distraction in\u00a0ways\u00a0that nourish\u00a0your mind and body better than say, binge watching stand-up comedy clips on YouTube or scrolling through Instagram. Our mind needs flexibility and freedom from screens and certain stimuli to truly tap into\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/1745691612447308\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">essential downtime<\/a>.\u00a0Here are a few ways to tune in and drop out of your mental mind games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take a specific nap\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To get a several-hour-long energy boost,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/21075238\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5-15 minutes will suffice<\/a>.\u00a0Any more\u00a0and you risk getting into\u00a0a\u00a0groggy zone because the brain will\u00a0begin\u00a0a sleep cycle. If you want something deeper, like a\u00a0high-performance\u00a0creative boost,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2700890\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">REM is required<\/a>,\u00a0so\u00a0a solid 90 minutes will be necessary. That\u2019s enough to dream and move into wakefulness before the next cycle starts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Go for a walk \u2026 but let loose\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Giving your brain time to unravel while the body moves can boost creativity\u00a0and productivity\u00a0for most (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/24749966\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">and increase test scores for some<\/a>). If you can get outdoors,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/21291246\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the effects<\/a>\u00a0increase,\u00a0so think outside the box if you don\u2019t have immediate access to nature. Maybe there\u2019s a rooftop or park you can frequent. It\u2019s important to allow yourself to wander and observe what might delight you instead of going out with the goal of solving a problem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make some art\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whatever you like \u2014 painting, music, writing, dance \u2014\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2804629\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it\u2019s all got benefits<\/a>! Art can help us express things we don\u2019t have the language for. There\u2019s a deeper subconscious mode of expression you can tap into without having to think in a\u00a0focus talking\u00a0way. Through dance, you can let your body do the talking and processing. Journaling can help get thoughts and feelings down that may be crowding the mind. Music \u2014 both making it and listening to it \u2014 also has profound effects on healing, relaxation and mood. Beyond providing a venue to express yourself and allowing the DAT space to play, art therapy has been proven to shorten hospital stays and help patients with chronic fatigue. If you need a break to brighten your day, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/health\/news\/11403404\/Art-does-heal-scientists-say-appreciating-creative-works-can-fight-off-disease.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">even boost your immune system<\/a>, try making, listening to, or gazing upon something beautiful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Switch up your meditation style (or start meditating)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been meditating with fixed attention (or not meditating at all), open-monitoring meditation (OMM) might be an interesting way to switch things up in your neurons. Instead of keeping the brain active, OMM encourages awareness of whatever comes to us internally or externally.\u00a0So\u00a0you could work with feelings or sensations inside your body like where you\u2019re holding tension, flutters in your stomach, and relaxing muscles. Or you could stay open to the world around you\u00a0by\u00a0noticing\u00a0a breeze, sounds, or sources of the like that may affect even closed eyes. This is best for amplifying creating states and is closely related to vipassana meditation.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, focused attention meditation\u00a0requires the mind to stay sharp as a razor on a\u00a0particular point\u00a0of focus. One of my favorites includes watching the flame of a candle, but you can also use the sensation of breath or counting breath. This improves attention and discipline. That\u2019s great, but if you\u2019re trying to tap into DMN,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bernhard-hommel.eu\/Meditation%20and%20creativity%202.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OM meditation is your best bet<\/a>. It\u2019s typically easier to see benefits for beginners and allows the mind to\u00a0ungrip, without the emphasis on focus.<\/p>\n<p>Many meditation practices like mindfulness, body scans, and loving kindness include combinations and play with the natural variance our mind likes to pop through \u2014 so be sure to try a few out to see what creates the best playground in your mind.\u00a0Headspace and Calm are great places to start\u00a0to explore these types of meditation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dream a little daydream\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If meditation isn\u2019t right for you, there are other ways to let the mind rest without\u00a0setting specific rest time to do so. Whether you\u2019re\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/22941876\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">distracted<\/a>\u00a0by a thought or simply allowing\u00a0the mind to wander, daydreaming has massive benefits for the psyche. After periods of focus, allowing thoughts to pop up\u00a0can inspire creative problem-solving and new ideas.
