Alpha Brain Break

Your brain can do only so much hard work before it gets tired and starts losing efficiency. When your brain is fatigued, no matter what you are doing, you are not going to be doing it as well as you would if your brain were clear, sharp, and relaxed. A fatigued brain is foggy, forgetful, confused, and spaced-out. When your brain is overwrought, overtired, or burned out, you feel drained, irritable, and inefficient. You no longer have the brain energy you need to stay sharp, alert, and active. But, as you already know, your mind has no problem overworking your brain. And, since your brain is a very stoic organ, it tries to keep functioning, no matter what. After all, when your brain stops working so do you. So what is a brain to do? Get a little "R&R" – that’s what!

In the same way that timeout can be a lifesaver for a child that is reeling from too much stimulation; an Alpha Brain Break is restorative and regenerative to your very deserving brain. But, isn't that what sleeping is all about - rest and recuperation? Not for your brain. Remember, your brain continues to work, even while you are asleep. An Alpha Brain Break is something you do while you are awake. It requires only your conscious choice.

Stress is death to your brain cells. Neuro-relaxation begins with stress management and ends with a brain break - a temporary, but complete cessation of automatic and reactionary thinking that can restore your mind's full capacity and natural brilliance in just five to 10 minutes. Stress management is critically important to your brain. Listen to the audio below to learn the techniques you need to meet your brain's third essential need - stress release and relaxation.
