Incorporate movement into your day from "summary" of Find Your Focus Zone by Lucy Jo Palladino
To keep your brain functioning optimally, make sure to build physical activity into your day. This doesn't mean you have to spend hours at the gym or run a marathon. It can be as simple as taking short breaks to stretch and move throughout the day. Even a quick walk around the block or some jumping jacks can make a big difference in your focus and productivity.
When you incorporate movement into your day, you're not only boosting your physical health but also improving your mental well-being. Exercise has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain, which can help you think more clearly and creatively. It also releases endorphins, which are natural mood elevators that can help reduce stress and anxiety.
Sitting for long periods of time can lead to feelings of lethargy and mental fatigue. By breaking up your day with movement, you can combat these negative effects and keep your energy levels up. Whether it's a quick yoga session, a brisk walk, or a dance party in your living room, finding ways to move your body throughout the day can help you stay focused and alert.
If you're feeling stuck on a project or struggling to concentrate, taking a movement break can be just what you need to get back on track. Physical activity can help clear your mind, boost your motivation, and increase your ability to solve problems. So the next time you find yourself hitting a mental roadblock, try getting up and moving around to see if it helps you find your focus zone.
