This seems to be a common
activity in many classrooms, but it can work in any environment. Basically a
“brain break” is roughly three minutes where you do something completely
different that energizes your brain. It’s a great way to fight off boredom, stress,
feeling tired or being over whelmed.
Things to try:
• Dance
• Meditation Break: Calm has guided or time meditations that last from 2 to 20 minutes. One of my favorites.
• Learn Something New Out of Your Comfort Zone: Research is showing that one of the most important
ways to maintain the brain is to learn something new, particularly an activity
that is out of a person’s comfort zone. Life Hacker has a fun description of
why this works, so start your learning by checking out The Science of Practice:What Happens When You learn a New Skill.
