Mindfulness - Stretching for Cognitive Performance

from Present Moments · host Allison Jurgens of Ascending Spirit

This episode is great for a mid-day break from the computer. If you've been sitting for long periods of time, you'll likely notice a dip in energy - particularly in the afternoon. One of the best ways to support mental stamina is to get your body up and moving. No workout equipment necessary. As you elevate your heart rate, cognition improves because the blood and oxygen are circulating more freely and the brain benefits from the influx. 5 minutes later, you get a second wind and can concentrate on the task at hand.
