 |  Refreshing Breaks
What do you do in order to clear your head after a long day of studying or work? I've tried various approaches such as swimming for an hour. As I get out of the water, I notice how I haven't focused on anything other than the swimming while in the pool. That's really refreshing... A 20-40 minute power nap works well too, however, if I sleep for more than 1,5 hrs - it has the opposite effect. Meditation, one of my favorite activities. An hour on the cushion energizes me like nothing else... Guided Meditation |

Taking a 25-minute nap Working out in the garden Going for a walk (hiking in the woods is even better) Finishing a short, nagging task (The relief that comes once I'm done is refreshing.) Meditation Conversations with my Spirit Guides |

| Playing with my kid - that clears my mind of the days brain-gunk! He gives me something totally different to consider - his safety, his enjoyment, his health, our relationship. An hour after play and bathtime, I've totally forgotten what happened in the office  |

I had the worst concentration span by the time I started uni- after two months of holidays, anyway in class I slide out of focus a lot, I find posture helps concentration, regular stretching, 5minute powernap-sitting in my chair just blank my brain and sleep then keep listening afterwards I could focus and learn easier again. If it is between classes- go for a fast walk-something to get your blood pumping, join in on a muck around game like footy or handball Having a laugh can be refreshing for a break A cup of green tea works wonders for me personally |
