... by encouraging your daydreaming!
This seemed like a perfect decision to redesign my home office after all the lessons and experiences of past turbulent years – BUT there are also doubts about my personal “must-haves” like: nice new couch, big big big book shelf, adjustable desk and stool, fancy video conference equipment – if I really need all of this, expected constraints and even worse what I might be overlooking!
What about YOU? How would your ideal #homeoffice look like – if you could …
Which things would you change immediately?
Which things would you in any case try to keep?
What gadgets do you dream off?
…
This post is meant to encourage your #daydreaming, which is a perfect form of self-care to strengthen your #resilience (;->)
Because #daydreaming has powerful effects, it:
- Reduces your stress and anxiety level: Our brain cannot maintain focus nonstop, to stay productive it requires some regular periods of relaxation.
- Uses diverse parts of your brain: As your mind wanders both your brains problem-solving network as well as the creativity network are working simultaneously. Different types of short-term coaching methods such as #wingwave take advantage of this.
- Helps you to solve problems: Letting our thoughts drift can actually help us solve problems, purely focusing on them does not work.
- Expands your Creativity: When allowing your mind to wander and being distracted from narrow tracks, it reorganizes all tidbits of information and forms new unexpected connections.
- Supports you to reach goals: Daydreaming about real-life goals invites you to think through different tracks you could take, ways to stay motivated and how to overcome obstacles.
