Try a creative or artistic pursuit you did as a child, or try something you’ ve always wanted to do but never took the time for;( e. g. piano lessons, salsa dancing, water color painting), and notice how it makes you feel. Many people when they engage in a creative pursuit feel relaxed, like a child at play, and it takes their mind off work. After engaging in an artistic pursuit, you often are more productive, and more focused.
Key # 3 – Consciously Create Right and Left Brain / Body Balance
The cultures of India and China have recognized the importance of a balanced life for thousands of years.
Several proven strategies to help you to create right and left brain / body balance are: 1) Grounding; and 2) Unplugging from technology.
At the beginning of each day, and before an important meeting or event, find a quiet space, close your eyes and imagine there are branches growing out of the bottom of your feet going deep down into the earth. Imagine the beautiful mother earth energy coming up through those roots, through the bottom of your feet, through your body and coming to rest in your heart. Now imagine you have branches coming out of the top of your head, growing high up to the sky and tapping into the universal, source, heavenly energy( whatever you choose to call it). Imagine warm, loving energy coming down through those branches, through the top of your head and coming to rest in your heart. Imagine being supported by both the sky and the earth.
Try unplugging from technology 90 minutes before you retire at night. You will likely experience a deeper and more restful sleep.
