What active steps do you take to prevent your mind from being bogged down in the daily monotony of routines?

What do you do to free your mind?

Continuously feeding your mind information doesn’t provide it an opportunity to digest and really think about all that it’s consuming.

Stepping away from daily life activities for just a few minutes a day can provide your mind a brief burst of fresh air that it can use to reset and refresh itself. One of the best ways to free your mind is to build some slack in to your schedule. Actively scheduling slack or downtime in to your schedule doesn’t mean you have to step away for hours or days, a few planned minutes a day can do wonders for your creativity and enthusiasm.

Meditation is a great tool for relaxing and freeing your mind, but if it’s not for you then you can do a simple short breathing exercise, doodle, take a short nap, or even just look out of a window for a few minutes. You can choose to do whatever technique suits you best to give your mind just a little relaxation.

If you’re familiar with history then you’ve probably heard that many of the greatest eureka moments didn’t occur while engaged and engrossed in consuming information, they occurred when the individual stepped away and freed their mind. So schedule some time to free your mind, who knows, you might have your own eureka moment too.
