REALAGE TIP

The New Mental Pick-Me-Up

Mentally challenging tasks require you to be "on." When your brain is stuck on "off," here's what to do:

Skip the trip to the local java joint. Just get moving instead. Walk, run, skip, skate, jump rope, or dance a jig for 30 minutes. The benefits: You'll think more quickly and experience less frustration when you return to your work.

Double-shot espressos aside, there's nothing like a little cha-cha-cha to get your brain going rah-rah-rah!

I walk once a day for the body and once a day for the mind. Each walk is atleast 15 mins. long. I walk off stress, walk for happiness, look at nature, walk to get away from it all, walk to meditate-for every reason there is a walk and I really feel so much better afterwards.
