Brain hygiene
You have just come out of a long meeting or a day behind your screen and you can no longer focus your attention on the next task. In this in-company Brain hygiene session, you learn to reset your brain with short, active techniques. The training takes 1 half-day, a half day, for 6 to 12 participants, in Dutch or English.
Do you recognise this?
It is a quarter to four and you have just come out of a three-hour meeting. You sit in front of your screen, the next task is waiting, and you read the same sentence for the third time. Time for another coffee then.
You know your head is full, but you do not know how to clear it. So you drag yourself through the rest of the day, and you take the tiredness home with you.
After heavy mental, emotional or physical effort, things often get stuck:
- you have just come out of a long meeting, conference call or training and can no longer concentrate;
- you feel lethargic after intensive work on the computer;
- coffee or an energy snack only helps for a moment;
- stress and tiredness also creep into your free time.
That is a typical and common phenomenon. The good news: you can learn to manage your own state.
Why does your head stay so full after a heavy day?
A brain that keeps going without a real break gets tired in a way that coffee does not solve. You work slower, you make more mistakes and you have less patience for your colleague or at home. That costs energy you would rather put somewhere else.
It also creeps into your free time. You sit at the table, but your head is still in the meeting, and really relaxing is no longer possible. The working day is over, but it does not feel like it yet.
It does not have to stay this way. You can learn to steer your own state, with small habits that take little time.
How do you reset your brain between two tasks?
Resetting your brain is a skill, not a matter of willpower. Movement, breath and a few minutes of silence work directly on your nervous system, and you can learn to use them when you need them.
Our coaches know that tiredness after a long working day, and they know which short exercises really help. In this active session, you learn specific brain gym techniques, which you do alone or with a partner.
You practise them immediately, until you know which ones work for you. This way you take them into your working day and you can start afresh between two tasks.
What you can do after the training
After the training you can:
- apply movement techniques that you easily do alone or with a partner;
- understand how certain postures and actions activate your nervous system;
- use an empowering mindset;
- develop new patterns to be more stress resistant, at home and at work;
- do short and powerful breathing and meditation exercises to reset your brain.
