Let Your Mind Wander – It’s Good for You

 Let Your Mind Wander – It’s Good for You

This article beautifully reminds us that allowing the mind to drift - especially in natural surroundings - helps restore focus, attention, and creativity.
(Economic Times dtd. 11th Aug 2025)

Science calls it attention restoration, time in nature helping the brain recover from the strain of constant focus.

But what if you’re in the middle of a concrete jungle?

I used to get frustrated whenever I couldn’t escape to natural surroundings to relieve my tension. That changed when I discovered TYME.

In my 11+ years of practicing TYME - Tree Yoga & Meditation (Zhan Zhuang), I have learned this:

You don’t always have to seek out forests or mountains to feel nature’s healing effect.

We often forget - we humans are nature too.

When we assume a TYME posture, the mind naturally begins to wander through the body, noticing sensations. With a little guidance, it learns not to chase the cause or meaning of those sensations.

That’s where the magic happens - healing, rejuvenation, and a fresh flow of ideas.
It’s also where many of my self-awareness insights are born, the ones I share with people and on social media.

Whether you are surrounded by towering trees or tall buildings, you can still gift your brain the pause it craves.

Your mind will thank you - and so will your creativity.

✅   Engaged employees → Sustainable growth

The secret to keeping both top and bottom lines on the growth line is;

Ice cream.

Cold water.

Fruit juices straight from the fridge.

Not to mention fizzy drinks.

They feel refreshing, especially on a hot day or after a long meeting.

But here's the hidden cost...

Your gut, often called your "second brain", goes dull.

Cold items shock your digestive system.

They reduce enzyme activity.

They restrict blood flow to the stomach lining.

And they slow down the “digestive fire” that keeps you sharp, clear, and energized.

The result?

Sluggish mind

Brain fog

Midday energy crash

Poor digestion, even when you eat healthy

And hence Monday blues!

I have seen this especially with professionals, where time is tight, stress is high, and chilled food becomes a quick fix. But it’s also a quiet drain on clarity and calmness.

✅   A simple switch:

Choose room temperature water.

Enjoy fruits fresh, not cold.

Sip warm herbal teas instead of carbonated drinks.

Because when your gut is warm and calm,

👉 Your mind is clear

👉 Your presence is strong

👉 Your decisions are better

It’s not about restriction.

It’s about alignment.

Small shift. Big difference.
