Would you like to know about a tool that has come naturally to you since birth and that has all of the following benefits?
1- Stimulates alertness and concentration
2- Optimizes brain activity and metabolism
3- Improves cognitive function
4- Increases memory recall
5- Enhances consciousness and introspection
6- Lowers stress
7- Relaxes every part of your body
8- Improves voluntary muscle control
9- Enhances athletic skills
10- Fine-tunes your sense of time
11- Increases empathy and social awareness
12- Enhances pleasure and sensuality.
According to neuroscientific researchers and authors Andrew Newborn, MD, and Mark Robert Waldman, that tool is yawning. They could hardly make a stronger case for yawning's being one of the best things you can do for your brain! I strongly recommend checking out their article here: Yawn!
An article in Psychology Today refers to the same research and offers some ways to practice "deep yawning." It's hard to see what there is to lose in giving this a try!
If there is any way I can be of help in this challenging time, please let me know. If there is a topic you'd like to see addressed in a newsletter, I'll do my best to address it. Also, if you have not had a chance to schedule a free half-hour of coaching with me, the offer is still open. I'd love to hear from you and connect.
Stay safe and well,
Linda
