Well, after the driest November for 100 years the rain finally came, and how! Thunder, lightning and all the trimmings. Sitting here with my Capp’ and looking out at the grey gloom it’s oddly calming and somehow ‘warming’ as the pit-pattering rain gently washes the pavements clean and signals, perhaps, the onset of winter. What is it about falling rain that mesmerises the onlooker into a soothing daydream unlike any other? Getting lost in the moment of just ‘being,’ without thinking of anything in particular is the most relaxing moment in your day. This is no coincidence and it is well documented that it is actually a healthy thing to do, whenever it may occur; let the day dream run its course-don’t fight it. This is probably worth a bit of research to confirm the benefits.
Search- ‘Daydreaming is good for you’
Research has shown the following findings:
1. When we daydream, the more complex part of the brain is subconsciously activated causing the problem solving and idea making departments to become supercharged so that although it seems as though you are doing nothing, your good friend, sub consciousness, is busy solving all your problems.
2. Trying to solve problems and sitting there scratching your head can just increase the block on your progression. Taking a break from it and forgetting about the problem can actually help to solve it. Daydreaming takes you away from your problems on a conscious level whilst laying them at the door of your ‘inner’ brain.
3. Also daydreaming can relieve stress momentarily which in turn makes you happier; obviously this is good for your health. However, experts agree that too much daydreaming can be a problem and it is important not to lose touch with the present day!
So next time that you find yourself daydreaming, just let yourself go...be happy, it’s doing you the world of good.
