Me, Myself, My Brain, and I
-
Hi! I have just started a new job. Loads of fun challenges and no more telecom BS ever. :) :beer: But that aint my question here. I am sure many of you have been hit by this: The amount of information I need to digest is ok, but the whole plethora of problems is fun but overwhelming. When I leave for the day it is hard to switch my brain to not thinking about the problems (technical and organizational). But even worse,I usually wake up hours before dawn and my brain is totally racing at 200 mph. It is quite impossble to break that train of thought. I try to think of other things, music I really like, or places I like, or kid-sister-unsafe things I like but nope. That express train ofproblems (such as this one of mine: clickety) keeps comming back. This morning I finally began doing Rubik's Cube excercises in my head that almost worked but... I wonder what you people do to unload such thoughs from your heads. Cheerz Adam

Hi Megadaam, For me cardio-vascular exercise where I get my heart beat up into at least the lower-end aerobic training zone (that zone will vary with your age, weight, fitness level) for at least twenty minutes is a great "mental purgative." Bicycling, jogging, treadmill, swimming, raquetball, whatever you can do to reach the aerobic threshold of intensity for a minimum period of time results in scientifically validated benefits which are both physical and mental. The other thing that works for me is yoga breathing exercise (pranayama). Google on "complete breath" for some reasonable on-line descriptions. For me the breathing is very necessary prior to meditation, but may I asy that, for me, both the yoga breathing and meditation are neither "worship," "prayer," or "religion." That they may lead to increased creativity, and states of mind in which "reverence for life" is salient, is true for me, however. If you are somewhat limited physically something like Jacobson's muscular relaxation exercises may be helpful. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ei=l9f2SZPIFc6JkQXs_eHOCg&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=jacobson%27s+progressive+relaxation&spell=1[^] to your health, Bill
"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly."

I do any number of these; - I pray - go for a run - Stretching, or breathing. - Play squash or golf. - Draw or paint - Read the bible - Play with my daughter for a bit - Build a carport or fence, or something. - Paint - Implement some of the ideas racing in my head in a new language or using a new library Anything that helps change the pace of the mind or forces to think a certain way. But of course it varies wildly from person to person, but those work for me almost all the time.

I usually just get some music on - loud. Fire up Left4Dead and kill a lot of zombies. You can't think about work when there are 40 zombies trying to eat your brains. If you like to play games, then I think any fast paced game would help. It's what video games where made for!
My current favourite word is: Delicious!
