Organize brain running.......

While I have breath in my body and life in my soul, I love my dedication to living life to the fullest and part of this puzzle I do that by running.
Running is the ultimate power vacation—no phones, no kids. But all's not quiet in the brain while pounding the pavement. In fact, I’m performing mind acrobatics: problem-solving, making a to-do list, even drifting to a calm state. "Running gives me the freedom to access those inner processes that the busy outer world often robs me of." This is when I do my best thinking & have the most concentration.  If you’re not much of a runner, start with walking being goal oriented of running in the near future. For me, I’ve actually noticed my brain is more focused when running over walking. I suppose picking up the momentum, it almost becomes like I’m in a tunnel. In this tunnel, I am able to be alone with my thoughts as to where walking I can’t seem to get this.

Running has a way of untying some huge brain knots and I have many. Because I'm stepping out of my task-oriented days during a run, I'm subconsciously turning off creativity-killers like distractions and rationalization. Add in feel-good brain chemicals triggered by running, and my brain is at its best. So why not take up running?
I am a go go go kind of gal, something I don't think I'd be able to do if I did not give my brain the alone time it's needs to focus on what I really want and need out of life in order to live my life too to the fullest in a blissful manner. Ever notice it's hard to follow through with things in life if your brain is too tired to think out the next step and instead you end up on the couch or locked up in your house? So the best way to follow through & live your life, do the things you want, start with your brain and organize those thoughts....you'll be amazed at what a difference it truly makes.
