    Activate Your Default Mode Network for Deep Brain Rest with Jim Kwik

    How can you rest your brain throughout the day to keep it functioning at its best? When thinking about ways to rest your body and mind, you probably think of things like sleep, meditation, breathwork, stretching, or other forms of relaxation. And while those are all incredibly valuable resources, there is one other type of cognitive rest that you already practice unconsciously. I’m excited to dive deep on this topic in today’s episode. Throughout the day, you naturally rest your brain whenever you zone out. You’re activating your default mode network and there are tremendous advantages to giving your brain this type of restorative downtime. When you’re not actively engaged in a task that requires a lot of attention, your brain switches to the default mode network. This means your brain is no longer utilizing energy for conscious tasks, allowing it to rest and recover. Listen in as I explain how you can activate your default mode network throughout your day to stay sharp all day long. / / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / / Choose your own adventure.
