Cognitive Rest

Cognitive rest refers to the intentional reduction of mental activities to help the brain recover and rejuvenate. Just as our bodies need physical rest after exertion, our minds require breaks to function optimally. This can involve stepping away from challenging tasks, reducing screen time, or engaging in relaxation techniques. Cognitive rest helps improve focus, memory, and overall mental clarity, particularly after periods of intense thinking or stress. By allowing the brain to rest, we enable better processing and retention of information, enhancing our general knowledge and cognitive performance.
