Daydreaming and Why It's Good For You

Daydreams come from the right side of the brain.  The feminine

and creative side.  When I was a young girl in school I was often

so bored with the lessons that my mind would wander off in all

directions.  Of course I was always called back into reality by my

teacher.  How often had you heard someone say ~

"stop daydreaming"?  It's often considered to be a waste of time

or the behavior of a lazy person.  In truth, there are some very 

good reasons to daydream.

The left side of the brain controls the concrete solutions.  It is

the side we use when we need to go over the budget or complete

a math problem.  The right side of the brain is the creative side.

It's the side we use when we creatively find ways to stretch

that budget.  I have read that daydreaming is a way for us to 

harness our imagination to find positive solutions to our 

problems.  Daydreaming allows us to safely travel between our

past memories and the future and to figure out ways to create

positive outcomes.  

  

Scientists have studied the works of both Newton and Einstein.

They have discovered that both of these men had some of their most

important discoveries when they allowed themselves to 

daydream.  You may not be looking to find the answer to a

scientific question yet you can use a daydream to relax,

to improve a relationship or boost productivity just by allowing

your mind to wander a bit. 

So go ahead and feel free to put your feet up and enjoy a good

daydream.  After all ~ it's the feminine thing to do!
