Good Lifestyle

You are sitting at a meeting, listening to your boss drone on something you already know in front of a miniature ficus. You start looking at the little potted plant, and before knowing it, you are on an island in the Maldives, serves a glittering glass of rum and coke, the Seabreeze gently stroking your skin in the sun. A group of Australian guys plays nearby volleyball and invites you to reach you. You say, "Of course, why not?" And soon, you plan a trip with them to dive on the coast of Singapore and, who knows, maybe ...Why, Mr. Franklin, I have these annual reports here.

We all do some reveraming, but too much may seem an embarrassing indulgence, a sign of laziness, an inability to focus on reality, a dangerous form of procrastination and a propensity to escape a world that has no merit. tangible. In brief: a loss of total time.

But a new study named "Functional connectivity inside and between intrinsic brain networks is correlated with the Mind Terrar Treaty, "Posted in the newspaperNeuropsychology, suggests that, in fact, reverie might not be such a bad thing. In fact, it can actually be good for you and a sign that you are smarter and more creative than your live peers in the moment.

Georgia Institute of Technology Associate Psychology ProfessorEric Schumacher and cognition and cerebral science pH.D. studentChristine godwin, who co-wrote the study, asked 100 participants to focus on a stationary fixing point for five minutes while being lying in an MRI machine. They used this data to measure how the brain models concern various cognitive capabilities when you are awake in rest and, associated with a reverie questionnaire that has been filled by the participants, found that those who have Reported more frequently dreamy have been marked more highly intellectual and creative capacity and had more effective cerebral systems measured in the MRI machine.

"People tend to think of the wandering spirit like something that is bad. You are trying to pay attention and you can not," Schumacher said. "Our data is compatible with the idea that it is not always true. Some people have more efficient brains."

It makes sense. As Schumacher noted, "people with effective brains can have too brain brain ability to prevent their spirit from wandering." When there was no thing to rivet enough to captivate your ingenious brain, it will come with other things to do, like a prolific tip.

All reveries are not good, though. Apparently, the difference between being a creative genius and saying, a spatial cadet, lies with the possibility of dissipating and dreaming during unnecessary distractions, then to relax in a transparent way in the task by hand when you are invited.

"Our conclusions remind me of the absent teacher of mind - someone who is brilliant, but of his own world, sometimes unconscious of their own environment," Schumacher said. "Or schoolchildren too intellectually advanced for their classes. Although it can take five minutes for their friends to learn something new, they discover it in a minute, then discover and start however dreaming."

So there is your next TESMUS test the next time you are a boring date or a daddy lunch.
