Who needs an excuse to eat chocolate? Well no you’ve got one! Feeding your brain with a stimulant such as sugar or caffeine can give your brain the boost it needs to move into a higher gear. One company always starts their brainstorming sessions with a huge chocolate cake shared between participants to do just that.
You might think such a suggestion will pile on the pounds, however another very simple and effective way of stimulating the brain is to move when you are thinking. Exercise increases the amount of oxygen in the blood stream and pumps blood around your body and most importantly to your brains faster.
It doesn’t have to be strenuous exercise – why not try having ameeting whilst going for a walk rather than sitting around a boardroom table, or simply pace around your office whilst thinking instead of slouching in your chair. Companies in Japan are even installing treadmills for their executives to use whilst working!
