“I seem to get more done after I’ve had a rest.”
Many of you have probably felt this way.
In fact, some studies suggest that relaxation, by helping balance the autonomic nervous system,
may have a positive effect on attention, concentration and work efficiency.
Today, smartphones and computers
easily keep the brain processing large amounts of information,
• your thoughts won’t come together
• your focus won’t last
• your judgment slips
• your head feels heavy
which often leads to states like these.
In addition, when tension from work or relationships continues,
the sympathetic nervous system tends to dominate,
and the body can have a harder time switching into rest mode.
As a result,
“I think I’m resting, but my head never fully rests.”
many people find themselves in this state.
The brain is said to use a great deal of energy simply by processing information and making decisions.
That is why,
to maintain high performance,
it is important not only to keep going
but also to make time to recover on purpose.
At La HEAD, we work not only on the head but also on the neck, shoulders and arms,
helping release the tension you have been holding without realizing it.
Gentle stimulation of the head
has also been reported to tend to support a state in which the parasympathetic nervous system works more easily,
and many guests find themselves relaxing naturally.
After their treatment,
“My head feels clear.”
“It feels like my thoughts have been sorted out.”
“It’s easier to focus on work after the treatment.”
These are some of the comments we receive from guests.
Perhaps rest
is not for people who can’t keep going,
but time we need in order to keep moving forward in better condition.
If you spend long hours using your head,
try setting aside some time to let your thoughts rest.
