“Knowing when and how to disconnect is a skill that makes a difference in your well -being and your long -term performance”

We live in an accelerated, hyperstimulated, addicted notifications. The constant connection with the outside has generated an increasing disconnection with ourselves. The mind does not rest, the dream is fragmented, anxiety is normalized and the nervous system remains in an almost chronic alert state. The price of always being “online” is much higher than we imagine.

The neuroscientific Ana Ibáñez has carried out an intervention in the PEPE García El Stoic podcast, in which he has offered the best tips that will help us recharge our mental energy.

Ana Ibáñez, neuroscientific, about emotional well -being: “If you are touched emotionally, your brain begins to turn off a lot of things”

“It is essential that our brain have moments of disconnection”

Train your mind to stop. Not everything in the day must be productivity; It allows moments where the only objective is to rest: “It is essential that our brain have moments of disconnection,” he begins.

Create demand -free spaces:. Do activities that do not look for a result and learn to enjoy them without guilt: “Real disconnection for the brain is to do things that do not have a defined objective,” says Ana Ibáñez.

Gives value to the unproductive. when you lower your rhythm, you teach your brain that it also deserves to be careful: “Being unproductive is an uncomfortable feeling in this 21st century. These moments of disconnection are guilty pleasures. For your brain what is of vital importance is that you introduce in the day, at least 20 minutes of a guilty pleasure. You will have the feeling of wasting your time. That is the difference between our brain. We do not listen to it or that we are letting you rest, ”says the expert.

Reflection. Disconnect does not mean fleeing. It means reconnecting with the essential: silence, body, breathing, the little things that are lost in the midst of digital noise. It means remembering that we are not just productivity, that not everything has to be visible or shared, that resting is also building.
