By briefly shifting from your current thoughts and thought processes, you allow your brain to attack your problems in different and creative ways. We call this “Cross Train your Brain”.
Let’s face it, taking your mind off of your normal thoughts (including your fears, stresses, anxieties, planning, worrying, regrets, etc.) is a great way to disengage mentally (in other words to take a break) and to flex your brain in a way that you normally may not. It may be a logic problem, a math problem, a science problem or a simple riddle. in any case, it will get your brain working in a different way than normal…and, who knows, you just may have a little fun in the process.
This puzzle may be very easy for you to solve, or very hard. If the answer does not come immediately, we would like to encourage you to not give up too quickly. Don’t rush to view the answer, but really ponder the question. Approach the problem from different angles. Try to think in an unconventional way (i.e. “outside the box”).
Now, flex that brain!
