Reboot Concussion Recovery

Cognitive-Physical Pacing Strategy focuses on balance energy demands allowing for aspects of your brain or body to rest while working in the opposite domain.

Sometimes your mind needs a break but your body is itching to move after being on a computer for an extended period of time.

Sometimes your best work may come after exercise when your brain feels clear.

Alternating between physical and cognitive tasks helps to balance the demands of your day without completely draining your energy.

The trick with implementing this strategy is to take a short break to transition from one domain to the other.

These transition tasks can be:
Diaphragmatic breathing
Voo Breath
Butterfly hug
Light rhythmic movement
Deep breath or sigh

Find a transition that works for you!

My schedule example looks like a lot but that included scheduled down time. Balancing computer work, patient care and mini brain breaks helps me stay on task, have clarity with cognitive work and maintain energy for a full day.
