All of us experience stress in our workplace and personal lives from time to time, and often this ends up exhausting us. Research shows daydreaming is an excellent method of getting away from stress-induced anxiety and exhaustion and restoring us to a state of happy equilibrium.
A Harvard University health blog authored by Srini Pillay, a psychiatrist and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, points out that letting your mind wander away into nice things, far away from perceived threats, can lift you out of any negative spirals that you may have got into. And then, when you come back into your current reality, you can focus on your work much better because your mind is now feeling far more relaxed and positive. So, if you are experiencing anxiety, if a project is not going well or a meeting has been particularly difficult, try a little daydreaming so that you can return refreshed to tackle the tough issues.
