daydreaming tends to get a bad rap in our
culture, but there's a lot of potential to it.
"Daydreaming is looked upon negatively
because it represents 'non-doing' in a society
that emphasizes productivity," says John McGrail,
a clinical hypnotherapist in Los Angeles. "We
are under constant pressure to do, achieve,
produce, succeed."
But daydreaming can be beneficial in many
ways and, ironically, can actually boost
productivity.
According to the article, daydreaming helps
you:
- Relax
- Manage conflict
- Maintain relationships
- Boost productivity
- Cement values and beliefs
- Boost creativity and achieve goals
- Relieve boredom
So when was the last time you really opened
your door to your daydreams?
