While I was at ASTD last week, one of the seminars I attended was by Andre Vermulen, an international consultant from South Africa. The topic was the application of whole brain integration principles into activate the brain. The workshop was full of exercises.
Here is a fairly simple one to relieve visual fatigue and speed up the brain's information processing.
Draw a figure 8 on a piece of paper (about 8 1/2 x 11 size paper). Hold a pencil/pen on the line of the figure. Trace the figure 8 five times with one hand, then hold the pencil with the other hand and repeat five more time, then hold the pencil with both hands and repeat five more times.
Simple? Yes, but effective. Try it after you have been sitting at a computer for a few hours!
