Julie here – In case you missed it, we’re playing a Brain Game where you learn a different brain healthy exercise each week. To make sure you get all 5 steps in the game add my email drjuliefratantoni@substack.com to your contacts.

Next time you’re waiting in line: do nothing.

Just stand there.

In between meetings: don’t check your phone.

Sit in silence.

Let people think you’re a complete weirdo.

These small margins are important opportunities for your brain to rest, recharge, and consolidate information.

We’ve lost the ability to be bored, and with it, the space your brain needs to stay healthy.

Today I’m sharing brain exercise #2 in the (Better) Brain Game.

If you want concise, actionable neuroscience delivered in under 1 minute, subscribe to Better Brain.
