Exploding Calm

There’s something you can do over the next week to reboot your brain – and it’s fun...

One of the most enjoyable and effective ways at reducing stress is about to explode – in the sky. Watching fireworks can do wonders for our state of mind. That’s because it gives us about 30 minutes of doing nothing – but watching. Our neurons are stimulated by the colors and noise and taking in those sights and sounds can help our brains reboot because watching fireworks requires zero thought.

The surge of patriotism and pride also boost overall mood and make us feel a bit more connected with everyone around us. Go ahead and let out a few oohs and ahhs while you’re at it. Making those sounds compound the pleasure.
