CUSTOMISED PUZZLES

Are you struggling to keep your focus and concentration levels up because of lockdown fatigue?

Sick of Netflix? Finished your favourite book? How can you gently pass sometime time away doing something mentally stimulating yet relaxing?

We’re now creating customised puzzles to help get through this Lockdown boredom funk! What do you think guys? Would love to hear your thoughts....

10 BENEFITS OF PUZZLES

1. Mental exercise
Doing puzzles exercises both the right and left sides. It’s considered a complete brain exercise. The right is in charge of creativity, emotions and intuitive thinking; and the left is the logical, objective and methodical side.
When you do a puzzle both sides must communicate and work together, increasing cognitive function. The occipital lobe is the area where the brain connects colors and shapes and it is also activated. Exercising the mind helps prevent cognitive decline.

2. Better Visual-Spatial Reasoning
To assemble a puzzle we see different pieces and we must place them within a larger image. Doing this exercise regularly helps us improve our spatial reasoning.

3. Greater Attention to Detail
When solving a puzzle, especially if the pieces are very similar, it is crucial to pay attention to details. You need to train your eyes to find the small differences in colors or shapes that will help you complete the image. The ability to capture small details can help us in all aspects of our lives, especially at work. When we are more detailed and precise, the quality of work improves.

4. Improve memory
Strengthens neural connections and increases the generation of new connections. This increases mental speed and thought processes. When we pick up a piece, you have to search among the others for a color or shape that you have in mind and visualize the image on a large scale to see which pieces go together.
When you exercise the part of the brain in charge of storing this information helps to maintain and improve short-term memory.

5. Increase your IQ
Researchers from the University of Michigan, led by Dr. Susanne Jäggi, found that spending 25 minutes a day solving puzzles and riddles can raise your IQ by 4 points.

6. Improve problem solving ability
To solve the puzzles you take different approaches to try to solve a problem, since it is a trial and error test. You also learn the value of formulating theories, testing hypotheses, and changing your perspectives when something doesn't go as planned.
These skills can be transferred to work, making you more innovativing in problem solving, more critical thinking, and better adaptive skills.

7. Increased productivity
When you are happier and less stressed, it is easier to focus. When your concentration improves, your productivity skyrockets.

8. Better mood
Solving puzzles has a great benefit, it increases brain production of dopamine. This neurotransmitter is responsible for regulating mood and optimism. It also affects learning, memory, concentration, and motivation. Dopamine is released every time we do a puzzle and even every time we put a piece in the right place. This encourages us to continue to do so and challenge ourselves.

9. Decrease stress levels
In addition to challenging us, it also helps us relax. Our brains go from "Beta" or awake, to a state of "Alpha" when you are assembling puzzles. The Alpha state is similar to the state we are in when we are dreaming.

10. A shift in Alpha consciousness comes with many benefits, including:

Ability to make deeper connections
Improve our mood
Increase our self-confidence
Relieves stress
Even lower your blood pressure and heart rate

How you doing Vegan Curlies? Sending you all love during this difficult time.

So it’s day 1 of another Lockdown. Want to try something to keep yourself upbeat, motivated during this difficult time?

We’re starting a mother and daughter pamper challenge for self care. Each day we shall pamper ourselves and give our mind and body a bit of a love because it’s damn important!! Today it begins with a natural foot soak.

Ingredients I used today is pretty simple. Just chopped up some ginger, lemon and add some lemon grass. There’s some many good natural ingredients that you may have in your kitchen to try out.

Treating myself to a nice, relaxing foot soak when it’s raining and cold outside is so therapeutic. Gives me time to just let go, stop thinking and give thanks.

Here’s 4 health benefits of soaking your feet every now and then!

1. Warms the blood, increases circulation and your body temperature.

2. Relieves both muscle tension

3. Great mental stress relief, great mood booster

4. Reduces depression and anxiety
