Marketers and Solopreneurs! How do you refresh your mind?

I use app called Olo. It's based on positive mind wandering and spatial audio journeys instead of concentration meditation. I've tried to learn meditation but it felt like work, and I couldn't find one hour from hectic schedule for the practice. And that's exactly why I love Olo – it was easy to get started and use use anywhere even in the middle of the work day. 5 minute audio journey honestly feels like 60 minutes of rest.

Sport, massage, youtube.

spiritual retreats with meditation, yoga, different practices without digital devices access to the internet

Long walks alone. It also helps to be creative and come up with new ideas.

Gym and League of Legends works for me.

This is a good discussion topic! One method that has always worked for me to refresh my mind is to have multiple activities that are not related to work at all. I find it very draining to read about work outside work (even though I know many peers are probably doing that). The only books I read are fiction, I actively follow football (soccer), play video games, and consume a cavalcade of TV shows. All of the above sounds hedonistic, but for creative professions like marketing, I think it's important to let your brain wander and allow it to connect neurons in a different way. I trust that playing Shovel Knight:King of Cards will end up giving me a work idea someday. Pretty long-winded way of saying...have hobbies!

I usually hit the table tennis room at my office. Playing and laughing eases my head.

Take a serious break. When you need to, ignore your startup altogether and for us on something different like outdoor activities, social life, excersize, or vacation. I always come back with a clear head after that.

As a solopreneurs, I refresh my minds by taking breaks, engaging in physical activity, practicing mindfulness, reading, spending time in nature, taking power naps, and socializing with loved ones.

I usually just take long walks and exercises

I love going for a walk. I take frequent breaks to go for a walk or a run on the treadmill.

I find spending time in nature to be very soothing. Have you tried hiking or camping? It really works. Plus, it's a great way for me to spend more quality time with my kids.

Walks and exercise 👌🏼

Great question! 😆 For me, seeing how veterans are doing on Twitter or Linkedin without thinking about it. But it's really helpful for refreshing and arranging my ideas.😁

Days off are really important. And Notion is good for a second brain, laying out all your ideas to clear your mind.

Meditation, Exercise and correct diet is the key

It's nice to work in different environments.... such as getting away for a couple of days and work mornings from a hotel/resort, etc.. or just different coffee shops, rent an office-on-demand for half a day, work by the pool, or even different rooms of where you live - just about anything. I would imagine the visual juxtaposition of neural response fires different waves of neurons through your brain which can unleash creativity. The change of scenery seems to work for me.

Regular breaks, walks, and mindfulness refresh and boost my creativity. Hobbies and exercise can also clear your mind and spark creativity!

Take rest. Rest can be different for different people. Some people: -Read -Watch YouTube -Hear Podcast -Watch Movies You can do whatever you want, but make sure that the quality of the content you are watching is excellent because to be creative, you will have to consume some great content for inspiration.
