Measuring and training the imagination is central to our work. While we help people break through mental walls and achieve their goal, there are many significant health benefits that come from the time dedicated to enhancing your ability to imagine. 

Here are five reasons make time for your imagination :

1. Reducing stress and anxiety: Engaging in imaginative activities, such as reading, writing, drawing, or daydreaming, can help us to relax and reduce stress levels. When we focus our minds on creative tasks, we can escape from our worries and anxieties and experience a sense of calm.

2.  Boosting creativity: Being imaginative can help us to tap into our creativity and come up with new ideas and solutions. When we allow our minds to wander and explore new possibilities, we can break free from conventional thinking and generate novel approaches to problems.

3. Increasing resilience: Being imaginative can also help us to develop a more positive mindset and increase our resilience. When we engage in imaginative activities, we can build up our mental strength and develop the ability to see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning.

4. Enhancing empathy and understanding: Being imaginative can also help us to develop greater empathy and understanding for others. When we use our imagination to put ourselves in someone else's shoes, we can gain a deeper appreciation for their experiences and perspectives.

5. Improving mental agility: Being imaginative can help us to stay mentally sharp and agile. When we engage in imaginative activities, we challenge our brains to think in new and different ways, which can help to improve cognitive function and memory retention.

It takes just a few minutes a day to boost your imagination which can have a positive impact on your health and sense of wellbeing. By reducing stress and anxiety, boosting creativity, increasing resilience, enhancing empathy and understanding, and improving mental agility, being imaginative can help us to lead more satisfying and playful lives.
