what do you do when your brain gets stuck and won't work any more??

December 7, 2016 9:17am CST
When ever my brain stops working properly I take a break from regular things and start trying out things which ever catch my attentions starting from reading a new genre of novel to experimenting with cooking ...... I try to divert my mind from the problem that's irritating me for a period of time....and when I feel like I am all ready to handle it..... then I go back to where I left it and start working on it..... By doing so I always find a new solution which is more effective after taking a break...and I wonder why I was unable to think about it before....But what ever..... taking break when I feel over pressurized will help me alot ..... whats your ways to release the pressure and stress????

Music is my go-to stress-releaser. Listening to music can invigorate or sedate me.
