There are days when it feels like your body arrives home before your mind does. You walk through the door, put down your bag, and begin moving through the familiar routines of home, yet your thoughts are still somewhere else, replaying a conversation, thinking about something you wish you'd said differently, running through tomorrow before today has even finished, or trying to remember the one thing you mustn't forget.

At times like these, we may want a busy mind to feel less overwhelmed. But that's not all we need from our minds at home. There are moments when we need to concentrate on something that deserves our full attention, work through a difficult decision, or give an idea enough space to develop. At other times, what we need is something mentally invigorating, giving the mind a lift when we're feeling mentally sluggish.
