    Relax
    Our brain fires electrical waves at 14 or more
    cycles a second.
    These are beta waves and are great for getting
    tasks done, but not for learning new things.
    Taking a few minutes to relax deeply slows your
    brain waves down.
    These slower waves are alpha waves.
    They occur at between 7 and 14 cycles a second
    Studies show alpha waves improve learning.
