If you’ve ever been stood in the shower, washing away the mundane day, and suddenly been gifted with an idea of a lifetime, it’s no coincidence. Bathrooms are prolific think tanks for one very good reason – they allow us to fully relax and unwind. In our ever hectic, stressful world, finding a place of tranquility is near impossible. The shower has a built in safe haven that allows us to destress and recharge our batteries. While you might just be running through the motions, research shows that creativity often strikes when we’re doing a monotonous task, especially when showering. Although you might call this daydreaming…
This kind of daydreaming relaxes the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s command center for decisions, goals, and behavior. It switches on the rest of your brain’s “default mode network” (DMN) clearing the pathways that connect different regions of your noggin. With your cortex loosened up and your DMN switched on, you can make new, creative connections that your conscious mind would have dismissed. This got us to thinking, what if you could pre-empt this environment, and create a way to relax and become more in-tune with you creative self all at once? Wouldn’t you feel superhuman? Enter Moxie.
