No More Negative (Beta) Waves Man!

If you have never watched it before you should watch “Kelly’s Heroes”.  Classic film with Clint Eastwood, Donald Sutherland, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles and more.

A star studded cast and my favorite part is Donald Sutherland as Oddball.

Now for you kids you might remember Donald Sutherland more at the President of Panem, President Snow from “The Hunger Games”.

All that to say Oddball will chastise you for your negative waves man.

So if you have back to back to back to back meetings…Don’t go!  It means less negative waves man.

According to a new study from Microsoft’s Human Factors Lab…Back-to-back meetings without breaks cause a measurable buildup in the brain of stress-related beta waves.

When Microsoft measured brain activity in 14 workers during four back-to-back meetings, the introduction of quick breaks with a downtime activity like meditation resulted in fewer (Negative) beta waves.
