Dreaming is Good For You
It’s not just writers, artists, and musicians who benefit from expanding their imaginations. Imagination is for everyone, and science agrees with us. When you use your imagination, your neural activity increases. Your mind is essentially entering a room it hasn’t been to before. But when you use your imagination, your brain is working double time to process unfamiliar information. Discover more on enhancing your creativity by reading "3 Ways To Broaden Your Imagination". For those who love to visualize their imaginative explorations, the Beechmore Books Sketchbooks offer a premium canvas for your creativity to unfold.
Exercise Your Imagination
And it doesn’t just make you smarter, and probably more interesting, it’s actually good for your health to train those imagination muscles. A 2015 study concluded that “people who engaged in artistic activities… were 73% less likely to have memory and thinking problems, such as mild cognitive impairment, that lead to dementia.” Imagination doesn’t just benefit the young; find out how it impacts adults in "The Gift of Encouraging Creativity". To facilitate this process, consider using Beechmore Books Dotted Notebooks, perfect for mind mapping and brainstorming sessions that spark innovation.
Take Inspiration from Children
There’s a statistic that says four-year-olds ask 200-400 questions a day. By asking questions you get to know others, learn things, or even challenge your own perception. Embrace your curiosity to unlock creativity as discussed in our exploration of solitude and thought in "The Joy of Privacy", illustrating how quiet moments alone can spark innovation. Our Softcover Ruled Notebooks are designed to be your companion through every question, big or small, capturing the essence of curiosity on every page.
Stare Mindlessly Out of the Window
Niksen is the Dutch art of doing nothing. When practicing Niksen, you spend time with your own thoughts. These quiet moments are where your mind will do its best work.

Beechmore Books' Travel Planners can be a great tool for those who find inspiration while embracing the art of doing nothing, ready to jot down the ideas that float by in those tranquil moments.
