| · | Relaxation - your mind takes a break. You can also use daydreaming to rehearse events about which you feel anxious. |
| · | Conflict management - Review in your mind an argument you had with someone, and imagine responding differently. Do this a few times and you'll find your kneejerk reactions lessening. |
| · | Relationship health - We often daydream about the people we love when we're apart. To keep a relationship happy, daydream about sharing good news and encompassing the ups and downs you experience. |
| · | Increased productivity - When you feel distracted, with work deadlines to meet, allow yourself a certain degree of time out for daydreaming. You'll be surprised how your mind will refocus when you're feeling more relaxed. |
| · | Knowing your beliefs and values - Often we create mental scenarios in which we try to convince another of our point of view. This help you get to know yourself and what you stand for. |
| · | Achieve goals - Visualise what you want often and realise many possibilities. When you daydream of success, you create intent to succeed. The thought precedes the action. |
| · | Boost your creativity - Write, paint, dance, express yourself, and capture those special moments of inspiration. Read the poem, Reborn : a daydream by Cathy Brumby on a significant moment of awakening. |
