Hoop Oracle

Do you have homework or a problem to solve? The hula hoop can help. If you hit a bog in your writing or you've hit a snag in your problem solving - hoop around the problem.
Just throw one on and hoop to some music. Go for 10 minutes at any pace you like. The idea here is simply to shift your energy. Change your vibe. Stop thinking about the problem - get away. You are now having fun but what's also happening is you are stimulating your brain, specifically the Hippocampus. More electricity to the brain - new blood.
Now you can go back to your desk with possibly a fresh approach because you've stopped travelling down a particular neurological pathway that has become somewhat of a rut, and can now initiate a new attack. Give it a shot.
