How to Clear Your Brain

Occasionally here at Puzzled Daily, we like to answer questions rather than pose them. Today we thought we’d share a sure-fire way to clear your brain from all clutter. Seriously, busy minds, this works.

There’s an old Chinese saying we just made up, “To think of something, think of a bird. To think of nothing, think of a bird and cough syrup–at the same moment.”

When you try to think of two incompatible things at the same time, there is a kind of middle ground of nothingness that can really clear your head. Sure, if you get creative enough you can come with a reason why there’s a bird flying around with a bottle of cough syrup in its beak, but don’t. How easy is that! Here, let’s do an exercise.

First we have an image of actor Tom Hardy, that suave Brit from Inception, in real life posing like a total douche-bag:

"So, Mr. Perlman, like what you see?"

Okay. There’s that. And now here’s a nude picture of TV’s Betty White:

"Sure I'll do a nude. I don't want to wait 60 years for my career to take off."

Next time you need to clear your head, just keep in mind these two photos: there’s no bird flying around with cough syrup in its beak here, busy mind people. Now sleep. Sleep. Sleeeeep.
