North County Water and Sport Therapy Center - January 2024

White noise is commonly used to help people fall asleep, but now, more people are using it to increase their concentration during the workday. By providing a consistent background sound, white noise can mask environmental distractions like chattering, traffic, or intermittent noises that may otherwise disturb concentration. Here are a few benefits of utilizing white noise in your day. Calming Effect White noise, especially calm nature sounds, exerts a soothing effect on the mind, providing a stable auditory environment that reduces sudden distractions. The calming influence can help you feel more positive and enable the mind to transition to a more conducive state for a deeper focus on work or study. Boosts Concentration White noise boosts concentration by increasing background neural “noise” in the brain, which helps essential neural signals to stand out and be detected, which can enhance cognitive performance. This can be particularly useful when you need to train your attention while tackling complex problems. Enhances Creativity Some studies suggest that moderate white noise can improve creativity and imaginative thinking. It keeps the idea gateway open during the generative process and enables you to think freely and develop novel solutions. CALM YOUR MIND, BOOST YOUR PRODUCTIVITY: THE BENEFITS OF WHITE NOISE

Whether you’re studying, working, or engaging in creative endeavors, the benefits of white noise extend to a wide range of activities, making it a versatile tool for enhancing focus.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT SAY HELLO TO MICHELLE SEBASTIAN

Hello! My name is Michelle, and I am very excited to join the NCWSTC team! I recently relocated from Reno, Nevada, where I also worked for a physical therapy practice. The most rewarding part of my job is watching the progress of patients from their initial evaluation to their graduation day! Watching the frowns of pain turn into smiles of healing is so rewarding. I enjoy listening to live music and eating the great Mexican food San Diego has to offer. I’m looking forward to meeting all of NCWSTC’s fabulous patients and providing service with a warm, welcoming smile!
