- The human brain has a default mode network that functions when we are idle
- Yes, our brain has a default mode of resting more which will be inactive when we are performing certain tasks, i.e, for instance - when you are working, checking your phone or email, doing any task certain parts of our brains will be at rest.

Active Default Mode
The default mode network allows us to process information that is related to social relationships, or place in the wider world, fantasies we have about the future, and of course emotions
It's simple to activate Default Mode-
Find a pillow, lie back and let go of task-oriented activity. Look at great art, listen to your favorite music, just simply lie down on the grass and see the sky or just sit & meditate.
It's doesn't matter what thoughts run in your mind, whatever it is - your brain is projecting data based on what you have seen, heard, & learned.
