10 Amazingly Simple Tricks To Turn Your Brain Into A Powerful Thinking Machine
Self Improvement Tips: "There are two basic principles to keep your brain healthy and sharp as you age: variety and curiosity. When anything you do becomes second nature, you need to make a change. If you can do the crossword puzzle in your sleep, it’s time for you to move on to a new challenge in order to get the best workout for your brain. Curiosity about the world around you, how it works and how you can understand it will keep your brain working fast and efficiently. Use the ideas below to help attain your quest for mental fitness."
This is a nice list that focuses on things that will help you develop your brain. Some of the choices they recommend are very simple and can be done in only a few minutes a day. I really like the idea of using the opposite hand during the day. I already try to use both on the computer and doing other things.
ReplyDeleteI have my own little routines that I do everyday from the time I get up from the time I go to bed. They help me get the day going and eases me into my work. But sometimes I need a break from those routines. If I don't break a routine every now once and a while then it becomes mundane and I can start to feel that I am not paying that much attention to what I'm doing. So I do little things, like take a different direction to class or change the order I do something, just to get me out of my everyday way of doing things. This way I see more and I don't become bored very quickly.
