Brain Boosters
Brain Exercise
There are a plethora of brain exercises out there, all designed to boost specific brain functions. The major theme is awareness. Be aware and make a conscious effort to think about your immediate sensory inputs and the more abstract realities of life. Some of the best brain exercises stretch us to consider our weaknesses and work that specific area in order to forge new synapses. If a brain exercise gets comfortable or easy, switch it up.
Play Brain Games
Crossword puzzles are great brain workouts because they force you to think about very abstract ideas from sparse information and clues. Connecting all these ideas is a great way to train your brain to develop concrete ideas from seemingly random factoids. Sudokus are another very popular brain stimulator. Similar to crossword puzzles, these abstract games force the brain to develop in ways that research has shown to stave off dementia. If you are a word person, try Sudokus. If you are a math person, try a crossword puzzle.
Take a Class
In the same vein as brain puzzles, taking a class can also stimulate your brain. If classes aren't your thing, go to a poetry reading or join a book club. The inter-personal communication of ideas and thoughts challenges your own conceptions and builds a great foundation for collaborative work. New synapses are formed and old ones are strengthened. Great for your job and great for your life.
Learn a new Language
Learning a different language, at any level, encourages excellent brain function. Learning a language is a comprehensive brain activity affecting many different sections, speech, hearing and reading. Forming new connections between the abstract ideas that are conveyed with language is one of the most important brain-health exercises you can do.
Always do Something
Do anything, but don't do nothing. All research shows that boredom can lead to atrophy. When you are not stretching, or at least working your brain, valuable synapses and connections are going to disrepair. This gradual decline will certainly make your aging process difficult and will lead to decreased mental function when you have reached an advanced age. When the temptation to vegetate is strong, resist. Your mind will thank you later, and it will get easier to avoid the temptation with time.
