Do you guys sometimes feel like your brain is slowing down a bit? Do you want to train it back up to be the supercomputer that it is? Here are 10 simple tips to train your brain
Do Something New
When you learn something new, that will actually stimulate your brain!
Don’t always do the same thing, your brain will get used to it and will be auto-pilot, instead change your life up, and challenge yourself so your brain can turn!
For example, you can try finding more roads to go to work, try cooking a new recipe, a new exercise routine, etc. You just have to mix it up!
Turn off your waze
Nowadays we don’t need maps anymore, waze will tell us everything. This makes our brain lazier and less efficient at the same time as it doesn’t need to be used that much.
Instead, try turning off your waze and using your brain to remember roads, figure out new roads etc so while you are driving you are also exercising your brain!
Throw away the calculator
Remember in school when we were forced to use our brain to do mathematics? That was when our brain was really turning. Now we rely too much on calculators and our phones to do calculations and thus just like using waze, it makes our brain lazier as we don’t need to use as much brain power.
Try not to use electronics to help you with calculations and such, instead use your brain to do it first, make it really turn!
Be curious
Instead of taking everything at face value and just accepting it, make a habit of questioning everything around you, make your brain ask questions. Like how children’s brain processes fast because they always ask “why, why, why”!
By being curious and questioning everything, you force your brain to analyze and innovate to create new ideas.
Think positive
Stress and anxiety kills brain neurons and stops neurons from being created.
Learn how to think positive, especially for your future, and you will speed up the creation of cells in your brain and reduce your stress and anxiety!
Exercise regularly
It has been scientifically proven that regular exercise helps to increase your brain function and enhances it’s capabilities. This means that every time you exercise, you are creating new brain cells!
It’s been proven that regular exercise helps to increase brain function and enhances neurogenesis. This means that every time you exercise, you are creating new brain cells!
Train your memory
You realize nowadays people around you are always saying their memory is getting worse or they have bad memory? It is because they allow their brain to become lazy.
If you discipline yourself to memorize things such as phone numbers, specific dates and other important numbers (IC, passport, insurance, credit card, debit card), you will start to see your memory slowly improve over time.
Eat healthy
Our diets actually affect our brain function a lot. Study shows that our brain consumes over 20% of all our nutrients and oxygen that we consume. So imagine if you eat 5 eggs, your brain eats 1 of it. That is A LOT for just one organ!
So remember to feed your brain the right thing, and don’t eat too much junk food!
Read a book
Reading relieves tension and stress, which allows your brain cells to grow faster.
Research has also shown that using your imagination is a great way to train your brain because you force your mind to make a mental picture. Reading is a great way to do this!
Reading everyday improve your thinking and imagination!
Get enough sleep
Sleep is like a mini detox for the brain. When you sleep, your body regenerates cells and removes the toxins that have built up during the day.
Don’t sleep too late and try to get 8 hours of sleep so your brain has enough rest and regenerates itself!
