40 Ideas — How Many are Concerned About the Loss of Cognitive Ability
What to do? Force yourself to use your brain more.
If you answered… “Yes, I am concerned about it. Go ahead and read.
“There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.” ~ William Shakespeare
The important thing you can do is to break your routine to maximize your cognitive potential.
New experiences benefit your brain.
Because it needs new things to grow.
Anything that makes you very comfortable is not really good for your brain development.
If what you do is too easy for you to do, and doesn’t challenge you… it doesn’t change you.
The more you pick up a new skill, learn to use a new software program, new apps, new ways to make your art, or study a new subject, the stronger your mind becomes.
The mental muscles you should be exercising frequently are Creativity. Focus. Logic. Strategy.
Things you can do:
1 — Break your routine. If you take shower in the morning, instead take in the evening.
2 — Sign up to use a new Internet platform.
3 — Create a new website or reinvent the one you already have.
4 — Start a passion project, something you want to do because you love…a craft work, write in another subject, make a new form of art.
5 — Take a class online. Anything on skillshare, for example.
6 — Share your work on different social media.
7 — Take a different route when going for a walk. Look to the sky. Pay attention to the noises around you.
8 — Set a new goal, make a new plan.
9 — Read a book in a subject you don’t usually read about.
10 — Begin a new side gig.
