It is known that a person uses the brain only 10%. This statement is considered an old unkillable myth. And yet, throughout their lives, most people don't use their brains 100%. It turns out that the brain, like any muscle in the body, can be trained by regularly performing certain exercises.
Instructions
Step 1
Change your usual start to the day. Every morning, when you wake up for work, you perform the same actions, your brain at this time works on autopilot. It is necessary to force the brain to work differently, to give it a new task. For example, walk to the bathroom with your eyes closed and brush your teeth. In this situation, the brain begins to work in a different way, at a new speed, since you came up with a new task for it.
Step 2
Replace the familiar paths with new ones. For example, take a new route to work from home, be it walking or driving. If this is difficult, count the number of steps from your house to the car park or bus stop. Try to remember banner ads or signposts that are on your usual path.
Step 3
Rearrange furniture at home or simply reorder items on your desk. The brain will have to remember the new arrangement of things, which will lead to the recruitment of new brain cells that were previously inactive.
Step 4
Read books out loud. When you read aloud, your brain is 60% more productive than when reading to yourself.
Step 5
Go in for sports. Scientists have proven that with regular physical activity, brain function improves. Experiments were carried out on mice, they ran in a moving wheel. Further analysis showed that these rodents have twice as many cells in the brain region that is responsible for memory and learning.
Step 6
It is necessary to develop thinking. Different areas of your brain will develop with the help of different workouts. Make it a rule to write a small text every day with your left hand if you are right-handed, and vice versa. Try new flavors constantly, explore new places.
Step 7
Be curious. The brain tends to be curious. Make it a rule to ask at least ten "Whys" a day. And you will be surprised how many new opportunities will open up for you.
Step 8
Solve riddles and crosswords. Any task, be it a puzzle or a crossword puzzle, they all perfectly activate the brain.
Step 9
Limit your alcohol intake. Everyone has known for a long time that alcohol injures brain cells. It has also been shown to make them harder to recover.
Step 10
Continuously develop and improve your skills. Solve more complex crosswords, learn and practice new ways of embroidery, read more new books. By constantly improving your skills and achieving better results, your brain will always be healthy.
