Most of us spend half our waking time at work. Our employ consumes a lot of brain power that doesn’t use our brain’s associative potential.
Using brain aerobics will give us brain breaks that stretch our minds throughout the day.
Take a brain break. Take a walk at lunch, start a discussion group. There are many seemingly small ideas to increase our brain activity. Trying them doesn’t cost us anything but a little time from the ordinary and may improve our memory and brain function.
For example, move your wastebasket in your office to a different location. The moment you catch yourself aiming at the old familiar location, notice it, redirect your actions, your brain’s increased alertness to a new situation and the beginnings of an new series of instructions entered into your mental program.
So, it’s good to incorporate a little disorder into you life.
You can also activate your memory by putting an odor and a specific task together. Remember a particular phone number and use a specific smell every time you dial it.
