Easy and adapted activities to stimulate your brain

You really want to link your daily life with your brain training, but you do not know how to? Here are some simple exercises that should be able to help you.

 

Practice handwriting

Our first advice is a really simple exercise which you can do whenever you want: handwriting. For one thing, it will allow to think about what you are about to write on paper before actually writing it, but it also forces you to think about how you are going to put your thoughts in sentence. Of course, you can always write it on your smartphone or tablet, but it does not bear the same impact.

 

Practice mental math

Whether you like maths or not, it is really easy to solve simple mathematical problems in your daily activities. The idea is not to solve complicated problems but rather to picture the numbers in your head, allowing for your brain to think about the right answer to this problem. And you can make it a game! Ask your closed ones to give simple arithmetic problems.

Solve sudokus

 

If you want to combine thinking and playing, we can perfectly advise you to do sudokus. Indeed, it will allow you to train your brain in a rather playful way.

A practical application to do sudokus endlessly: The Joe application.

Wiggle your toes

It might seem a little odd, but it should be noted that wiggling your toes is a good way to get your brain’s senses going and therefore keeping it alert at all times. A good way to start the day!

 

Read books

Reading is just like mental arithmetic. Not everybody like it, but it is one of the most effective way to train your brain. Indeed, since it is making your brain focus on the word you are reading, your brain gets used to assimilating new information.

 

Extend your knowledge

Another exercise you can do is spend some time on Wikipedia or have your nose in a new encyclopaedia each day to widen your knowledge and learn new things about topics that you like.

 

Try multitasking to stay productive

Even though it light not be recommended to stay focused, doing several tasks at the same time can allow to stay productive and efficient in the long run. Of course, for it to work, multitasking is also something to do in the long run.

 

Picture your actions in your mind

When you know you have several tasks to accomplish during the day, it is a good thing to try and picture them in your mind. This way, because your mind works a lot visually, it allows you not to forget those tasks.

 

Try to cease every opportunity

The last exercise and advice we can give you is to simply to always stay on your toes and be aware of your surroundings. Indeed, it is the best way to see an opportunity and cease it when it come your way. Once again, there are many brain exercises to keep your mind sharp.   There are obviously many more other simple exercises you can do in your daily life, but the main goal is truly to find what works for you and the exercises you like, to perform them once every day and keep your brain at the top of its game.
