Psychologist's advice
This is a quote from My Piggy Bank Post Original Post 60 Easy Tips to Improve Your Brain
It is known that activity and longevity depend on the active state of our brain. However, not everyone knows how to help their brain stay active throughout their lives.
Here are 60 simple tips to improve your brain function:
1. Solve riddles and puzzles.
2. Develop ambidexterity. Use your non-dominant hand to brush your teeth, comb your hair, or use the mouse while sitting at your computer. Try writing with both hands at the same time. Swap the knife and fork when using them.
3. Pay attention to vagueness and ambiguity. Learn to love paradoxes and optical illusions.
4. Temporarily block one or more of your senses. Eat blindfolded, plug your ears while doing normal activities, take a shower with your eyes closed.
5. Find connections between seemingly unrelated topics.
6. Learn to use different keyboard layouts.
