It is believed that with age a person loses his sharpness of mind. But if you constantly maintain your mental abilities "in shape", this can be avoided. For example, do simple exercises “in between”. They will allow nerve cells in the brain to remain youthful and healthy for a long time.
Instruction manual
one
When doing your usual daily activities (dress, move around the room, take a shower), try to do them with your eyes closed: this will allow other senses to engage in active work.
2
At least a few actions during the day should be performed with a “non-leading” hand: if you are right-handed, try writing a few lines with your left hand, and hold a toothbrush in a spoon. If you are left-handed, let your right hand work. This will force the pathways and cortex of the opposite hemisphere of the brain to perform unusual work, thereby expanding its capabilities.
3
Performing various calculations, do not use a calculator, if possible, make calculations in the mind.
4
Come up with an unusual use for familiar things. You can do it mentally, or you can bring your ideas to life - then you will also fill your “environment” with unusual creative things.
5
Try to do the usual things in unusual ways: communicate for a while with the child using gestures, without words; watch a TV show or a movie, after turning off the sound - by gestures and facial expressions try to understand what it is about.
6
Learn to play games that require strategy development (poker, chess).
7
Experiment in the kitchen: do not follow ready-made recipes, invent them yourself, try unusual and unusual combinations of products, at least sometimes.
eight
Change your clothing style periodically, because it is known that a person’s sense of self (especially a woman) changes depending on what he is wearing.
