Try Something New And Grow Your Mind!
I don’t know about you, but I’m one of those people who likes to learn new things and experience things that are out of the everyday norm. This desire for learning is instinctual and the process of learning new things actually promotes brain growth, no matter how old you are, according to, “Miracle-Gro For Your Mind,” an article found in the December 2007 of Prevention magazine.
“What’s really exciting is that new experiences needn’t be dramatic or life changing to have positive effects.” Just making simple changes in an everyday routine can benefit and expand your mind.
Following are some easy ways to change routine habits to benefit your mind according to the article:
- Brush your teeth using the opposite hand you normally use.
- Walk or bike your usual route in the opposite direction.
- Trade your favorite game such as a crossword puzzle for another one, such as Sudoku, to change things up.
- Eat at an ethnic restaurant to take in some new tastes, instead of eating from a standard American menu.
- Rearrange your furniture.
- Plan to visit a new place.
- Shop at a different grocery store than the one you always go to.
