Brain fitness activities need to be attended to like any other activity.
The good news is that lots of
them can be done very simply as part of my daily routine.
The tough part is that I will have to deal with the thoughts and feelings and judgements that come
up as I become less efficient during my writing with the non-dominant hand, for example.
In my case, some people will probably call that writing an improvement.
But I will be frustated as I practice that, and will need to remind myself that I am giving my brain
a chance to learn about itself, which is a good thing.
Back to the old saw, change the thought, change the feelings.
The task: Add some dark chocolate to your diet.
The reason: When you eat chocolate you
activate the systems in your brain that pump dopamine, an important brain chemical.
These
systems enable learning and memory, and help keep your brain sharp and fit.
The task: If you’re right-handed, use your left hand for daily activities (or vice-versa).
Start with
brushing your teeth left-handed, and practice until you have perfected it.
Then try to build your
way up to more complex tasks, such as eating.
The reason: This is an exercise in which you know
what you’re supposed to achieve, but must do it in a new and demanding learning context.
Doing
such an activity can drive your brain to make positive changes.
Think of millions of neurons
learning new tricks as you finally establish better control of that other hand!
The task: Go on a guided tour of a museum or another site of interest.
Pay careful attention to
what the guide says.
When you get home, try to reconstruct the tour by writing an outline that
includes everything you remember.
The reason: Research into brain plasticity (the ability of the
brain to change at any age) indicates that memory activities that engage all levels of brain
operation—receiving, remembering and thinking—help to improve the function (and hinder the
rate of decline) of the brain
