Make your mind sharp

Hello,

# Whenever you hear a word you aren’t 100 percent how to spell, find out how and write the word down 10 times. Test yourself the next day.
# Read at least 1 classic this year.
# Brain Games! Try the Lumosity Brain Training Program. Only $6.60 a month.
# Read the newspaper more often. When you read about a person or place that’s unfamiliar to you, do a little research and soak up the new information. It’s sort of like turning each newspaper into a stimulating mental workout.
# Work a crossword puzzle each day.
# Think of favorite television shows from your youth – challenge yourself to remember each character’s name as well as the actors and actresses who played them. Depending on the length of time (and the size of the cast!), it could take an hour or more for a name to come to you. But here’s the thing, even if you have to work for the answer, you’re still getting a great mental workout.
# Pick up a few grade school workbooks if you need a great refresher’s course in math. They’re beside the coloring books and you have my permission to grab one of those as well. Express yourself.
# Pick an animal, bird, or fish that you know absolutely nothing about and spend the next week reading about your new friend. Spiders, sharks, polar bears, penguins, hummingbirds, possums, squirrels, bulldogs, iguanas… the list is endless and the opportunities are priceless. Each week, take on a new animal.
# Read National Geographic magazine regularly. Collect old issues – ebay, yard sales, and Goodwill stores make it an unexpectedly fun scavenger hunt. The pictures and the information can’t be beaten.
# Each month, tackle a period of history or an ancient culture. Few things are more fascinating to read about than Ancient China. Again, National Geographic magazines are a wealth of information.
# Tune in to the History Channel, the National Geographic Channel, Discovery Channel, and Animal Planet. These outstanding channels serve information on platters of entertainment and your brain will love every fascinating minute.
# Read old books as well as new books. Old books challenge your mind and stimulate your thinking in a way that new books don’t quite measure up to. This is part of the reason why I have a Thursday Throwback feature on Self Help Daily. I can take an author from the distant past and sort of hand the forum over to them for a day. If you’ve never read older books, .
# This one will surely be unexpected, but sign up for Twitter! Find a number of people to “follow” from a wide range of interests. Reading other’s opinions and updates will broaden your range. And, quite frankly, it’s a challenge to express yourself in a limited number of words .
