Play brain games.
By the time you’re an adult, you probably have a routine carved out. Get
up, go to work, come home, be with family. These habits work because
you’ve done them over and over, and they use the same neural pathways in
your brain. Shaking up this routine can stimulate your brain so it
keeps developing. Find brain teasers, or do sudoku and crossword puzzles
in the paper. There are an influx of websites and game cartridges that
will help you use your brain in different ways. Brain games don’t have
to be on a computer or handheld device! Taking a new way home from work,
visiting different places over the weekend, and reading different types
of books will also activate lesser-used areas of the brain. Anything
that’s new, fun, and challenging will stimulate your brain.
Jacqueline is a fan of historical dramas as long as they're clean with some crazy plot twists. Often she writes with her darling Nash-cat resting on her arms, which makes for some interesting typing. She's a survivor of narcissistic head games, and adds bits and pieces taken from her experiences to her stories.
