It feels like more and more, the days are filled with infinite Facebook newsfeed updates and evening Netflix binges 5x the are you still watching? notification. With all of the easy “brainless” activities we do throughout the day, it can feel like our brain begins to turn to mush. It’s incredibly important to stay alert, focused and exercise mental health. A long life of happiness comes from the inside-out, and we want to continue evolving rather than simply becoming lazier.
Here are 7 Ways To Boost Your Brainpower Every Day:
1. Meditation: Decreases anxiety & improves focus by improving the mind-body connection
2. Exercise: Enhance your mood & boost energy, a strong body translates to a strong mind
3. Cook for Yourself: Understand the foods you’re putting in your body, experiment with different ingredients & flavors
4. Eat More Greens: Alkaline the body by balancing pH, aids in digestive health & brain functionality (here are some delicious salad recipes)
5. Journal: Write down thoughts, feelings & ideas, exercise creativity while boosting emotional health
6. Board Games: Stimulate the right & left sides of the brain, may prevent memory loss as we age
7. Sleep More! Sleep helps the mind organize information overload, essential for a day of focus & productivity

I definitely try to keep all of these activities as part of my life. I really like board games–you wouldn’t immediately think of them but I always feel better when I play them–more connected to the people around me.

Love these suggestions. I actually do a lot of them already. I do need to start meditating again. I use to do it daily but have stopped for a while now. You just reminded me to get back to it again. Thanks for sharing these with us.

Thank you so much for these great tips <3
I've found journaling really helps – it not only stimulates the brain because you're writing, but it gets to really think about the daily things that happen in your life.
I definitely agree with the exercising, meditation, and healthy eating habits.
I never knew that board games can help too! 🙂 Great advice!
