The following is a list of 11 ways that you can keep your brain active and processing and ready for new events that occur. Your brain is like a muscle, and so you can only have it at top shape by keeping it used on a regular basis. If you’re not using it much, you will soon see your brain’s ability to process declining, although it is hard to notice from a first-person perspective.
Here’s the list my fellow people:
1. Read material from a category you don’t normally read, like economics or physics
2. Ask someone a question after thinking about what they will say in response
3. Learn 5 phrases in a new language
4. Work on an instrumental song you have not tackled before
5. Do some exercises to get your circulation going before using your brain
6. Talk to a new person, and ask them question based on what they tell you
7. Read a How Things Work page online until you figure out how the gadget works
8. Do something uncommon and then quickly respond to any reaction it gets
9. Write poems to 3 people you know with the lines of it made up on the spot
10. Approach a member of the opposite gender and tell them some facts about yourself
11. Mess up the options on some electronic appliance and then correct them

Hi Justin.
Well I in fact got that picture from Flickr. I forgot to link to it at the bottom. Good point there.
Thanks about suggestion #11. I thought of those one by one and thought of what would cause my brain to activate.
Good to hear from you.
Interesting list – many could also be good for being more creative. The one about reading something you wouldn’t normaly do is a favourite for me.
Nice tips, Armen! Keeping your brain active and clear during the whole life is very important and pointed very helpful tips for that purpose. Thanks!
