Ten Activities Which Increase Human Brain Power
On March - 11 - 2009
If you would like to increase your brain power, there are literally hundreds of different types of exercises and games you can play to do so. The key word here is “play”. It is much easier for your brain to respond, change and grow when learning takes place in a relaxed and fun format.
The following list of ten activities is a good one to start with for boosting your human brain power:
ü Do brainteasers and puzzles
ü Learn to appreciate optical illusions
ü Learn to play an instrument
ü Try being “ambidextrous for a day”. Use your non-dominant hand
to do tasks you normally do with your dominant hand.
ü Block one or more of your sense (sight, sound, etc) and try to
navigate your environment
ü Try to think of interesting new uses for everyday objects
ü Try to find connections between unrelated subjects
ü Have a pen and paper handy so you can “doodle” when you
aren’t doing anything else, are on the phone, etc.
ü Use your imagination to re-write history. How would the world be today if a particular historic event had not occurred?
ü Read books on creativity and learn about mind mapping and
brainstorm techniques
If you’ll notice, there is a theme across the board here: boosting your brain power is all about doing something new. In order to break your usual mold, you’ve got to surprise your sub-conscious mind by presenting similar information in news and surprising ways. Force your mind to make the connections and bypass the usual “editing” process that goes on in the background.
Two books that can be of great help on the creative side of this are “The Artists Way”, by Julia Cameron and “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain”, by Betty Edwards.
