10 Ways To Sharpen The Brain, Make It Smarter And Lightning Fast

 1 . Challenge your mind:

Take on new tasks, activities or problems to increase the complexity of what your brain has to do.

2. Exercise regularly:

Exercise can improve blood flow to the brain, leading to improved concentration and better cognitive function.

3. Get adequate sleep:

A good night's sleep helps the brain recharge, store information and prepare for another day of work or learning.

4. Eat a healthy diet:

Consume lots of fruits, vegetables and healthy fats like fish oil that are proven to promote brain health and help fight off diseases such as Alzheimer's.

5. Limit stress:

Unrelieved stress is toxic to the brain, so it's important to manage your stress levels through exercise, relaxation techniques or talking to a friend.

6. Stay social:

Socializing helps keep our minds active and connected with others, reducing loneliness and keeping us engaged with the world around us.

7. Use visualization techniques:

Using visual cues when trying to remember something helps create strong mental associations which can make it easier for our brains to access those memories later on.

8. Learn something new:

Taking up a new language or hobby can give your mind something fresh to focus on and help develop new neural pathways in the process.

9. Engage in meaningful conversations:

Meaningful conversations help us stay focused while also giving our brains some mental stimulation by requiring us to come up with solutions or opinions on a particular topic quickly and thoughtfully.

10. Meditate daily:

Meditation increases mindfulness, helping reduce rumination over past events while improving attention span in general by allowing your brain some time away from everyday distractions such as phones and emails

10 THINGS TIME HAS TAUGHT ME

 1. Most of our life is spent chasing false goals and worshipping false ideals. The day you realise that is the day you really start to live.

2. You really, truly cannot please all of the people all of the time. Please yourself first and your loved ones second, everyone else is busy pleasing themselves anyway, trust me.

3. Fighting the ageing process is like trying to catch the wind. Go with it, enjoy it. Your body is changing, but it always has been. Don’t waste time trying to reverse that, instead change your mindset to see the beauty in the new.

4. Nobody is perfect and nobody is truly happy with their lot. When that sinks in you are free of comparison and free of judgement. It’s truly liberating.

5. No one really sees what you do right, everyone sees what you do wrong. When that becomes clear to you, you will start doing things for the right reason and you will start having so much more fun.

6. You will regret the years you spent berating your looks, the sooner you can make peace with the vessel your soul lives in, the better. Your body is amazing and important but it does not define you.

7. Your health is obviously important but stress, fear and worry are far more damaging than any delicious food or drink you may deny yourself. Happiness and peace are the best medicine.

8. Who will remember you and for what, become important factors as you age. Your love and your wisdom will live on far longer than any material thing you can pass down. Tell your stories, they can travel farther than you can imagine.

9. We are not here for long but if you are living against the wind it can feel like a life-sentence. Life should not feel like a chore, it should feel like an adventure.

10. Always, always, drink the good champagne and use the things you keep for ‘best’. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one. Today is a gift that’s why we call it the present. Eat, Drink & Be Merry.
