Tuesday Tip - Get Smarter!

We have all heard the ‘term use it or lose it’ and this is very much the case with our brains.  Many of us stop engaging in new activities and learning new things as we get older.  We stick to things we already know well and more than ever we rely on the use of electronic reminders, so we simply don’t challenge ourselves like we use to.  
​

Our brains crave stimulation to wake and up and strengthen its synapses, create new pathways, and delay cognitive decline. So, get out there and start learning!  It needs to be:

• Something you have never done before
• Challenging for you
• Progressive
• Most importantly fun!

If you don’t fancy joining me in going back to University (and I don’t blame you!), things like dancing and learning a new language are perfect as you keep moving up levels the more you learn.  Plus, learning a new language gives you the perfect excuse to visit that country!  Suffice to say, I will be expanding my French as soon as I finish University ;-)
