How to make your brain work better

( How to make your brain work better )

1. Talk to your Brain
Either through visualization or self-talk to let it know what you
expect it to do.
2. Forget everything that does not pertain to what you are doing.

3. Use relaxing techniques to Engage your whole brain.

4. Engage all your senses to help.

Your brain processes millions of bits of information every day, and only a minute part of it is ever brought into you conscious thoughts. Even so, We are overwhelmed with information that the brain thinks is important. Far more information than we need or want. Learn to filter out irrelevant information and your thinking will make a dramatic improvement.
You do not have to worry that you will miss something, the information will still be processed and still be available when needed.

Studies have shown that physical activity are by far the number one method for making the brain work better.

Physical activity boosts blood flow to the brain, which in turn boosts both oxygen and nutrients (including proteins) going to the brain. The brain thrives on oxygen and nutrients...and there is a strong "argument" that brain function and ultimately memory are dependent on proteins.

Visualizing and relaxing help you visualize and relax.

Taking brain quizzes helps you take brain quizzes.

However, to make the brain work better...the single most effective technique is physical activity, movement, exercise...walking, running, swimming, etc.

The best support technique to physical activity is a healthy diet which removes or prevents toxins from getting to the brain....i.e. cut back on drugs, booze, chemical preservatives in ones food....and not having excess sugar nor excess salt.

You can filter out irrelevant information by telling yourself how irrelevant it is, this will let your brain know.

But ...but booze, sugar and salt are my three major food groups.

@mrmhead Said

I don't listen to my brain half the time, why would I expect it to listen to me?

....?

?

@chaski Said

Booze actually helps my cognition, I'm pretty sure it is both unusual and a genetic anomaly.

@mrmhead Said

Interesting and serious thought on that: One of those SCI channels series - or something like that - talked about how white noise could actually help bring something in to focus.

What if drinking or drugs or whatever ... actual loud noise (Death Metal )
is another way to "white out" the unimportant parts?

A different kind of fidget spinner.

@chaski Said

Most people should ignore their brains.

Kind of like not using a power tool that has been neglected for a very long time.... or not trying to fly an airplane when one has never learn how to fly it.

Yeah! - I went to use my Bissell the other day (yeah, it's been awhile) And the spray part doesn't work - the motor doesn't work, I heard a buzz...so I just left it alone. Not worth fiddling with.
