Pump the gyrus: how to develop your own brain

Simple tricks will improve memory and intelligence.

The brain, like muscles, can adapt to the load. And those things that you do often become routine. How to train him? The main rule is to give the brain unusual, new information. Thanks to this, new neural connections will be formed, and the brain will develop. Here are some exercises to help you do this.

Change your hand and close your eyes

Most of the daily activities, such as brushing your teeth, dressing, cooking, the brain performs automatically, saving energy. You can surprise him: for example, brush your teeth not with your right hand, as usual, but with your left, or try to have breakfast, periodically closing your eyes.

Practice tactility

It is known that about 90% of the information a person receives through vision. But the ability to use touch in the average person is poorly developed. This can be used in brain training. For example, try to learn Braille or learn to feel the denomination of coins.

Change your image and make a permutation

The brain gets used to the environment - the arrangement of furniture in the house and objects on the desktop, to the reflection in the mirror and a set of familiar clothes. It is not necessary to carry out major repairs and radically change the appearance. It is enough, for example, to periodically make a small redevelopment and, in order to “shake up” perception, try new things in clothes.

Engage your sense of smell

Have you been wearing the same perfume for years? It's time to change that! A good way to get your brain working is to get rid of the "aromatic" routine. The sense of smell is an important channel for the perception of reality. It also needs to periodically bring something unusual into it, whether it be new perfumes or spices when cooking.

Use other routes

Home - work - home. This route may remain unchanged for years. The bottom line is that the brain goes through it on autopilot, not getting involved in the process at all. Try to get to the office in different ways and thoroughly study the area where you live, walk where you have not been before. And before traveling to a new place, carefully study the maps in advance and try to get to the desired point without peeping into the map application and navigator tips.

Replace the fork with chopsticks

Eating is also a routine for the brain. Try to learn new skills! Have you been eating with a fork all your life? Grab your sticks! The first time will be difficult, but it will be a great workout.

Move asymmetrically

For example, try drawing a triangle on paper with one hand and a square with the other. Or an eight and an asterisk. In general, the figures should not be similar to each other. Drawing them separately is not difficult, but if you do it at the same time, the brain will be puzzled.

Solve puzzles

Sudoku (more about rules: https://sudokuhit.com/ru/kak-igrat/chto-takoe-pravilo-45-v-sudoku/) and crossword puzzles are also good for brain training, but on one condition: if you solve them infrequently. If every day you complete ten Sudokus and can immediately name the capitals of Madagascar, Mozambique and Somalia, these types of puzzles are a routine for you, and your brain is already used to them.

Look at the Schulte tables

Schulte tables are a simulator that develops attentiveness, reading speed and improves peripheral vision. The task is to look at the center of the table and find all the numbers from 1 to 25 with peripheral vision as quickly as possible.
