Avoid negative thinking. What you focus on the most will become larger. For example, if you focus on a negative situation in your life, it will seem larger, which can cause anxiety and depression. Instead learn to focus on the good things in your life. 

I’m sure you’ve heard this one before … Get enough sleep! A lack of sleep, less than 7 hours, decreases blood flow to the brain. I personally need at least 8 hours to perform at my best. If possible, a sleeping schedule between 10:30 PM and 7:30 AM is best.  If you have trouble getting to sleep at night due to a stressful day, try spending a half hour or so before bedtime doing something relaxing. Reading tends to relax me. And one thing that really helps me is to pray in bed. Not only is it a great time to spend with God, because there are no distractions, but it is also a great de-stressor.

New Learning

Your brain is a thinking organ that learns and grows even as you age. Mental stimulation improves your brain and ultimately your memory and actually protects your brain against decline.

The human brain can grow new neurons even in old age. Most age-related memory problems are caused by the lack of mental stimulation. In other words, use it or lose it.

Engage Your Brain

It is important to challenge your brain to learn new tasks. The key word is “new.” In other words, learning tasks that you have never done are especially beneficial to the brain. Examples include: chess, tai chi, yoga, or a foreign language.

In a previous post I suggested switching your mouse to your opposite hand and try controlling it. If you haven’t tried this yet, go ahead and give it a try.  The first time I tried this I was very surprised at how difficult it was. I could almost feel my brain being challenged.
