Points to Ponder :
“Few minds wear out; more rust out” -Christian Nestell Bovee
How often do you exercise your brain? You may say you do it every day — after all, you think, analyze, ponder, assess, and imagine each and every day.
I respectfully disagree with you …. and let me ask you when is the last time that you:
- Painted, sculpted, played an instrument … that you don’t normally do?
- Moved items that are typically on your left side to your right, and worked with them on the ‘opposite’ side?
- Wrote with your opposite hand? And wrote more than your name to give an added challenge?
- Did a puzzle that you normally don’t … Sudoku, crossword, anagram, logic?
- Learned words in a new language, or to a new song or poem?
- Built a model airplane, or create something out of Lego’s or PlayDoh?
These activities will engage either the right or the left side of your brain muscle and keep your thinking sharp and creative. An added benefit is releasing the ‘other’ side of your brain, giving it an opportunity to rest. Remember Effective Ways of Dealing with Overwhelm?
As with all new workout regimes, it may feel awkward or uncomfortable, and you may get frustrated and be tempted to quit. Don’t take yourself so seriously and keep at it … you might be amazed at your progress!
