Exercise your mind

Really fit people seem to be good at all sports. Really talented at all the physical things they try. They seem to eat what they like at restaurants and yet remain svelte. How?

Here’s the trick. They don’t just play tennis, swim or jog. They do it all and more. They participate in many and varied types of physical activity and sport. So they exercise their entire body. They develop new motor skills all while refining the base they already have. They stay fit and get fitter.

Our brains work the same way. It gets fitter, stronger and more flexible the more challenges we give it. To just read about business and entrepreneurship only builds certain parts of our mind. Occasionally we need to stretch it in other ways. Read something different, watch a nature documentary, undertake some craft activity, do some gardening, go bird watching. Anything.

When we do this the interconnecting synapses in our mind will develop. We’ll then better cross fertilize our ideas and experience. We’ll open up the space for new solutions….

So please click out of this blog, and do something you’ve never done. Your mind will thank you for it.

  1. When you’re really working your brain you will tire just as quickly as you might when exercising at the gym … that’s how you know you’re really working the grey matter.

    So I guess the fact I get home from my government job and feel like I’ve only done 100 metres on the treadmill … I don’t have a very mentally stimulating job 🙂

  2. I totally agree with working the mind…..I remember I used to get really hungry after a major math test back in high school…LOL
    good post!
