1. Strain your brain

   Do something new that requires mental effort: dancing, playing the piano, learning a new language. This increases the speed of information processing, strengthens synapses, and expands the functional networks of the brain.

2. Get out of your comfort zone

   When you are comfortable and you are happy with everything, chemicals that cause a good mood are released in the brain. But in the long run, comfort does not benefit your brain. It is the willingness to get out of the comfort zone that keeps the brain young. Strive for new experiences, develop new skills and be open to new ideas.

3. Train concentration

   To do this, start meditating. According to research, meditation increases the amount of gray matter in the areas of the brain responsible for attention and processing of external sensory signals.

4. Read every day

   While reading, the brain changes and develops. As you read these words, your brain deciphers abstract symbols and synthesizes the results into complex ideas. It’s an amazing process.

5. Keep a diary

   Keeping records will help you prioritize, think clearly and focus on important things instead of urgent ones. The diary also helps to cope with stressful situations and anxiety more easily and even increases the activity of immune cells.

6. Don’t sit still

   Whether you like it or not, physical activity significantly affects the brain and mood. According to researchers, movement improves cognitive abilities. Therefore, find the type of activity that you like and practice regularly.

7. Get enough sleep at night and take a nap break during the day

   Sleep reduces physical and psychological stress. In addition, while you sleep, the brain converts new information.

8. Learn to do nothing

   Spend time in silence, disconnected from the Internet and thoughts about work. It improves concentration and creative thinking. So schedule time in your calendar for doing nothing along with other tasks.
