Is your brain feeling sluggish? Refresh your brain!!  

Here are some ways that can give your brain a "pick me up"!

Exercise

Hydrate your body and brain with water and other good liquids

Stimulate it with new colors around you, on your computer, change where you sit, etc. New input always helps.

Think happy!! Dream of a great vacation, fun things that you have done, etc.

Play games

Watch quality TV that stimulates like Jeopardy (I like to try and answer the questions), or other thought-provoking TV shows.

Surf the net. Yes, it does help!

Eat brain food (not pills but the actual foods that contain Vitamin A, B Vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Magnesium, Zinc, Amino Acids

Fish oil. Eating the fish is best but if not, a good supplement (I find Krill Oil the best)

Consume brain-boosting herbs, but the two most important are Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng

Learn something new!! I was learning Italian this year and am trying to learn sign language

Organize and save time!! Keeping things clutter free will make it better for you to focus. Organize your time, your space, etc. When you do, you will waste less time and be more stress free.

Work on improving your memory by doing memory exercises.

Get proper rest. Oh, and YES, nap time is not just for infants and old people. If you feel tired, take a short nap. Big companies are starting to allow for this (at least the smart ones) and make sure you find a way to get a good night's sleep.

Have sex!! Oh, yes, now you have an excuse. "Honey, I need to get smarter!!"

LOL

So, have fun pumping up your brain!!
