How can you engage 100% of your brain?
Forget the myth that you use only 10% – each day, most humans use nearly 100% of their brain.SCIENCE SAYS:
Before neuroimaging, many assumed uncharted brain regions, like the frontal lobe, were simply inactive – but today's technology shows this expansive region is a trainable (retrainable) powerhouse for higher-order functions.WAYS TO BEGIN:
- Explore new activities. Challenges help strengthen neural pathways and build cognitive reserve.
- Prioritize what is most important. Give full attention to the priority and step back from distractions or drama.
- Awaken your sense of play. Connect with others to engage in puzzles, games, art and share creative ideas.
- Be strategic about memory practices. Exercise habits to support your working memory, like creating pneumonic devices or visual cues as reminders of important details.
