Train Your Brain! 3 Tips for Improving your Mind and Memory

Date: 12/15/20

No matter your age, it’s important to strengthen your mind and memory. Working out your brain is similar to working out your body. The more you train, the stronger it will become. Here are three simple ways to start training your brain.

GET YOUR BODY MOVING

Exercise benefits your mind by helping you focus on the moment. Even light activities like a short walk or chair exercises help to keep your mind engaged. (Before starting a new exercise, be sure to check with your doctor.)

SHARPEN YOUR MIND WITH DAILY CHALLENGES

Your brain can become weak if you don’t work to keep it strong. Do at least one brain boosting activity every day.

Strengthen your brainpower by:

  • Working on crossword puzzles or word searches
  • Playing card games by yourself or with a friend
  • Using your hands to knit, draw or color
  • Meditating to relieve stress, which can affect your memory

HEAL YOUR MIND WHILE YOU SLEEP

Most Americans get less sleep than needed for the body and brain to recharge. Getting enough sleep strengthens your memory. It also boosts your problem solving and thinking skills. Stick to a set sleeping schedule and limit caffeine throughout the day. You’ll experience a higher quality of sleep which is good for your mind.
