Tips for Mental Fitness

Tips for mental fitness

• Sharpen your senses: do a blind tasting and taste what you eat and drink very consciously. Or sit on a comfortable environment  and close your eyes and feel the peace and harmony. What are you listening to?

• Stay flexible: Brush your teeth with your left hand as a right-handed person or try to write something with your left hand.

• Make a note of sequences: Before you go anywhere by train or bus, take a look at the timetable and visualize the individual stations. While driving, you can then check whether you still know the stations in the correct order. This also works when driving with motorway exits or place names.

• Go shopping without a list: consciously leave your shopping list in your pocket and try to remember everything in the store. Only check the goods in the shopping basket when you think you have all the items and compare how many things you have really remembered.

• Practice mental arithmetic: mental arithmetic is an excellent memory exercise. You don't have to come up with complicated bills, you can easily integrate this into your everyday life. For example, the next time you shop, try the prices of all the individual goods in your store

• Add shopping carts or calculate the average speed of your trip to the supermarket by calculating the kilometers traveled by the time used.

• Memorize new things: Pick up a song text and try to memorize it in a given time. Then try to write down everything you have learned. The comparison shows you how much you have really remembered. Learning by heart is an excellent memory exercise. And next time you can sing along with your favorite songs on the radio with the deepest voice.

• Miter jogging for everyday life: As you know, you are never too old for games. It is all the better if you can also improve your memory and concentration while playing. Here are a few games listed for you, some of which you can play alone or with others. You may also know one or two things from your childhood.
