Lifestyle Desk, New Delhi. We do many types of work in our everyday life. However, while doing our daily routine, not only our body but also our mind starts getting tired. We often see signs of this mental fatigue. Went to the room for some work and as soon as you reached there, you forgot why you had come? Or are you unable to remember someone's well-known name despite it being on your tongue?
These are some of the things that happen to almost everyone and often we dismiss it as fatigue, lack of sleep or work stress. But if this is happening again and again, it could be a warning from your brain. While taking care of our body, we often ignore our mental health. In such a situation, today in this article we will tell you about some easy ways to make your brain healthy-
To keep your mind active, you can adopt dual tasking. In this, you will have to do two different types of tasks simultaneously to challenge your brain. For example, counting down while walking or doing household chores while listening to songs. This improves coordination between the nerves of the brain and multitasking becomes easier.
Visual Memory Test (Observation)
Visual memory test will also prove beneficial in sharpening memory. For this, look carefully at any picture, room or newspaper page for 30 seconds. Now close your eyes and try to remember where you saw something and what color it was. By doing this the ability to focus on finer things improves.
Do not make a habit of cramming to memorize any major detail or any number. Instead, divide it into smaller parts. For example, remember a 10 digit mobile number by dividing it into pieces of 3 each. This technique sharpens your 'working memory'. This trick is more beneficial for students and employed people.
Mindfulness and focus on breathing (Focus Training)
This is an effective way to relax the mind and sharpen the mind. For this you just have to sit peacefully for 10 minutes at any time of the day. Then focus your entire attention on your breathing. To stop your mind from wandering here and there, concentrate only on your breathing. This exercise activates the 'prefrontal cortex' of the brain, which increases decision making and focus.
Keep learning something new (Neuroplasticity)
The best way to keep the mind active and healthy is to keep learning something new. For this, learn a new language, start playing a musical instrument or adopt a new route to go to office every day. When you do something new, new neural connections are formed in the brain, which prevents mental problems that occur with age.
