Play with Your Mind: Brain Games for Brain Fitness
With all the talks these days about using brain games for brain training, it’s good to take a moment and think about how to get the most out of this process.
Opt for regular short practice rather than prolonged sessions - Your are going to get a lot more out of your work if you play a game for 15 minutes a day for a week than if you sit down and play it for 2 hours in one sitting. Taking breaks and returning to the activity later helps facilitate the learning process and makes certain your mind stays sharp and attentive throughout the process.#2) When possible, combine mental exercise with physical exercise – Schedule your brain training sessions to follow periods of physical exercise so your brain has plenty of blood and energy. In general, you are going to glean more from the exercise when your mind is alert and ready to learn.#3) Become engaged – If there is some sort of storyline or reward system for measuring your progress, get involved in it. The more motivated you are to learn and make changes, the easier the process becomes. It’s definitely OK to have some fun.
