Research has shown that just as exercise is good for the body for those who want to be healthy and fit, so brain exercise is good for those who wish to be successful.
The reason is that ability to think and solve problems is key for the individual who desires success. Now since the brain is the organ of thought and problem solving, one should utilize it constantly through stimulating activity or else it loses its usefulness resulting in senility.
Research has shown that when the brain is underutilized, its cells die off without replacement and that in itself is the very reason an individual who has read this should ensure to engage frequently in activities that increase brain activity.
By its structure of composition of over 100 billion cells linked together, the brain is indeed the most complex natural computer capable of activities highly impossible for human made computers. It is therefore one of the most important organs of the body that should not be left to waste but used actively to achieve feats.
Unfortunately, most of us are unable to utilize this magnificent creation of God called the human brain. In fact, even those referred to as genius are only able to use a tiny fraction of their brain researchers put at about 15% of its capacity. Non-utilization of the brain is in fact responsible for things like memory loss, senility, Alzheimer’s and other diseases that affect it.
The under listed are therefore activities that the individual who desires success should engage in to stimulate the brain regularly to keep it active for use to solve problems:
(1) Engage in discussions of a creative nature with intelligent people. By this, I do not mean getting into arguments to prove a point because that will cause emotional stress, which is counterproductive for the brain.
Rather, engage in positive conversations that bring out the best in your ability to articulate your points clearly on issues.
(2) Make out time to be alone to engage in creative thinking. Creative thinking is simply looking at a challenge you have and coming up with solutions that leaves you with a happy feeling inside. This is quite different from just looking at the problem in your mind, not coming up with any solution and feeling despondent, which will increase your stress level.
(3) Eat foods that are healthy for the brain to increase its power through the nutrients they provide like vitamins A, B, C and E. Examples of such foods are vegetables, legumes, fruits, boiled eggs, whole grain breads, cereals, etc. Supplements like garlic, niacin, B-complex and folic acid are also good for the brain and should be taken regularly.
(4) Engage in regular aerobic exercise. As aerobic exercise keeps the body healthy and fit through oxygen supply, it also helps to burn fat in the bloodstream that can clog the arteries and prevent blood supply to the brain.
Notice here I have made mention of aerobic exercise and not anaerobic. Simply explained, aerobic exercise is that in which you can be doing and still be able to engage in conversation with someone without having to wait to catch your breath.
(5) Avoid situations that give emotional stress. Avoid arguments with people who
do not share the same vision with you; prevent negative thoughts from getting into your mind and focus your thoughts and attention more on things that leave you feeling elated most if not all of the time.
Take time to talk a walk through a garden or park where you can admire the beauty of God’s creation, enjoy the scenery, visit new places and generally enjoy yourself thoroughly.
(6) Read literature that stirs up your spirit positively – the Holy Bible,
motivational books, true stories of courage and skill, etc.
All these help to stimulate your brain and retain its cell for creative thinking and problem solving. If only we understood the magnitude of God’s creation in the human brain and can put it to effective use.
If only we understood that there is no problem without a solution as long as we are willing to think it through using the genius computer of our brains to do so. If wealth, fame, success in whatever endeavour is your desire in life, begin to engage today in activities that stimulate your brain and then use the power of your brain to think through and solve problems.
Before long, you will get there. There you have another wealth secret!
