Brain training optimizes brainpower for a desired outcome. Examples include career progress, personal growth, improved relationships, self-esteem, inner peace, happiness, or health.
Effective brain training is simply working our neurons in new ways to enable neuroplasticity to get something we really want.
Each of our five brain assets contributes to brain health and well-being. Physical exercise is good for our brain; but so are art, chess, meditation, singing, and writing, even though they don’t involve much physical activity.
Lifelong learning that is personally meaningful is the key to successful brain training and neuroplasticity. We can maintain our vitality as we age by exercising mind and spirit to compensate for bodily decline and protect our brain from stress-related inflammation.
What is brain training? Something you need to do for health and happiness. Something that is easy and fun. Get busy!
A word from one of our trillionaires:
“Attending brain training classes led by Phyllis Strupp over the past 10 years has enriched my life and added years to it. The idea of balancing my brain as we would our financial holdings, described in the book Better with Age, was very appealing to me.
I took it seriously, and tried activities here at my senior living community that I had no interest in, just to work my less active brain areas. I attended drawing class and discovered not only that I enjoyed it but that I had talent. I began appreciating music by listening mindfully as I attended the opera, symphony, and Pops concerts. I am 94 years old.”
