Boost Brain Power Through Writing

Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to clarify it in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.

By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself logic behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is process of understanding. In other words, you boost your brain power by exercising your "explain power."

Secrets Of Clear Thinking

Where is...car...my keys...hmm...and that...oh yeah, but...hmm - Does your brain feel like that sometimes? How can you combat "brain fog," and think more clearly? Try some of following.

Clear space equals clear thinking. Despite many protests to contrary, it's rare that a person can work better in clutter. An organised office or home means you won't often have thought "where is that..." distracting your mind.

Sleep well. Individual sleep requirements vary greatly, but bare minimum for almost everyone is somewhere around five hours. Many of us suffer if we sleep less than eight hours.

Learn to resolve your "mind irritations," by watching what's going on in your head. This takes practice, but you can start now. Maybe a phone call you need to make has been quietly bothering you all day, just below consciousness. Perhaps you are worried about an upcoming meeting.
