As you know, a person actively uses only 10 percent of his own potential. Meanwhile, constant work on oneself, active mental activity and striving for a goal can significantly increase this figure.
Instructions
Step 1
Go in for sports. During physical activity, oxygenated blood begins to flow to the brain. So, morning exercises will not only help to stretch the muscles after a night's sleep, but also activate brain activity. For this, elementary exercises are enough: jumps, squats, bends and stretches.
Step 2
Eat right. For successful mental work, the body needs to receive a sufficient amount of vitamins. Also, a complete diet should include foods containing iron and folic acid. Every day you should eat lean meat, fish, potatoes baked in a uniform, rye bread, oatmeal or buckwheat porridge, milk, yogurt, bananas, apples, walnuts.
Step 3
Determine your memory type. There are people who can quickly memorize a text only after drawing up a plan, synopsis, or mental map. This type of memory is called motor memory. Some lucky ones just need to listen carefully and thoughtfully to the information, and they are already ready to reproduce it. This is auditory memory. And the third type is visual memory, possessing which a person remembers the material read or viewed. Having determined your belonging to one type or another, it is much easier to cope with remembering large amounts of information.
Step 4
Have your hands. Both. If you're right-handed, try brushing your teeth, combing, and painting with your left hand. If you are left-handed, then the opposite. Gradually complicate the task. Thus, the work of both hemispheres of the brain is activated.
Step 5
New routes. Visit places where you have never been or where you have not been able to escape for a long time. It could be a new supermarket in another area of the city, or an amusement park that you haven't been able to visit since your early childhood.
In addition, change your usual routes, look for new ways to work, study, and shop. They may take longer, but this is the next task for the brain.
Step 6
Drop stereotypes! Especially when dealing with other people. You are constantly in search of answers, do not get rid of hackneyed phrases. Constant control of the conversation not only stimulates brain activity, but also trains creative thinking.
Step 7
Learn languages. This is great for developing memory. In addition, when studying a foreign language, the ability to think associatively and consistently improves, to put facts in the head "on the shelves."
Step 8
Dial phone numbers from memory. In the age of mobile communications, when the numbers of friends and colleagues are stored in the memory of a cell phone, few people know at least a third of them by heart. Meanwhile, memorizing numbers is one of the most difficult and at the same time most productive ways to develop memory. Plus, a broken phone will no longer seem like a global problem.
Step 9
Analyze your day. Before going to bed, having already finished all the affairs, he will scroll through his head everything that happened during the day. Try to remember everything, down to minor events and trifles. What important things have been done? And what, on the contrary, is postponed? What should be happy about? What to repent of?
