Optimising brains
productivity

Astoundingly, we only use a

mere 10% of our brains, yet
seldom do we ever think to
invest in a little training every
now and then. For a long time,
scientists believed that we were
stuck with the brain we were
born with! Luckily for us, that
hypothesis has gone out the
window!
Enterneuroplasticity a new
theory that has proven one very

1. Do something new
When you experience something new you
actually stimulate your brain! Dont get
stuck in a rut doing the same old things
the only way to change the structure of
your brain is to do something new. This
creates new neural pathways, increasing
your intelligence. You could take a new
route to work, try a new recipe for dinner,
or even a new form of exercise mix it up!

2. Exercise regularly
Its been proven that regular
exercise helps to increase
brain function and enhances
neurogenesis. This means that
every time you exercise you
are creating new brain cells!
Get off the couch and get
moving! Your brain will thank
you for it :)

3. Train your memory

How often do you hear people say
I wish I had a better memory! Yet
no-one does anything about this! If
you discipline yourself to memorise
phone numbers and other
important numbers (passport,
credit card, insurance, driving
license) you will start to see a
marked improvement in your
memory.

4. Be curious
Instead of taking everything at face
value, get into the habit of questioning
everyday things/products, services that
you come into contact with. By being
curious and questioning everything,
you force your brain to innovate &
create new ideas. Curiosity may have
killed that cat, more importantly it
created super important things like
electricity and computers!

5. Think positive
Stress

& anxiety kill existing brain

neurons and also stop new neurons
from being created. Research has
shown that positive thinking,
especially in the future tense,
speeds up the creation of cells and
dramatically reduces stress &
anxiety. Try and get a handle on
negative thoughts and make an

6. Eat healthy
Our diets have a HUGE impact on brain function.
Our brains consume over 20% of all nutrients &
oxygen that we consume so remember to feed
your brain with the good stuff! (i.e. fresh fruit and
veg & plenty of OMEGA 3 oils found in oily fish)

7. Read a book
Reading relieves tension & stress (brain-cell
killers) because its a form of escapism. Research
has also shown that using your imagination is a
great way to train your brain because you force
your mind to picture what you are imagining.
Reading is a great way to trigger your
imagination!

8. Get enough sleep

Sleep is like a mini detox for the brain. This is when your
body regenerates cells and removes all the toxins that have
built up during the day. Get to bed between the hours of 9pm
and midnight to benefit from the most effective hours of
sleep!

9. Ban the calculator

Remember back at school when we were taught to use our
brains to do simple sums like times tables?! Its incredible
how we now rely on devices like smart-phones and laptops to
calculate really simple equations. Resist the urge to work
things out using an external device and use the device you
were born with your brain!

Conclusion:
With these simple ways we can surely explore our brains
potential. All we need is to follow these ways in a
disciplined manner.
And one day, HE will not be a fictional character any
more and we may find him somewhere in Baker Street.
