Me, doing something new. A self-driving car!
We are well into fall. I hope you are settled into your fall routine and feeling more at ease. Today is the last element to enhance neuroplasticity, novelty.
The brain likes to be stretched, to do and learn new things. Using your brain keeps your brain flexible into the future. It’s easy to add new things into your life.
Here is your simple challenge:
- Take on a new project at work (bonus: work and novelty together)
- ead books (each book takes you to a new world)
- Walk a different route with your dog. See and think about new things.
- If you have time, develop a new habit…learn to play piano or knit or grow tomatoes.
- Join a new activity with other people. That will yield new conversations and generate new interests and friendships.
- Make a new recipe for dinner.
Adding new things to your life doesn’t have to be time-consuming. Simply figure out ways to add new elements to things you already do. Your brain will thank you.
Welcome to fall. Your brain is all set to go!
