Extra memory 2 : Play brain games or activities

Another way to boost your brain and memory is to play brain games or activities.

What's the difference between brain game and brain activity?

The difference is brain game is to play in computer or gadgets like smart phone or arcade box while brain activity is an activity that stimulate brain that you play in real life. In other words, brain games are virtual, activities are not virtual.

Both can stimulate your memory and brain functions.

Example of known brain games are Sudoku, Chess, Candy crush, Checkers, Dominoes, Crossword, or even a fighting games, shooting games, RPG games, Strategy games, or any other genere, If these games are play in virtual machine like smartphone, PCs, Tablets, they are considered brain games.
Brain games challange brain to learn new things, think faster, use some functions you may not often used.
However, the downside of brain games is, it is possible that you will addict to it or you may like to play just one genere of games and that keep you brain stimulate in only some parts. Some recent studies suggest that real-life activities is more beneficial for brain than playing just virtual games.

So what's brain activities.

Your brain consist of many many parts which works in difference functions, but today we'll not get too deep into that. I'll divide the brain into 3

Physical activities
-Sports or 'physical games' , Games(without computers) that require physical movement to accomplish will stimulate many parts of your brain. Remember brain is not only responsible about sitting and thinking, but also responsible for your body movement. When your brain control your body in sports to win or beat your competitors, It will do many many fuctions simutaneously(the good point is, unlike other brain workout, you won't get many headache from sport) and as your skill in games improve, so is your brain.
-Exercise, just exercise without winning or losing will not that stimulating to your brain but it improve your bloodflows and still stimulate motor fuctioning part of your brain. Exercise that make you change environment(non-stationary exercise) like running around the village or swimming in large pools will stimulate your brain more better than stationary one.


Non-physical activities
-Socializing, As you talking and dealing with people, your brain will be stimulated in many ways. Studies show that socialized person will less likely to have memory problems.
-Thinking games like Chess, Crosswords, Card games that play with real people in person, not through computers or smartphone. The point is that you interact with real person so your interaction are not limited to a computer
-Meditation. Meditation challange your brain in different way. In the session you will learn how to calm your brain and control your thinking. Studies show that proper meditation can improve focus, memory, and many other brain functions.
-Other healthy activity. Avoid unhealthy activity like taking drugs or alcohol or eating junk food or sitting for the TV for hours. Get some healthy activity like cooking, singing, read books, start small business, see new people or whatever activities you have. Beside of your work and daily chores, find some extra activity that is healthy to do.

Extra memory 1 : Keep learning new things

Go to do activities! Activities keep your brain fresh!

Many people already have hobbies, which mean they already do things they love. It've been believed that doing hobbies can keep your brain works well. But many new evidences show us that, Doing things you do not familiar boost your brain better than things you already familar with.

Learning can help your brain running healthy!

If you do only biceps workout 4-5 days every week for 5 years without doing shoulder and legs workout, guess what happen? You get huge biceps with average or worst, tiny shoulder and legs. That doesn't good and doesn't look good too.

Like our body that need exercise in various parts, Brain need to exercise in various parts, how can you exercise your brain in various parts? You have to learn new things, or in other words, do activity that challange yourself.

So don't keep yourself in your familar activities and comfort zone, Get up and learn some new things! This doesn't mean you have to get out and do things you hate (but that may works well also). You may start doing things that you can do difference in your day (some people think 'I don't have a time'. You must know that nobody have time if they aren't willing to manage it. And it don't neccessary to have to get extra hour for this, just do things differently can also make it, look at the example).

Examples.

You like action games, Try playing new strategy games!
You never play games? Try it!

You write Ballad poem, Try write Epic poem!

You never do business, find a way to start some business!

You never read about science, Try read basic science!

You don't quilt well? Learn it!

You cook bread? Try cook rice!

You don't grow a tree? Try some!

You don't take a picture? Try take a picture with anything once a day.

At first you may feel uncomfortable in some way. Like having a thinking "it's not my things". But as the brain 'get it' and start learning, You'll get more comfortable and feeling your comfort zone expanded. Studies show that people that leaning new things will get memory and other brain capabilities benefitbetter than those who do familar things and those who do nothing.

So, have you try something new this week?

Now flight seem common all around the world. Before 1950s most people thinks reaching the top of the everest is impossible for human, but Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay did this. Today there are many people from all over the world reach the top of everest.

If you're in bodybuilding community you'll familar of the concept of "Train harder, Lift heavier" encouraging you to push yourself further and further, as you do that, your muscle grow bigger, you get increasing endurance, your body get toned. That concepts apply to every aspect of life. Whatever you push it further, it develops.

Let's recall all 3 step to go extra mile.

2. Think great
3. Push your limit

More tips nextday.

Step 2 : Think Great (Think it extra)

This is about how to go extra mile each day part 2 : Think Great, or in other word, think it extra.

One's success must start within one's head.

Great result comes after great actions and most of action, whether great or not great, comes from thinking. If you want great result to happen more, you can begin easily by start to think great instead of think ordinary. As you starting to think great, you will starting to have greater plan, you will starting to have greater action.

How to Think great? Very Simple, Set extra good goals and Plan extra good result.

If you have $1200 salary and knowing that having extra of salary is good for you, think of $2000 salary.

If you are a so-so singer and knowing that get greater in career is good for you, think of be a famous singer.

If you don't drive and knowing that having something to drive is good for you, think of driving a car.

If you car isn't nice and knowing that having nice car is good for you, think of a nice car.

Think extra, and plan for extra

You may think, It is just ok for me to have just ordinary result and I'm happy, why think it extra? Well, in case that you have already planned good, use all of your potential, have a workable plan to reach your goal already(You should have some goal for your life), maybe you don't have to think any bigger. But if you "Just happy", with the result regardless of planning, your potential, and goals, Then you should check your goal that your goals is real. If you have your real goal you will be excited and achieving it would be very happy. If you don't feel that it is so happy to reach your goal faster or with better result,

If you think "I'm not that smart, skilled person enough to get that big goal". It is good for you to know that any skilled person you see isn't that sky high skilled from the date of birth, they decide to be great. They always go forward for extra of skill. and If you take a closer look at yourself, you can do that too in many aspect, isn't it?. Beside, It's not the high skilled or smartest one that achieve great things, but rather anyone that dare to think great and have enough persistance and planning.


So, let's think it extra, and get a extra mile. That's tips no. 2

We'll talk on tips 3 (Push your limit) the next post.

Prioritizing make it extra Great

Knowing is good, prioritize make great.

Everyday you have 24 hr, and many of you have so much things you have to do.

If you can do all those things in just 24 hr of the day, it was very great, but in most cases that was impossible. You can't tell God to give you extra 25 hr either.

So what's the best thing you can do, when you just have 24 hr, to make everyday of your life great?

Thing that give your day extra goodness is planning your day.

After determining what activity make you get closer to your goals and value, as you already do in step 1 (If you dont read it yet and reading it, it is here) when combined with activities in your existing routine. You'll usually have a lot of activities to done.

Prioritize needs two variable. Level of Importance and Difficulty

1. Level of Importance comes from the question, "If I finish this activity(or goal related to this activity), how much impact it have in my life"

The stronger impact is, the more likely you should make this activity comes before other.
Maybe you rate this on scale 1-10

Any activity that have less importance must have to 'step back' for activity that are more importance. This does not mean you can't do entertaining and just for fun things, but you have to know that, In order to make a day greater, your day should create extra value to you and your goals. And most cases activity of just-for-fun don't help bringing you anywhere.

2. Difficulty comes from question, "How much do this activity require time/effort to complete"

This will give you insight of time required and where to arrange it in which time of a day. Heavy effort and time activity should be placed on when in a day that have enough available space (If you have none, you'll either divide it into smaller chunks or just adjust your existing routine to have extra available time)

That's all for prioritize, you need Level of Importance and Difficulty, After you prioritize each activity, you can enhance your planning more effectively

For the next day, we'll talk more about step 2

Step 1 : Plan Ahead

In order to make each day of you a great day, you need planning.

One or two nice day may come from random situation and circumstance, but if you want to have more than one day then you need a plan. You need a plan to make many good day

To plan ahead is to have what you will do on that day
To plan for making everyday a great day you must ask yourself ''What makes my life feel great"

Usually, we feel great if we accomplish a goal or go further toward that goal.
You must know what your goal for life is. If you have none, we will talk on this later.
You normally will have short term and long term goals.

You must plan each of your day what you want to accomplish in related to all those goals.

For example, one of your life goal is to be a good cook that can make all kind of multinational food.
Each of you day you must assign some activity that will move you toward that, like reading book about cooking, see video about cooking, trying new recipe, or doing some cooking to improve your skill.

If one of your life goal you want to make $500,000 money, you should spend a time of your day doing something that related to generating more money.

If you want to get good relationship, spend time each day to an activity that get you closer to that.

So each of your day will bring you closer toward your goal. Isn't that make your day great?

Now it is possible that you may get a lot of activities you should do. But if you know what you should do but you can't get it done, your day may not be much greater.
The thing you need is to prioritize.
We'll talk about this next day.
