Everyday life offers many opportunities to train the brain and increase its performance. We reveal how you can get mentally fit with targeted brain jogging exercises.
Brain jogging is a term for special mental exercises designed to maintain or improve thinking performance in the long term. Many of them can be carried out without additional material and in a very short time. After all, just a few minutes of mental training a day is enough to keep the gray cells fit. Ideally, you should integrate some brain jogging exercises into your everyday life, for example by using them to bridge waiting times. Try the following exercises:
1. Encourage concentration
Take a daily newspaper or magazine and mark a predetermined letter in each word on an entire page with a highlighter or ballpoint pen. To increase the level of difficulty, you can time yourself and then try to beat your time on the next pass.
2. Strengthen coordination
Tap the fingertips of the other fingers on each hand in turn with your thumb. First tap in sequence from the index finger to the little finger and then back to the index finger. To increase the level of difficulty, you can do this exercise with both hands at the same time, tapping in different directions or on different fingers.
3. Challenge your speech center
Think of a sentence and try to say it backwards. You can also time yourself and try to get faster. To increase the level of difficulty, you can speak not only the sentence but also each individual word backwards. For this exercise, it doesn't matter whether you speak the words out loud or just in your head.
