The median age of REALTORS is 52. By middle age, some feel like their brains are stuck in neutral — can’t move forward; can’t move backward. Yet, simple exercises can keep you mentally sharp and ready for action.
Move it. Studies conducted by cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Art Kramer of the University of Illinois have found that aerobic exercise can do more than slow memory decline — it can actually improve your brain. People who walk one hour a day, three times per week, have shown better results in memory tests than those who don’t exercise.
Add something “new”. Challenge your mind with word/number puzzles, a new hobby, or even a new language. Visit new places, learn about another culture, or immerse yourself in something you’ve longed to try. Mix it up as much as you can. Doing the same brain exercises repeatedly can diminish effectiveness.
You’re never too “old” to learn. Continual learning lets you lead an interesting life, keep mentally fit, and can give you the ability to cherish the memories you’re making!
While doing my brain exercises, I came across this article written by my online lead source. I was so impressed and empowered by it that I felt compelled to share it with all of you. So…Get on board the “Brain Train”. Use the 3 E’s of Brainpower!…Exercise, Enjoy, and Empower!
Being an entrepreneur has given me a deep appreciation for individuals who are success oriented and never give up. The drive to always “push through” is a trait of successful people.
I have been fortunate to associate myself with many successful individuals over my life. It began with my father who instilled in me the ability to step outside of the box…to create something out of nothing. He taught me the importance of integrity in business...traits that I have incorporated into the various business models I employ.
I spent the first ten years of my career in the medical field. I worked side by side with amazing individuals who put their own self-interests aside in order to nurture others back to good health. Many times I witnessed life and death situations. It was always humbling to experience the team-work that evolved around trying to save a lives.
As my career path evolved into the business world, not only could I bring those experiences into my persona, I saw a need to spread information…real information for real situations. A close friend of mine began to mentor me in aspects of blogging. He has given me incredible insight into how a blog should be developed…how to focus my passion for helping mentor people to becoming successful entrepreneurs. This passion for mentoring others began when I was a young child and continues today. It is not about me, but rather those who have influenced my life.
I am a work-out addict and a real “ski dog”. Sorry guys and gals…I do not “ride”. I live for deep powder and steep chutes. I love the feeling of looking over the edge of a steep run…feel my heart beat faster with that adrenaline rush and then “jump in”. I love golf…but I always wonder if I will ever break 100…lol! Most of all, I love my wonderful family…they are the best! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you feel empowered today.
