Last week I challenged you to begin to do simple exercises in your daily life to improve your brain’s executive functioning.  This week I’m challenging you to continue adding simple exercises into your daily routine..  Choose three from this list below, reminding yourself you’re improving your brain’s executive function.

The more you can think creatively and begin to incorporate exercises into your everyday, the more you’ll feel successful and want to do more. I’m challenging you this week to grow your brain through simple daily exercise.

I’m a gardener.  I love to grow, till, weed, feed and tend to my plants.  Your brain is like a plant. A plant needs to be watered regularly.  It needs to be exposed to the right amount of light.  It needs nourishment in the form of additives and vitamins.  Lack of any of these components will result in the plant not flourishing.

Ok, this is where calendar neurosis tries to rear its ugly head.  I’m tempted to block out a few chunks of time to be able to “plan for” the “always something.”  Nope.  I’m not going to do it.  Nope.  What I need to do is not run such a tight schedule, so that I’m open and available cognitively and emotionally to whatever comes into my day.
