讓你每天更聰明的11個簡單方法
The brain is the most important part of the human body. However, not many people know how to "exercise" their brain to promote their full potential. Try these simple tasks that will benefit your brain in many ways and make you smarter.
大腦是人體最重要的部分。然而,沒有多少人知道如何“鍛煉”他們的大腦,以開發(fā)他們的全部潛力。試試這些簡單的任務(wù)吧,它們會讓你的大腦在很多方面受益,讓你更聰明。
Brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand
用非慣用手刷牙
According to research, the brain and hands are closely connected. We can increase the power to control and stimulate the brain by using our hands. By training yourself to use the opposing brain, you forge the ability to quickly switch between analytical thinking and intuitive thinking - the key to creativity.
根據(jù)研究,大腦和手是緊密相連的。我們可以用手來增加控制和刺激大腦的能力。通過訓(xùn)練自己使用相反的大腦,你就能在分析思維和直覺思維之間快速轉(zhuǎn)換——這是創(chuàng)造力的關(guān)鍵。
You can try a simple brain exercise like brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand as well as opening a jar and taking toothpaste with the same hand.
你可以嘗試一個簡單的大腦鍛煉,比如用非慣用手刷牙,用同樣的手打開一個罐子,拿牙膏。
Close your eyes when showering
洗澡時閉上眼睛
By using touch, you are sending different messages to the brain than when you use your sight. We often open our eyes when showering to see the opening of the faucet as well as identifying what is a shower gel, shampoo, conditioner. However, sometimes it should be changed.
通過觸摸,你向大腦發(fā)送的信息與使用視覺時不同。我們經(jīng)常在淋浴的時候睜開眼睛看水龍頭打開的地方,以及辨別什么是沐浴露、洗發(fā)水和護(hù)發(fā)素。然而,有時它應(yīng)該被改變。
To practice this lesson, when taking a shower, completely use touch by opening the faucet, showering, washing hair, etc. while closing your eyes. This practice trains the brain to assist in different situations when you cannot see.
為了練習(xí)這一課,洗澡時,完全使用觸摸打開水龍頭,淋浴,洗頭發(fā),等同時閉上眼睛。這個練習(xí)訓(xùn)練大腦在你看不見的時候在不同的情況下提供幫助。
Change morning routines
改變早上例程
When a task becomes routine, brain activity decreases and becomes sluggish. So, change your morning routine to prevent stagnation. Try watching TV while making coffee or taking your dog for a walk before work.
當(dāng)一項任務(wù)變成例行公事時,大腦活動就會減少,變得遲鈍。所以,改變你的晨間習(xí)慣,避免停滯不前。試著在煮咖啡的時候看電視,或者在工作前帶著你的狗去散步。
Look at everyday objects in the opposite direction
從相反的方向看日常用品
When looking at a familiar object, such as a picture on the wall of a house or a coffee maker in the kitchen or whatever, the left brain in charge of the language is often used to identify, evaluate and then draw attention. you turn to the other direction.
當(dāng)你看到一個熟悉的物體,比如墻上的一幅畫或者廚房里的一個咖啡壺,負(fù)責(zé)語言的左腦通常被用來識別、評估并吸引注意力。你可以轉(zhuǎn)向另一個方向。
However, when something is viewed backwards, the brain must be stimulated because it recognizes that something is out of place and it tries to redefine the object by shape, size, color, etc.
然而,當(dāng)向后看某樣?xùn)|西時,大腦必須受到刺激,因為它意識到某樣?xùn)|西錯位了,并試圖通過形狀、大小、顏色等重新定義該物體。
So, to train your brain, try looking back at everyday objects. Any picture frame in the house, hang it upside down and your brain will be analyzed.
所以,為了訓(xùn)練你的大腦,試著換個角度看日常物品。把家里的任何畫框倒掛起來,你的大腦就會自動分析。
Change seats at the table
換桌位
Everyone knew that there was a familiar seat in the corner of the table. But sitting on the same chair over and over again is not really good for your brain because it does not benefit from new experiences. So the next time you get to the table, try changing your seating arrangement and changing the way you use things and tools such as spoons and chopsticks.
每個人都知道在桌子的角落有一個熟悉的座位。但是一遍又一遍的坐在同一把椅子上對你的大腦并沒有什么好處,因為它不會從新的經(jīng)歷中受益。所以,下次你就座的時候,試著改變你的座位安排,改變你使用東西和工具的方式,比如勺子和筷子。
Train your nose with new scents
用新氣味訓(xùn)練你的鼻子
There are certain food odors associated with different activities. For example, the smell of coffee means it's time to wake up and start the day. Similarly, the smell of perfume reminds you of someone or the specific smell immediately reminiscent of a familiar time or space.
某些食物的氣味與不同的活動有關(guān)。例如,咖啡的味道意味著該起床開始新的一天了。同樣的,香水的氣味會讓你想起某人,或者特定的氣味會讓你立刻想起一個熟悉的時間或空間。
All of this is automatically learned, but you can train your brain to use neural pathways to recognize new odors. For example, if you want to train your mind to remember going to bed at a certain time each night, choose a dreamy scent like lavender and leave a bottle of essential oil near the bed for about a week, smelling it first when sleeping.
所有這些都是自動學(xué)習(xí)的,但是你可以訓(xùn)練你的大腦使用神經(jīng)通路來識別新的氣味。例如,如果你想訓(xùn)練你的大腦記住每晚一定的時間上床睡覺,選擇一種像薰衣草的夢幻氣味,在床邊放一瓶精油,睡覺時先聞一聞大約一周。
Go outside to breathe in fresh air
出去呼吸新鮮空氣
Everyone has their own memories and that's because part of the front brain uses all five senses to create a mind map of all the places you've been.
每個人都有自己的記憶,這是因為大腦前部的一部分使用所有的五種感官來創(chuàng)建一個關(guān)于你去過的所有地方的思維導(dǎo)圖。
So, next time you go to a new place or drive somewhere, lower the window and breathe the air there. Smelling and hearing will retain the air around you. These senses select information and send it to the brain for processing.
所以,下次你去一個新地方或開車去某個地方時,把車窗放下,呼吸一下那里的空氣。嗅覺和聽覺會保留你周圍的空氣。這些感官選擇信息并將其發(fā)送到大腦進(jìn)行處理。
Play with change
與變化相處
Next time, you sit somewhere or in the car, put the change in a plate, including coins and just touch them to train the brain to determine the face value of each bill.
下次,你坐在某個地方或車?yán)?,把零錢放在一個盤子里,包括硬幣,然后觸摸它們,訓(xùn)練大腦判斷每張鈔票的面值。
Change your habit when going to the supermarket
改變你去超市的習(xí)慣
When you go to the supermarket, you usually already have something in your mind that you want to buy and a way to buy it. Rarely do we go the other way and look at all the products we are never going to buy.
當(dāng)你去超市的時候,你通常已經(jīng)有了你想買的東西和買它的方法。我們很少會反過來去看那些我們永遠(yuǎn)不會買的產(chǎn)品。
So next time you're at the food court and buying a bunch of herbs, you try looking at the shelves from top to bottom and looking for something you don't know what it is. Pick it up and read the label. Learning something new will only be beneficial.
所以下次你在美食廣場買藥草的時候,你試著從上到下看貨架,找一些你不知道的東西。拿起它,看一下標(biāo)簽。學(xué)習(xí)新東西只會有好處。
Become an artist
成為一個“藝術(shù)家”
Arts promote the brain in different ways and it particularly stimulates the nonverbal and emotional part of the brain. By bringing art to life every day, you challenge your brain to try new things. Some simple things you can do in your free time are coloring, solving puzzles or simply scribbling on paper.
藝術(shù)以不同的方式促進(jìn)大腦,尤其是刺激大腦的非語言和情感部分。通過每天把藝術(shù)帶到生活中,你可以挑戰(zhàn)你的大腦去嘗試新事物。你可以在空閑時間做一些簡單的事情,如涂色、解謎或在紙上涂鴉。
Make social connection
進(jìn)行社交
Half of daily time we hardly connect with anyone because we are busy with personal things. If at your office just sitting in a corner, not talking to anyone, it can both harm your health and negatively affect the cognitive ability of the brain.
每天有一半的時間我們很少與人聯(lián)系,因為我們忙于私人事務(wù)。如果在辦公室里只是坐在角落里,不與任何人交談,不僅會損害你的健康,還會對大腦的認(rèn)知能力產(chǎn)生負(fù)面影響。
Communicate more, as simple as where to go, ask colleagues or at the store to talk to employees, ask them to help find what you need instead of quietly looking.
更多的交流,就像去哪里一樣簡單,讓同事或者在商店里和員工交談,讓他們幫你找到你需要的東西,而不是靜靜地看著。
