12 Weird But Easy Brain Exercises That Help You Get Smarter And Strengthen Your Brain

4Turn objects upside down

When you use familiar objects, turn them upside down. For example, if you look at something the right side up, the left verbal encoding area of your brain registers it and then diverts itself elsewhere. But, when things are seen upside down, the right network area of the brain is stimulated and attempts to interpret the colors, shapes and the nature of an image that it finds puzzling. You could turn pictures and photographs upside down; you can view your table clock upside down or try and read or watch a pictorial calendar upside down.

5Change seats at the table

It’s usual for everyone in a family to have a seat of preference at the dining table but since your brain benefits from new experiences, you can change your seat or position in relation to the views of the room and items on the table such as the salt and pepper.

6Make a new connection with your nose

Can you remember when you started associating the smell of coffee with the start of a new day?? Or a piece of music associated with a certain time of day. Even odors conjure up nostalgic memories. Have you ever wondered when such things were imprinted on your brain? If you haven’t experienced such a phenomenon, you can link your brain to odors by keeping the extract of a nice flavor such as peppermint, vanilla or citrus by your bedside and inhaling it as you wake up. Do this again when you go to bathe and then dress. This helps stimulate new neural pathways in your brain.
