If you don’t use it you lose it.
Personally, I have been thinking a lot lately about my intellectual acuity. Not that I think I am losing my mind or anything, I just want to make sure I keep my mental faculties as crisp and sharp as possible. I believe most of us are keenly aware of our bodies and consciously do what we need to have a healthy body. We nurture our body by eating healthy, exercising regularly and getting fresh air outside to amongst other things.
Well what about nurturing our minds? Do you put the same energy into your mind as you do to your body. For me, I have stepped up my intellectual development a lot. I read every morning and sometimes in the afternoon/evening. I listen to educational and developmental audio books when I hike and in the car. I am on a quest to continue to develop my mind because, just like any muscle we have, if we don’t use it…..we may lose it! That is exactly what I want to avoid!
Solution….find a path that will intellectually stimulate your mind and work on it everyday!
