Most of the time,we humans act robotically. Responding to the multi-varied
stimulii that we are constantly bombarded with pat, learned reactions that are
easily skimmed off the surface of our mind.
One of the most important set of books that I have ever read were those by P.D.
Ouspensky: mathematician, philosopher,mystic and much more.
Through him I learned about higher consciousness levels and rising above the
autonamaton state we seem destined to live in.
Attaining this higher state is no easy matter. It requires hard work and giving
up much that is superfluous to life. The work must also be done with a highly
qualified teacher. The one exercise that I practice, from time to time,involves
being aware of oneself in a way that is mind stimulating but difficult to do for long
periods at a time. Example: While walking focus your mind on the movement of your arms, when you turn your head to look at something. When sitting be aware of every
movement...crossing your legs, adjusting your body. Sounds easy. It's not. Read his
books: Tertium Organum and A New Model of the Universe

I work alone in a kitchen most days so I listen to NPR all day long to keep my mind active and informed.
My monthly book group keeps my critical skills active. Careful reading and thoughtful analysis of the material is definitely stimulating. Having to then articulate those thoughts to the group has provided me with much needed brain stretching after chopping vegetables all day!
My reading has become so quick and efficient that I have joined a second book group.

My newest "brain challenge" is coordinating names with speed dial numbers on my cell phone. For example, my brother and I are 17 months apart, hence he is #17. It is actually quite fun.and makes you think and use your brain before you make a call...especially to those you may not talk to on a regular basis. I try to be creative as well...a girlfriend of mine keeps saying she doesn't feel a day older than 30--so assigning her #30 was the way to go! Try it...you have about 100 spaces for speed dials..does get challenging!

Luckily, my work keeps my brain going as if on a high-wire; constantly learning new skills on the computer.
But, when I want to challenge my brain to "create new pathways", something which conventional wisdom once said couldn't be done, I try brushing my teeth with my left hand. It's not pretty, but the belief is that it takes approxmately 21 daily repetitions for the brain to think it's learning something new and that it's time to create a new pathway. Things like that (feeding yourself lefty-working out with weights while standing on one foot)are all considered brain excercise. There is a lot of research to back this up, so those of you who can't handle the Sunday crossword puzzle might want to try this method.
