Alphabetize Adventure (in 5 seconds)
First: think of any word or see a work on a magazine cover or billboard (about 6 letters)
Second: stop looking at the word and just picture it in your mind; then arrange the letters in your head so they are in alphabetically order.
Ex: "Number" = BEMNRU
Try this for 5 minutes a day, 3 days a week.
Have a Conversation WITHOUT Using the Letter "E"!
The object is for you and your friend to carry a regular conversation without using any word that has the letter "E" in it. This is such a powerful exercise because your mind becomes a human thesaurus. It's outside-the-box thinking on steroids and after 5 minutes, your brain will feel like you've had an incredible workout! The game doesn't have to center around the letter "E", if you get tired of that, change it to R, S, T, L, N, or A!
Add Up a Series of One-Digit Numbers... FAST!
Adding numbers in your head quickly compels you to continually change the information that you are having to work with and remember. There are very few mental exercises where focus and continually evolving information play such an important part. Which is why this one is so helpful in training the mind to remember essential information while deleting other data or details when try are no longer needed.
As we age, we lose things daily, things of importance and some not-so-important. Many older people struggle with the loss of memory. They have no clue where it went or how they lost it, unfortunately we will all go through times like these, BUT on the positive side, there are things we can do to help prevent it from happening. Usually we tend to go searching for something and then on our way, we forget what we came to look for. This has happened to me and other people in my family in the past, this is what you would call a "brain lapse" instead of memory loss all together. A "brain lapse" is different from regular memory loss when you cannot remember specific details about you or your loved ones. For future reference, I plan on informing people I come across about ways they can improve memory and stop from losing it.
