5 Activities That Can Help Seniors Stay Mentally Active

Your brain works just like a muscle. The more you exercise it, the stronger and sharper it gets.

There are a lot of ways you can keep your mind fit.
You might even be doing some of these activities without knowing it helps!

Try to skim through the list to see what else you can try out:

  • 1. Reading There are different forms of literature available today. You can try and relive the story from a book that you have loved when you were younger, or if you are feeling a bit more adventurous, then you can select a title that is popular with today’s generation.Either way, your mind will be at work, trying to construct the imagery based on how the author has painted it with their choice of words. And that actually flexes a lot of mental muscles.On top of that, you get to refresh your vocabulary too!
  • 2. Writing a journal If you have never written a journal when you were younger, you’ll find that it is quite a relaxing activity where you can just internalize and meditate.All you need is a piece of paper and a pen to start. Think of it as a way you can unload your thoughts for the day. It will make sleeping a lot easier too.
  • 3. Listening to music Don’t you just love listening to tunes played back in the day? They sure stir up some good old memories that bring a smile to your face.See? Without noticing it, you’re actually using your mental energy while listening to music. It serves as a good catalyst for reminiscing too!
  • 4. Watching a movie What genre do you enjoy most? Whether you’re a fan of romantic films or action movies, your mind will be set on following the story on screen.You’re unintentionally forming thoughts about each character and how they react to different situations. Sometimes, you might even be thinking about how the movie will end!Now that’s some fun analysis!
  • 5. Playing games Contrary to popular belief, games aren’t exclusively for kids. There are a lot more options in the market now.You can go for something old school like board games, or you could up the challenge a bit by trying some recent console games (like the ones your grandchildren play). It looks easy from a standpoint, but you’re actually using a lot of mental energy in order to complete each level.Try asking your grandkids about it!
